Will it be world standardized rules or IPT rules? I notice that it's break box so wonder whether any other IPT rules will apply. For example after a scratch on the break is it ball in hand or play from kitchen? And does the 3 foul rule apply? Personally I hope it's IPT rules and that these become the new standard.

It's the WPA rules, since it is sanctioned by the EPBF!
However, organizers can have some small changes, like the break-box. So that's the only change compared to the original WPA-rules.
Shir: Nice! Guess you will play too then?

You will be heavily impressed  Maybe I will use someone else to run this tournament, because I have plans of getting some sleep this time... Last tournament I think I slept like 10 hours from Tuesday - Sunday... But it was great fun though! Ana is coming too, working for bwin! Won't give her any breaks

Karl: I haven't put your name down, but I will soon! (or will I not?)
Registered for the tournament is about 60 people, which is quite good since the EPBF sent out emails to their many thousands players yesterday, and it's still 2 months till the tournament starts!
Karl: Will you compete, and will you compete in both events?

Daryl, you're in in both events! I promise you a lot of fun and a great time!  Everything ok! (Easier to confirm with a keyboard and computer, have got a new phone so hate text-messages)  7 players, 7 different countries! Who will be number 8? Exciting!

Yes, I think Niels won at least 3 mini-tournaments, but Ortmann won the biggest of them.
