Would just like to say that I am very impressed in the fashion the Total 9 ball tour is progressing. Improvements are seen from tournament to tournament. This weekend in Mickey Flynns Cambridge was a great event probably the best the tour has hosted so far. Improvements such as live commentary, lap top scoring system, livestreaming are just a few new implementations to the tour. The tour has come along way from when it first started. Do you know the Euro tour started with one lap top and one car!!! Can see total 9 following in their footsteps. However it is upto us as the players to come and support this tour and I urge players to come and participate at future events ....am sure you wont be dissapointed. Dont forget there is a handicap system so it caters for all levels of players so please visit T9balltour.com for info on future events. The more players the better the prizemoney. Keep up the good work Phil and Nicole your doing a great job!! [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2013-04-09 23:28 ]

Get that quote on the homepage of the website Phil - praise indeed from one of the country's finest. Well deserved too I might add.

I really loved the flags at the recent T9B UK Championship - and the trophies were something special as well! ...And the tournament poster was gorgeous too! Truth be told, there's a lot of good things to be said about the Total 9 Ball tour. -----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2013-04-10 09:11 ]

Thanks its really nice for Nicole and myself to read your comments. We do work very hard before the event, on the day of the event and days after the event. If our hard work means there are more events and therefore 9ball is in a better place then we are all for it, we wouldnt do it if we didnt love the game.
We are however crying out for more support tho as we really want to show what we can do but this can only be done with your names down and your entry fees paid. Thanks again for your kind words it means alot

Agree with all above comments. I wish I drove, if I did more of the northerners would be making the trip down with me I'm sure. It wont be long until I'm supporting all your events Phil. Good work mate.

Club is right next to Cambridge station so train could be a really good option for many northerners. Nice relaxed journey playing on your phone or tablet instead of driving and then a few beers if you want while you're there

Well said Imran.......
This is a great value tour.... Get 2 lives ( 1 in each side of draw )
So have a chance of taking winners prize and R/up prize plus the rolling Jackpot which currently stands at £300 and this will be on offer at next T9b event in Barnsley... If doesnt go then it will be £400 at the following event etc etc... Also the h'cap system is a great idea as gives EVERYONE a chance.... And also no hotels required!! So this is a tour with a difference but benefits all the players....
Ive played in 3 events and they are improving each time....
Long may it continue....

No hotels required is a good thing?
How things change. When all the events were in clubs people were crying out for hotel events now its a plus to be in clubs? Pool players so fickle lol
But I agree Phil runs a good event which is a great compliment to GB9.

I know what ur saying about trains, problem is there would be definite hotels required unless trains set off at 5am? And they're hardly as cheap as 4 lads chucking £20 in for petrol are they? I take my hat off to folk who do their best with tours etc. Riggers and the GB9 team deserve great credit, as do Phil and Nicole. Keep up the good work

How long before it competes with the GB9?
Didn't this kill previous tours?

Thanks again for all the support and kind words guys it does mean alot. As for T9B competing with GB9 thats not what we are trying to do, we are in full support of the GB9 Tour and infact there are a few players thats because of results at T9B events have given GB9 a go this season. The relationship between GB9 and T9B is the strongest it ever has been as we both fight for the same end result... great events in the UK.

The relationship between GB9 and T9B is the strongest it ever has been as we both fight for the same end result... great events in the UK. Echo that. GB9 work with T9B for a common goal for the benefit of UK Players. That's why we're here and we compliment each other. It's important players support all events in the UK and that's why GB9 were very happy to donate scoreboards to T9B. We have something very special in the UK with GB9 that other countries are rightly envious of and we need other tours like T9B to keep the interest in this game. Let's get behind both tours and not let either of them suffer for lack of numbers otherwise we would be throwing away all the hard work done over the last 5 years.

Both are awesome for different reasons and both require support from players... Nice that Imran took the time to give that kind of feedback! All well deserved as mark quite rightly pointed out.
I think the best event will be in Barnsley, sounds like the venue will be the best and just because of the amount of talented players in that region I reckon it will be a good turnout.
Not looking forward to the journey, but defo the tourne!!
