Challenge Matches on the Horizon

August 6, 2009 / The_Teach / No comments

Over the next two weekends (August 8th and August 15th/16th) Cuesport TV are involved in live streaming three separate big money match ups.

Burford vs Gray – Saturday 8th August, 5pm (UK Time) – Cuesport TV

The first on August 8th features, European Junior 9-ball Champion, Phil Burford and former European number 1, Mark Gray. These two stalwarts of the British 9-ball scene go head-to-head for £1000 per man. The game is 9-ball and it will be a race-to-30, winner breaks.

The action for this event will be live over at Cuesport TV to paid up subscribers, something you can do for as little as £2.95. The action starts at 5pm with an undercard match between Andy Appleton (brother of World Number 1 Darren Appleton) and young up-and-coming player Louis Clarke. They are playing for £500 per man race-to-21 I believe and will be live also in advance of the main event.

£10,000 Scotch Doubles Challenge – Saturday 15th August, 5pm (UK time) American Pool TV

Another evening of entertainment that starts with a tasty undercard match, UK Pro players Scott Higgins and Alan Millership match up for £500-per-man. Race-to-15 9 Ball action. A good precursor for what is to come at around about 7pm.

The big match up on the cards on this particular night is an interesting one. Rarely do we see scotch doubles matches outside of the Mosconi Cup so this will be a treat.

Karl Boyes & Chris Melling take on World number 1 Darren Appleton & Imran Majid.

The Prize?

A killer £10,000 winner-take-all pot. The match is 10 ball with a race-to-35 in operation, I expect a very close match, Boyes/Melling have a 5 rack start to make it even more interesting.

This live event will be the first one shown on American Pool TV where you can buy the match in advance for £4.99 or on the night for £7.49 make sure you buy it, amazing match up.

Simon Ward v Craig Reynold’s – Sunday August 16th, 3pm (UK Time) Cuesport TV

Another match for Cuesport TV subscribers.

Simon Ward, one of the most consistent players of the 2008 season plays renowned money player and IPA professional Craig Reynol’ds for a £6,000 pot.

Played to WEPF World Rules this one will appeal to the small-ball fans throughout the UK and Europe, possibly further afield.

To watch this one a subscription is required.

Ralf Souquet Continues European Dominance

Ralf Souquet has won the 2009 German Open in Sindelfingen with a 8-4 victory over Britains Imran Majid in the final yesterday evening.

The win further enhances Souquet’s number one ranking position and he is now 550 points clear of Niels Feijen in second. Souquet has been near dominant over the last 7 tournaments and ranking positions are drawn from these seven results on a rolling basis.

It will of course be difficult to maintain this level of form over another twelve months but with three tournament victories in the last 6 event plus a runner-up spot last time out in Italy Souquet is certainly staking his claim for the number one spot for a long period of time.

Another great tournament for the UK players and this result puts Imran Majid up to Number 4 in the European rankings.

The EPBF Eurotour Top 16

  1. Ralf Souquet (Germany) – 3170
  2. Niels Feijen (Holland) – 2620
  3. Nick Van Den Berg (Holland) – 2200
  4. Imran Majid (Great Britain) – 2195
  5. Marcus Chamat (Sweden) – 2135
  6. David Alcaide (Spain) – 2055
  7. Mark Gray (Great Britain) – 1975
  8. Sandor Tot (Serbia) – 1875
  9. Craig Osborne (Great Britain) – 1855
  10. Tony Drago (Malta) – 1845
  11. Mateusz Sniegocki (Poland) – 1845
  12. Dimitri Jungo (Switzerland) – 1800
  13. Christian Reimering (Germany) – 1790
  14. Daryl Peach (Great Britain) – 1775
  15. Thomas Engert (Germany) – 1770
  16. Karl Boyes (Great Britain) -  1735

In the ranking list, which is used to determine places at major International events, Britain has the most players in the top 16 with no less than five. The next event takes place in August, the 2009 Austrian Open.

Britain Still Going Strong in Germany

May 23, 2009 / The_Teach / No comments

 

Majid beat fellow Brit Phil Burford

Majid beat fellow Brit Phil Burford

We went into this morning with no less than nine British cueists still remaining in the German Open event. After this morning’s round we had seven players progress to the last 16 stage.

The players to fall were youngster Phil Burford who lost 8-5 to fellow Brit, Imran Majid and Daryl Peach who was beaten 8-6 by German star Thomas Engert.

Many of the last 16 matches have already been completed which means I can already tell you that Ralf Souquet will play Mark Gray in the quarter finals. Also, Craig Osborne and Karl Boyes have already reached the last 8.

As I write Darren Appleton is locked at 6-6 with Engert and Majid is leading Shaverdi 6-4. Ricardo Jones and Chris Melling have been beaten so the Brits are starting to thin out a little bit!

More news later.

Massey, Peach & Osborne Win in Croydon

March 24, 2009 / The_Teach / No comments

Got back monday morning from the GB9 Southern Masters at the weekend. 128 players in Britain’s official professional 9-ball tour and what a weekend it was!

We were of course at the event in our capacity as official streaming media partners of the GB 9 Ball Tour and we recorded 14 matches and a few interviews from the weekend which will be available later this week.

The first thing I must offer is my greatest respect to the organisers as they faced their biggest challenge yet when 4 of the tables for the tournament were deemed unplayable.

9-ball Circuit is Thriving

January 14, 2009 / The_Teach / No comments

It was a great weekend that myself and Angela had last weekend at the first GB9 event of the season. It is always great to catch up with a large number of players on the circuit that we now regard as friends.

The circuit is thriving, and once again this has been proven by the amount of players that want to play on the GB9 Tour. Lee, Shir and now Mel are held in high regard and even if there are tantrums throughout the course of a weekend the GB9 team always deal with them professionally and the players respect them for upholding the laws consistently.

Gray, Valentine and Petty win in Solihull

January 12, 2009 / The_Teach / No comments

I have just spent a great weekend in Solihull at the GB 9 Ball Tour, the Midlands Classic was the years first event and the action was always going to be serious.

40 new players joined the tour this year through the qualification tournaments and they battled across 3 tournaments with £11,000 prize money.

The Pro Event finished early Sunday morning with Michael Valentine coming out an 11-5 victor over Darren Appleton to lift his first GB9 title. The match took just over two hours as both players struggled with the break.

On the adjacent table former European Junior 8-ball champion, Steve Petty, beat hot favourite for the Challenge Tour this year, Anthony Ginn, 11-9 to lift his first title – both players in their first full season on the tour.

In the main event on Sunday Mark Gray went one better than last year when he lifted the title over an improved Daryl Peach, 11-5 (Peach, our reigning 9-ball World Champion was beaten in the Pro Cup first round by Chris Cowie). Gray moves to number 2 in the rankings but is still 30 points behind Imran Majid.

The next event takes place in March at Rileys Croydon for the Southern Masters.

CueSport TV to Broadcast British Professional 9-ball Pool in 2009

November 29, 2008 / The_Teach / No comments

PRESS RELEASE:

CueSport TV to Broadcast British Professional 9-ball Pool in 2009

CueSport TV, the Internet Pool & Snooker Channel, have today announced that the company will be once again offering recorded broadcasts of all of the GB 9 Ball Tour events in 2009.

The coverage provided by CueSport TV in 2008 was unprecedented for a national 9-ball pool tour with 9-ball pool videos being available in the main schedule and on-demand. Throughout the course of the 2008 season viewers were able to watch 9-ball pool matches featuring a host of professional pool players including Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach, Tony Drago, Imran Majid, Karl Boyes, Raj Hundal and Pat Holtz, the majority of which are returning for the 2009 season.

Managing Director of CueSport TV Ltd, Pete Williams had this to say, “The GB 9 Ball Tour, through the hard work and dedication of Lee Rigby and Shirley Ang, has become a recognised tour throughout the world due to the quality of the organisation, the star players on offer and the coverage that my company has been able to offer. 2008 saw us serve video to 11,000 unique viewers per month from 110 different countries. It made massive sense for us to continue to cover the GB 9 Ball Tour for 2009 and drive both the tour and it’s standing within the International pool community forward. Especially due to the fact that the tour and the UK have two reigning World Pool Champions in Daryl Peach and Darren Appleton.”

Changes to the coverage will occur in 2009 with CueSport TV planning on providing multiple camera coverage of the main match table and live 9-ball pool action through the live function of the channel player.

The first tournament of the 2009 season, The Midlands Classic, takes place over the weekend of the 9th-11th January at Rileys, Solihull. Viewers can watch 9-ball pool matches from this tournament during the course of the following week.

Can Imran Majid Make it 5 from 5?

August 28, 2008 / The_Teach / No comments

We are off to the GB 9 Ball Tour this weekend for the fifth ranking event of the season – the Northern Masters.

It is a while since we have visited GB9 – the last event was in Scarborough and due to circumstances I am not going to dwell on we couldn’t make it!

Imran Majid owns the main tour this year having won all 4 of this years main tour ranking events and in addition one professional event as well. It seems that Imran’s cut break has been giving him an advantage and his confident and assured play does the rest.

This event has a rule change however, instead of the one-ball being racked on the spot the rack will be moved slightly higher with the nine-ball placed on the spot instead.

What difference will this make? Well it should mean it is harder to make a ball in the corners so could jeopardise Imran’s soft cut break as it does need a bit more oomphh to pocket a ball. I think the rule brings the GB9 tour in line with the Eurotour but it does seem strange to make a change like this during the season – why not wait until the end?

So culd the rule change be the downfall of Imran’s attempted Grand Slam? We will have to wait and see!

We are also changing our coverage slightly, in the past we have filmed pretty much constantly across the Saturday and Sunday and hve done up to 17 matches across a weekend. This is great for content and it is also great to feature a myriad of different players, the problem is when it comes to editing the matches. With all of the other events we are attending we are getting a massive backlog, and it is realistic at the moment for us only to manage 3-4 matches per week with everything else to do with running the channel as well.

So for the Northern Masters we are only filming on Saturday and will be concentrating on the Professional Cup. (Due to timings some Challenge matches will still get recorded) This will allow us time to do extended interviews with some of the top players and also to add a bit of feel and atmosphere to the programmes we create.

I know some are going to be disappointed but we have to do what is right for our viewers and also for the channel, we want to be about quality and not just quantity – I hope we can create something suitable.
