I was asked to give people a heads up about a Pro-Am event (Irish Snooker Open) which will be held in the Gleneagle Hotel in Kilarney Ireland in December.
The organiser is aiming to attact 160 players which will be split into 32 groups with the top 2 players progressing.
He aims to have a minimum of 40 professionals with some of the top pro's after been approched already. He had 30 of the top 50 last time this event was run in Kilarney a few years ago.
Here are the basic details (To be confirmed)
Players: 160 Max
Entry: 150 Euro
Groups: Groups of 5 players (Best of 5 frame matches)
Venue: INEC, Kilarney (Same venue as the World Series last week)
Tables: 21 tables installed including 1 for possible TV coverage
Ref's: They aim to have a ref for all matches (Free accomodation and meals for any ref's willing to travel and help out)
Accomodation: Accomodation can be provided in the Gleneagle Hotel, Brehon Hotel (Right Nextdoor) or Appartments (Next Door)
With full entry they aim to have the following proposed prizefund:
