Since the fantastic T9B Amateur 2x Series Grand Finals event held on Saturday 1 Dec at St Albans Hurricane Room, Total9ball Founder Phillip Wildman and Art Worker Mark Parker have been working very hard behind the scenes and we are now proud to announce the T9B Amateur 2x Series 2013.
T9B is now promoting its 4th season of the Amateur Series and it seems to be getting more and more popular with each series, After the success of the 2012 season we at T9B felt it was important to create a bigger and better series for 2013.
Last season we used the 2x format for the first time as a series and it worked very well with players gaining the maximum value money and getting the opportunity to play 9ball using one of the most fresh and exciting formats to ever hit UK 9Ball.
For anyone new to the T9B 2x format here is some info.
T9B double chance events seem to be the most popular format we use, we believe the reason behind this is because it offers unbeatable value, players are entered into the draw twice which means players can lose a match but still be the overall winner of the tournament, it guarantees each player a minimum of two tense knock-out matches and also means each entrance has the opportunity to get in the prize money twice. Feedback regarding these event has always been brilliant and therefore we feel using this format is the way to get the most players involved. Win all matches and you can collect the Winners and Runners up prize money... a very nice days work. A beautiful glass trophy is awarded to the winner of each event and also to the overall winner of the rankings after the five event series.
