ENGLISH-BILLIARDS OPEN SERIES
PRESS RELEASE
The English-Billiards Open Series (EBOS) is an exciting new venture created from the European Classic Series (EBCS) of 2005/6. The catalyst for this series was a simple challenge match set up between Phillip Welham and Andrew Grice for the West Norfolk League versus the Vienna League. This challenge match spawned two new tournaments - The European Classic in Kings Lynn, and the Austrian Open in Vienna. With the adoption of two established open tournaments in Cambridge and Sherringham, the EBCS snowballed into a trial European Series of 4 events, culminating in a fantastic finale in Vienna during May 2006.
The overall series winner was Roxton Chapman, who has been instrumental in setting up a more formal tour - to be known as the English-Billiards Open Series.
Entry to this series is via a one off payment of £200, payable in advance and covering all 5 events. The EBOS is open to any billiards player in the world, but is limited to the first 32 subscribers, first come first served.
Prize money at each event is a guaranteed £1000, with the remainder of the prize money (£5000 for a full series) allocated to the ranking list at the end of the season.
The format will be round robin, 8 groups, playing 45 minute matches with the top 2 from each group progressing to the last 16. The last 16 onwards will be knockout, 90 minute matches.
Each event will be played over a weekend.
The dates are:
26/27 August - Kings Lynn
28/29 October - Cambridge
27/28 January - Newmarket
24/25 March - Carlow
26/27 May - Vienna
Closing date for entries is Monday 21st August.
All correspondence & entries should be sent to:
Roxton Chapman, 10 Morgan Close, Yaxley, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, PE7 3GE. England
