I have just had 6 days without access to the Internet thanks to Talk Talk, however I am now back and available.
Most of you that are in the know will realise that the 11th Annual Derby City Classic is underway in Elizabeth, Indiana (yes I know it’s not Kentucky, but the venue has changed to facilitate a larger tournament).
The annual ‘Hustlers Convention’ - a phrase I have blatantly stolen from Mika Immonen’s Blog - features tournaments in 9-ball, One Pocket and Bank Pool with every notable pro and road player converging on the hotel for 10 days of action.
This year you can watch live action from two sources:
The Action Report are streaming from the TAR Pit, with challenges and money-match ups. Some days are free others are PPV.
Likewise Accu-stats will be producing and streaming coverage of the main event, this is only available on PPV.
I have put the Action Report stream embedded below:
PRESS RELEASE (02/01/2009):CueSport TV, the Internet Pool & Snooker Channel, announce an advertising deal with German billiard cloth manufacturer, Z9 Billiard Cloth, for the 2009 season.
Z9 Billiard Cloth was introduced to the UK market in 2008 when the company sponsored the GB9 Ball Tour. The advertising deal with CueSport TV was struck off the back of the excellent 9-ball video coverage that CueSport TV offered to the GB9 Ball Tour in 2008.
Designed and developed by Klaus Zobrekis, Z9 Billiard Cloth is manufactured in Germany to the highest standards and certified DIN 9001. It is a very innovative cloth that uses the latest fibre technology and is a result of 3 years of intensive research and development.
Peter Williams, MD at CueSport TV Ltd stated “an advertising deal with Z9 is the icing on the cake after a successful 2008 period with the GB9 Ball Tour. Klaus and his company have shown innovation and are the first industry company to develop a series of 30 second video adverts for CueSport TV.”
The series of 3 video adverts which feature Klaus Zobrekis himself pulling off some great trick shots are now showing on the channel.
