Live Pool from Great Yarmouth

This weekend (20th-22nd Feb) will see CueSport TV’s first live broadcast of 2009. The Universities Pool Council 8-ball Pool Championships will be streamed live online across all three days.

The tournament is the largest in the University pool calendar and it is anticipated that over 450 budding 8-ball players will be involved in the individual and team championships. The man to beat is CueSport TV regular Richard Wharton who is the defending individual champion and number 1 seed.

For the first time in a live event CueSport TV will be providing live graphical scoring and at least two camera angles to enhance the viewing pleasure. In addition live commentary will be available all weekend from Pete Williams and a selection of the players in the venue.

The event is free to all registered CueSport TV viewers, who will be required to login to the channel in order to watch. Joining CueSport TV is also free and simply requires an email address and password.

This is the first of many live events planned for 2009 from the company as it develops it’s portfolio of quality pool and snooker events.

Derby City Classic Underway

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:
