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.

 Podcast #07: UPC 8-ball Champs [21:22m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

An interesting last weekend and apologies for not having provided a podcast last week, it just got a little bit hectic and we couldn’t find the time.

It won’t happen again! In fact we will try and do an extra one at some point in order to catch up.

This weeks podcast is about the recent UPC 8-ball Pool Championships held in Great Yarmouth. A good weekend of action, just a shame it was not live!

Visit UPC-Pool for more information or there is a decent sized forum thread over at Cue Club International, I haven’t read it so can’t comment on the quality of the posts.

In addition this episode also discusses Ali Carter’s recent win in the Welsh Open snooker final where he beat Joe Swail and of course the up coming live event from Peckham.

The live event should be a cracker, John Kelly takes on Tony Halpin for some pocket money - £10,000 per man! Best of 35 frames World Rules 8-ball pool action. It is free to watch so get over to CueSport TV.
