European Championship 2010

We're trying to get it arranged. The host country is asked to supply the hardware to save the transport costs but nothing has been provided yet.

We do have the very very very fast internet upload speeds here so just need cameras and laptops/pc to set it up

Whats happening in the billiards? I understand the EBSA have managed to ruin the billiards comp just as they did in Malta.

[Frying Scotsman]

EBSA told one of the billiard organisers that they were disapointed that they only managed to get 10 entrys-some cheek saying that as it would have been more of a farce if more players had travelled to play.I have heard a number of storys regarding the billirds competition out there and sadly there is nothing good to report

[topman]

Will EBOS continue with their efforts to stage billiards comps alongside EBSA? This is the second comp in a row where something has happened with the billiards surely EBOS will want to draw a line under this.
I understand what you say about there only being 10 entries but the main reason for this is players refusing to enter as a result of what happened in Malta

Ah so you heard, you're not here to give first hand facts. Oh how we love second hand mangled misinformation.

Malta was a misunderstanding between the table fitter and the hotel and just "one of those things".

But sadly the EBOS players seem to have voted with their feet and not come to the European Championship in Romania.
It's really almost unfeasable to set up tables, trophies, free rooms for EBOS officials and other outgoings for just 10 players.

The EBOS final has just started. It's a 2 hour final and it's John Hartley v Brian Harvey.

You can find a livestream here http://www.esnooker.pl/live/en/video.php?stol=1

Stolk leads 3-2.

Brecel just did a 120 break

[rivercard]

Brecel won 7-4, congratulations!

He qualified for the Main Tour for a second time, but he's still too young to turn pro.. Must be a record.
