8-ball champions crowned in Brandenburg a. d. Havel, Germany

Wednesday, 01 August 2012: The 8-ball individuals at this year’s Dynamic Billiard European Youth Championships have been decided.

Moritz Lauwereyns (BEL) crushed Berk Mehmetcik (TNC) with 7:3. It was amazing to have these two players in the final. For both of them, it was already a great achievement. Since they are both known to be slow players, the tournament management decided to have the match under the shot-clock. Lauwereyns seemed to have the better role in the final and won the match deservedly.

In the pupil’s division, Joshua Filler (GER) had to deal with David Vu (GER). Since they are both teammates in the German contingency, they know each other quite well. No wonder the match was close. In the end, Filler had the better and snatched his second title for these European Championships.

In the girl’s division, Kamila Khodjaeva (BEL) defeated Kateryna Polovinchuk (UKR) 5:2. Just like in the semi-final match, Polovinchuk missed some chances in the early stage of the match and was down 1:3 quickly. But Khodjaeva played too strong for her to intercept her. In the end, Khodjaeva won 5:2 and her victory was never in danger.

Semi-Finals of Predator World Tournament of 14.1

Queens, New York- The 57 year old Filipino cue master has gone undefeated thus far in 8 consecutive matches in his first ever World 14.1 competition. Though not a student of the game and having not played straight pool in decades, no one doubted that he would not perform well as the world's most creative player. Still, making it to the semi-finals is quite a feat.

"Efren likes to win new big tournaments the very first time he plays in them. That's why he has such big historical event titles if you look at his history of wins. It's amazing as much as he has done, he still finds the motivation", said Charlie Williams, fellow pro player on tour.

"He is absolutely my favorite player to watch. I just love watching him play, whatever game he is shooting", said Tim Malloy, long time pool fan and local New Yorker.

Reyes defeated USA champ Corey Deuel to reach the semi-finals. On the other side, England's World Champion Darren Appleton crushed France's Stephan Cohen to reach the semis.

Thus far, Efren has pocketed 1050 balls to stay undefeated and reach the final 4. If he wins, he will face USA fan favorite John Schmidt, a former US Open 9-Ball winner.

A new World 14.1 Champion will be crowned today.

European 10-ball Champions: Jose Alberto, Delgado Hernandez,
Joshua Filler and Kamila Khodjaeva Foto: EPBF/DK

10-ball competition found worthy winners

Monday, 30 July 2012: The 10-ball finals are over. The new European Champions are Kamila Khodjaeva (BEL) in the girl’s division, Joshua Filler (GER) in the pupil’s division and Jose Alberto Delgado Hernandez (ESP) in the junior’s division.

The first final to finish was the pupil’s division. Only after about one hour of play, Joshua Filler pocketed his final 10-ball to defeat Andreas Madsen (DEN) clearly with 6:2. A loud scream came from Filler’s mouth when he realized that the winning ball would go in.

“I felt a huge load being taken off my mind”, said Filler after the match, “I really wanted that title. Eventually, after four times in the final, I think I deserved a title”. “I played a bit offhand in the beginning but then I was able to get back in the zone with my concentration”.

The junior’s final finished after the pupil’s. The tension in the junior’s final was very present. Tobias Bongers (GER) was leading 5:2 and 6:4 and he played solid and confident. But he should not have underestimated Delgado. The Spaniard approached Bongers rack after rack and tied the match at 6:6. The 13th rack was determined by safety play. In the end, Delgado had the better end and won the title.

In the girl’s division, Kamila Khodjaeva played Ana Gradisnik (SLO). Gradisnik is known to be a slow player and forced her game onto Khodjaeva. That worked in the beginning and Gradisnik was always in the lead and went on the hill first with 4:3. But Khodjaeva showed her full experience and was able to turn the tide in the match, winning 5:4 in the end.

All wheelchair cue-sport players invited to compete in the 10 ball championships

The 2012 BWPPA season reached it’s half way point at the last event in Liverpool with Tony Southern taking his second event in a row, and extending his lead in the rankings over Roy Kimberley. Tony will be going for a hat trick in Cardiff, but it will be tough, with a big field expected for the event, including Ireland's former World 9 Ball Champion and winner of the first BWPPA event of the season, Fred Dinsmore, making the trip over the Irish sea.

In the last few weeks the tour is pleased to announce that Predator Cues has agreed to continue to support the tour in 2012 and beyond, and this year this includes amongst the prizes available, a top of the range Ikon cue will be presented to the player at the top of the rankings at the end of the season.

The players have recently voted on some changes to the tour, including a revised challenge event, and a change to the seeding and fee structure.

The season continues on the 18th/19th August at Riley’s Cardiff City and you could be part of it!

A number of our players will be battling for the top end of the rankings, with places available in the World Championship in Qatar in September 2012 it promises to be an exciting event.

The tour welcomes players of widely ranging ability with two events spanning the weekend. This means that non-elite players can battle amongst themselves in the "Challenge" Cup as well as having the opportunity of matching themselves against the top players on the tour in the main ranking event.

Straight Pool finals decided in Brandenburg a.d.Havel

Saturday, 28 July 2012: The final matches have been played in the Straight Pool competition. Finn Eschment and Raphael Wahl (both GER) have taken the Gold Medals.

The match in the junior’s division was pretty one-sided. Eschment played the highest run of the tournament so far. He was leading 13:5 in the third inning. The fourth inning was 95:5. Eschment ran 82 balls. The next inning was the final one. Wolf had no answer to that and Eschment seized the crown off him, winning 100:5.

In the pupil’s division, the match was more exciting. Wahl took a 73: 13 lead over Filler and it looked like the match would be over soon. But Filler struck back and made the score 66:73. Then, he missed an easy 8-ball with 2 balls remaining on the table. That was just enough for Wahl. He pocketed the two balls and won the crown in the pupil’s division.

9-Ball Pool Division: The tale of Alex and Johnny!

150 plus, 9-Ball players attended the inaugural Diamond Southern Classic at Harrah's Hotel and Casino in Tunica, Mississippi.

And, then there were six.

Shane Van Boening had just lost to Filipino Dennis Orcollo only to buy back and, with the luck of the re-draw, faced him again. This time, Shane won.

Johnny Archer, at 7-4, eliminated Canadian John Morra, Shane Van Boening sent Warren Kiamco to the re-buy booth, then Archer sent Kiamco back to the Philliipines.

Then there were three. Shane in a great come-from-behind performance, got 5-6 and left Alex safe. Alex jumped the ball, ran out, and Shane was on his way back to South Dakota. That left 10-Ball finalists, Alex and Johnny.

Simultaneously, during the Southern Classic event, the Diamond 10-Ball Championship was in progress. The competition, held on the new Diamond, one piece slate, 10 foot table is a monster. And, as creator Greg Sullivan says. "10-Ball on a ten foot, is the true test to determine who is the champion."

Previously, last night, at 14-14 in the race to 15 finals, Alex "The Lion" Pagulayan faced Johnny "The Scorpion" Archer who had just fouled. Alex now had ball in hand. He had been ahead 14-12 and had sweated that elusive, last game.

"I'm so nervous," he announced, "I have to go go to the bathroom." Not only that, he and Johnny had been at the table for over 3 hours without a break.

Alex returned to the Accu-Stats Arena, took a leisurely stroll around the 50 square foot table, steadied his stroke and, with the true heart of a LION, ran the rack to pocket $12,000. Johnny got 7 for second.

Now, in the 9-Ball finals he had a 6-1 lead. Johnny, never a quitter, nipped and ducked and, at 3-6, broke and ran the next three racks.... cont.

Karen Corr Earns Enshrinement in Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame
By Mike Panozzo

The United States Billiard Media Association today announced that Karen Corr will be inducted into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 2012.

In 1998, when Corr moved to United States and traded snooker for American 9-ball she attacked the Women¹s Professional Billiard Association Classic Tour with precision shooting and unbreakable concentration. Corr¹s quick rise to the top and her consistent dominance on American soil has earned her the only spot in this year¹s BCA Hall of Fame class.

The Northern Ireland born Corr, 42, will be formally inducted into Greatest Player wing of the BCA Hall of Fame on October 26, 2012 during ceremonies at the Holiday Inn in Virginia Beach, VA.

Shortly after winning her fourth world snooker title in 1997, Corr moved to the U.S., switched her game to 9-ball and raced through one WPBA qualifier after another in pursuit of a Classic Tour touring card. After just six months, Corr was ranked 24th in the WPBA, rising to No. 4 in 1999. She captured her first Classic Tour title in 2000, the Cuetec Cues Players Championship. She added two more tour titles in 2000, and then rose to the No. 1 ranking in 2001 with an amazing six titles. In the same year, she also was named Player of the Year (POY) by Pool & Billiard Magazine and Billiards Digest, breaking Allison Fisher¹s string of five consecutive POY honors.

In her 13 years playing in the U.S., Corr has won 15 Classic Tour titles, four BCA Open titles, three WPBA National Championships and three Tournament of Champions titles. She has won numerous international and regional events and was runner-up twice at the WPA World 9-Ball Championships. Corr also has a Joss Northeast Tour title to her credit and from 2001 through 2008 she was one of the open tour¹s most successful players.

³It¹s awesome to be appreciated this way for your skills,² Corr said after learning of the honor. ³And I want to thank the people who vote for the Hall of Fame.²

PRO9 has established an outstanding reputation as Europes No.1 source for information on American Pool in the UK and Europe. Upcoming tournament details, prompt match reporting, exclusive images by talented photographers, superb articles by expert pundits, active pool related forums, player profiles and a very sophisticated membership - basically, an incredible information resource for the American style game in Europe.
Since it launched, PRO9 has become compulsory reading, not just for the UKs pool players, but to hundreds and thousands of pool obsessives from around the world every single day.
PRO9s members range from professional pool players, cue-sports enthusiasts, club managers, tournament organisers, pool fans and aficionados, as well as various "movers and shakers" in the cue-sports field, including entrepreneurs in the wholesale and retail sector, as well as magazine editors and television sports promoters.
Growing more and more popular every single year, PRO9 is the best placed vehicle for the promotion of your pool club, billiards brand, associated products, services and opportunities in the truly massive pan-European billiard market.
