Two Upcoming Live Events

November 8, 2011 / The_Teach / No comments

The end of November is our next foray into live web streams for your pleasure.

The first is on the 19th/20th November and is live coverage from the last leg of 2011 GB9 Ball Tour, the event is named the British Grand Prix but will still take place in Daventry.

There is a whisper that the GB9 Main event first prize will increase to £2000.00 next year but nothing as yet has been confirmed. This event though will be fierce as players like Jayson Shaw, Imran Majid, Daryl Peach, Craig Osborne and Chris Melling are all still in with a shout of gaining the coveted top spot on the rankings.

The GB9 Ball Tour pays out £500 bonus to the number 1 ranked player at the end of the year and a further £250 bonus to the player ranked number 2.

Our second event in November is the return of the Welsh 8-Ball Festival to your screens, we first covered this event back in 2009 but missed it last year due to prior commitments.

It will be great to be back as this really is a fantastic event held at Trecco Bay Holiday Park. There will be around 200 players converging on the venue across the five days and Cuesport TV will be on hand to cover the last 3 days. This will mean coverage from the Men’s and Women’s singles, the team event and the Junior finals.

A Lack of 8-ball

November 19, 2010 / The_Teach / No comments

2010 has certainly been the year of 9-ball for Cuesport TV. In fact we have shown only four live 8-ball events all year, The European Masters, 2 money matches and a Legend’s Tour event. Plus we did provide recorded coverage of the University championships.

There are a number of reasons for this, firstly, there are now a number of different people offering different streaming services that are probably more aligned with the 8-ball games. Some of the smaller tours had there own streaming and of course the largest tour also does, The IPA.

Secondly, events on our calendar last year have been removed, the 8-Ball Super Tour being the most prevalent. Couple with this events that have clashed, we have been approached about a number of money matches which have unfortunately clashed with prior commitments, the Welsh Festival is also one of these events that has clashed.

In 2011 we are looking to make it much more balanced, we already have 18 live events in the calendar for next year and are hoping to add around another 10-15 events to this to make it our biggest year ever.

Money Match TV and the GB9 Ball Tour will continue, plus we have the EBA Masters and University Championships as potential events at this time.

Some of the balance will have to come from you guys, our viewers, if you know of an event, tournament, or money match that would be good for coverage then please let us know. We will try to fit as many events in as we can next year.

We are also looking in to the possibility of a doing a Money Match TV style event for 8-ball, whether this will be World Rules or Blackball is yet to be decided, and it could actually be a mixture so stay tuned for details on this should it come off.

One thing we have certainly lacked this year has been snooker, this is something we also want to address for 2011 and are looking into a number of possibilities.

Anyway, I know it is only November but roll on 2011.

A Nightmare Couple of Weeks

November 9, 2009 / The_Teach / No comments

It has been a testing time over the last couple of weeks, the last two events we had scheduled had to be cancelled (event still happened we were not there) due to two problems with our vehicle.

This led to us purchasing a new car, nice, but financially not so!

It’s actually quite laughable in hindsight as en route to Bristol we lost the radiator, had that fixed and then on the way to Barnsley we made the end of our road before the exhaust fell off!

Oh, and when we broke down on the way to Bristol we didn’t have our breakdown cover or insurance details, couldn’t remember them between us and ended up having to fork out for RAC cover, live is good!

No such problems anymore though.

I am just sorry we did not make it to the events, sounds like we missed a couple of great tournaments.

There is a lot that goes on behind-the-scenes as with every business I for one am someone that just does not like letting people down, especially when we have made a commitment.
