American Pool Network are pleased to announce a series of satellite qualifiers for the IPT World 8-ball Open Championships - a tournament with a $3,000,000 prize fund. Normal entry fee's to this event are $750/$1500. However by playing in one of the satellite qualifiers you could gain entry for as little as £25.00 The last satellite promoted by APN was a huge success drawing a field of 35 runners and both Gareth Esprit and Martin Correia both one spots in the UK qualifier. The satellite dates are as follows: Sunday 16th July - Rileys Victoria Sunday 16th July - Rileys Manchester (Deansgate) Sunday 23rd July - Rileys Solihull. Each event will cost £25.00 entry. However if you enter a tournament on the 16th (Victoria or Manchester) you will get entry for £20 at the Solihull event. The format will be group matches followed by straight KO. (Time allowing) - The tournament will NOT be single elimination, so players will be guaranteed at least 2 matches. APN will guarantee one $750 entry to the Victoria IPT Qualifier on 4th or August 2006, regardless of entries. This is at EACH venue. Prize Breakdown Less than 34 players One x $750.00 spot 34-49 2 x $750.00 spots 50-65 3 x $750.00 spots 66+ at least 4 spots See flyer for further details (coming soon!)

You can always pre-register by post (cash or cheque) then we can enter you in the draw and you will not have to rush from the station.

Made a new topic about this but I'll ask in here too.
If one was to win entry to a qualifer via the satellite events?
Is it possible to sell this entry onto another player?

Cusack:
Address
APN
Unit 29
Brewers Quay
Hope Square
Weymouth
Dorset
DT4 8TR
payable to American Pool Network please.
Danny:
Firstly I would have to ask why would you want to after having beaten a field of roughly 32 players?
Secondly, if you could not make the date then APN would give the spot to second place. After all everyone in the satellite has paid the same amount of money.

So that would be a total no on letting someone else take your spot if you won, even if no money was to change hands?

They are all Group Stages followed by single elim.
Top 2 from groups will advance to KO stages (Player numbers will dictate exact format)
And Mark (cusack_147), your cheque arrived this morning, thanks. See you all either in Manchester or Victoria!
