American Pool Network is hosting a pre-qualifying series of satellite events to determine who will win a $2000 entry fee* for an IPT Tour Card Qualifier. The APN satellite events represent the cheapest and best way for players to raise the necessary large entry fees required for the Tour Card events. Our entry fee is only £25 per satellite, with a guaranteed 3 matches, 8-Ball, IPT Rules Apply. Satellites will be a series of 4 events played at the IPT Tour Card venues in the UK, i) Victoria, London, ii) Stockport, Cheshire, iii) Solihull, West Mids, iv) Wavertree, Liverpool. (All Rileys clubs.) See attached flyer for dates, times and format. Each of these satellite event winners then plays in a final round robin group on the 19th November in Rileys Victoria, London for the chance to win the $2000 entry fee.

Bring your friends!!!…more satellite event players = more money = more chances to qualify for UK Tour Card Qualifiers!

*We will pay out more than one $2000 entry fee if the prize fund allows.

Rileys will be hosting 5 of the prestigious 2007 IPT Tour Card Qualifiers around the UK. They run from 15th Sept (1st Event) through the autumn until the 24th November (5th Event). Entry fees for each of the UK Tour Card tournaments is US$2000, with the bonus of a free entry to a qualifier of your choice if you place in the top 6 at any event.

With a guaranteed income of at least US$100,000 per player for the 2007 tour, the IPT tour is taking the game of pool to a whole new level in terms of its prize money, structure and organisation

I know the main qualifiers theres a dress code.

Will there be a dress code for the satellite qualifiers? or will it still remain as wearing what we want?

No dress code for the satellite events.

Please bring a set of Aramiths along if you own them as we cannot supply that many sets ourselves. Thanks.

do you only want tv balls or will any do

also have i worked it out right some of the APN events seem to clash withh BPPPA

1. Any Aramith sets will do, TV if poss.

2. The Stockport satellite event clashes with Day 2 of BPPPA Stretford - it's a great chance for those who don't qualify for Day 2 to turn up to the APN event without some big names in the draw!!

The Solihull satellite event clahes with Day 2 of BPPPA Guildford - again a great chance for players to show there ability without some of the big boys around.

We don't go out of our way to clash our events with anyone else, but with more and more pool going on in the UK these days clashes are inevitable. Even some of the UK IPT Tour Card qualifiers clash with the EPT (Stretford for example)

Personally I think its a good thing that there is more choice for players now. Tournament promoters will now have to make sure they lay on a quality event or they will lose players to other organisers....

I see Stretford has changed to Stockport!! also I can't see any of these dates or venues (other then Victoria) on the IPT website??

Well spotted Goon, and for anyone else who may have written the details down yesterday, please note that the Stretford date is now at Stockport - I've just replaced the poster with a new one, and updated the Pro9 calendar to reflect this (as you can see it now mentions Stockport).

The IPT website will be updated a little nearer the time - I think they only go up until the 5th Oct or so....They should also post details of the satellite events.

P.S. Thanks for the quick changes Dave - another website I am posting these details on is so filled with beurocracy (spellcheck!) that it takes 3 days to post anything! and that's after its been checked, double checked, lost, found and sent around the block.....any guesses?

Please be aware that the Stockport Riley's is another venue with some shall we say 'entertaining' tables!

Think we can all guess where that is! Stick with pro9.

Most of the guys round here in Stockport where I live never go to the Rileys at Stockport as the tables are so poor and are in a very confined space with very little room between the tables which is why we all use the excellent club at Rileys Stretford run by a manager who loves the game and can't do enough for us maybe if all managers were like that then most clubs would be better.

Rileys Stockport will be receiving an IPT pack so all tables will be recovered etc in time for our events.
