Facebook Challenge

We set fans of Cuesport TV the challenge of helping us reach 1000 Facebook fans by 31st January 2010. The response so far has been very good, when I checked this morning we had 798 fans signed up.

If we reach the target then we will donate £100 to the Paul Hunter Foundation and one lucky ‘fan’ will receive a £50 voucher for BilliardsBoutique.com.

Gareth Potts v Oly Bale - £10,000 per man - 8 Ball Challenge

Saturday 16th January sees this eagerly awaited match actually take place. The talk will be over and the action will commence. The dislike amongst the players is well known which is why this match is of huge importance.

Gareth Potts as a three-time world champion will undoubtedly start as favourite, however, Oly Bale has a good game and if he plays his own game then has every chance of causing an upset.

The game will be live on Cuesport TV, Potts v Bale 8 Ball Challenge, and viewers will need to pay to watch this event.

A subscription costs from £2.95 and a how to guide is available here: How to Subscribe to Cuesport TV.

Firstly, A massive thank you for your support of Cuesport TV and On the Baize throughout 2009. It was a big year for us and without you listening, watching, rating, downloading and reviewing there would be no Cuesport TV.

2010 will be even bigger with some huge plans in the pipeline for some great content and interesting ideas. The first will be a move to a video podcast on this website (we will still release an audio version as well for those that enjoy listening rather than watching).

Facebook Fanpage Challenge

This is something really important to us, we want to have 1000 fans signed up to our Facebook Fanpage by 31st January 2010.

If we reach this number then we will donate £100 to the Paul Hunter Foundation - in addition one of these fans will be drawn at random on 1st February to receive a £50 Voucher for BilliardsBoutique.com

Please help us reach 1000 fans by joining the page and telling your friends.

Dennis Orcullo of the Philippines beat Ralf Souquet to lift the Predator International 10-ball title. The two semi-finals, that also included Orcullo’s countrymen, Kiamco and Pagulayan, along with the final were recorded for later TV distribution.

Unfortunately it will not be available in the UK, as far as I am aware. I have already seen the schedule over in Asia on ESPN Star Sports and assume it will also feature on ESPN in North America.

The German Open Eurotour event started yesterday with 16 British players involved in the event including Daryl Peach, Darren Appleton, Imran Majid and Karl Boyes. Very possible we could lift yet another title!
