So after weeks of build up the date finally arrived for Total9ball Undisputed 'Judgement Day' T9B promised an event with the best amateur players in the country all involved, we promised there would be excellent prize money and a buzz in the venue and I strongly believe we delivered on all our promises.

Saturday 22 November was the date and The Hurricane Room in High Wycombe was the venue. Eight beautiful newly re-clothed tables were used and enjoyed by the players competing. This event was unique to Total9ball as we took it back to a simple old school format of straight knock-out. We increased the races to 15 racks to offer value to the participants, each match was winner breaks and the full ten ball call shot rules were applied. Call shot and call safe made this event very interesting as it meant a lucky shot was extremely rare. If a player called a pot and missed it, the opponent had the option to shoot the next shot or pass it back, this meant as many players found out, missing a pot and hooking your opponent actually meant you had hooked yourself.

25 players started the event hoping to take down the magnificent first prize of �850... Pretty good for a one day event with little expenses other than your transport to the venue. The total pot for the event was �2600. What is also exciting for the future is, this format could cope with 64 players and perhaps more if the races were slightly shortened and with those numbers we could be looking at between �2000 and �2500 to the winner, while still paying out profitable prize money to other players on the day.

So the eagerly awaited draw took place just after 10am and was completed by a member of staff from the beautiful Hurricane Room club. As there were 25 players in the draw 7 byes were added meaning a handful of lucky players were just one match win away from �150 in prize money.

Thanks to Dynamic Billard for sponsoring this event.
