Event One of the eagerly anticipated T9B Amateur Series 2013 wasn�t going to disappoint. There was a record entry level of 47 players which is fantastic for a single day event which included very high quality players and also many new faces which is great for UK 9ball in general.

It was always going to be a long day with the high entry and the format used which was the double chance. Nicole Hansen, T9B Tournament Director, was run off her feet all day taking results and calling matches to the tables. T9B founder Phil Wildman said, "I and many others expected an early morning finish and that perhaps we had taken on too much with the amount of players. so to have the Final starting at just a few minutes past 11pm was brilliant. I really thank Nicole for all her hard work. T9B will slightly reduce the field for event two so don�t delay your entry as I can promise you places wont be available for long."

The Total9Ball Amateur 2x Series 2013 has a few new added features this season these being the roll up pots. There are three of these and they are...

1.    The Break Dish, �1 per player is put into the break dish pot - two players per event are picked randomly to attempt a successful clearance of the nine balls. This was attempted by new player Mike Chappell and Nathan James from Neath. Both players failed to complete this so the pot rolls over to Event 2 and the prize will increase from �50.

2.    The Double Quarter Final, 50p per player is collected from the entry fee and is payed to the first player to be included in the Quarter Finals Twice. (This was won by Tem Dixon).

3.    The Jackpot, �1 per player is collected and will be paid out to the first player who remains undefeated for the whole event, if a player does this they would collect the Winners and Runners up prize as well as this accruing pot which currently has �50 rolling over.

As these pots become bigger, the excitement at T9B events will increase and players won't want to miss an event for fear of these pots being won.

The field of 47 players at event one was very strong and included Arfan Dad, Al Coton, Courtney Symons, Dave Nelson, Glen Cooney, Luke Rollison, Phil Wildman and Ramesh Gokhul to name a few. It was great to see some of Leicester's best competing... Aslam Abubaker, Barry French and Tem Dixon all achieved some great results.
