First two entries received already from the UK within minutes of the event being publicised. The power of advertising on Pro 9 works again!!!! Don´t book Friday morning flights yet as I have not got a confirmed time for the start. More information as and when I get it.  [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2008-03-20 07:16 ]

OK, now confirmed. You can book early Friday morning flights that arrive no later than about 2 pm or 3 pm. I will get updated information regarding hotel prices as soon as possible.

I'd quite like to go to this if I can get away with taking just Friday off work. Unfortunately flights back are on Saturday and Tuesday and Tuesday is definately out for me. Can you tell us more about the format and schedule over the 3 days please Peter.

We are expecting that the 10,000 euro first prize will attract a big field, hopefully we will reach the limit of 256 players. The format will be much like the Eurotour in as much as there will be 8 groups of 32 playing doublee knockout until we have four qualifiers. The races will be to 8 in the group stages with winners breaking, at this time we are not intending to tap tables. The final 32 will play straight KO with races to 9. It is expected that the final will be quite late on Sunday evening so a Monday or Tuesday return would be essential. Sorry for those who have to work, I remember faintly how that is but since I retired at 52 years of age, 18 years ago, the memory is fading. If anyone needs any more information, please ask. This will be a good tourney, so make it if you can.
