German Juniors Championships 2007

Naeh, probably just some Austrian 'claiming him' due to Bavaria being so close to them.

That's also my favourite statement.

Currently german juniors scene is under way and achieves enormous progress. If the numbers of players under 19, under 17, under 15, etc. continue to rise then surely the german association will create a new classification and maybe new entry conditions.

Will we see you next year at the championships in Hessen?

Just a wee comparison to how things are up here: The Norwegian Championship will be held in two weeks, and so far 6 people have signed up for it. Last year there were 20 players. A grand (sic!) total of 44 players (2 women) signed up for different snooker tournaments last year.

Hopefully the success of Kurt Maflin will lead to increased interest in future years. Did Maflin's World Amateur win get any coverage in the Norwegian media, and if so, how have people reacted to it?

Yes, hopefully. The rumours have it that there is a greater interest to play on the few existing tables we do have, but I don't know. (I play at a private club.)

And yes again, there was actually coverage of his win on NRK (the stately telly channel), but I had just popped into the kitchen and by the time I got back it was already over

Only if you direct me to a fountain of youth! Preferably one with a side-well of 'snooker techniques' and since we're at it, I'd like some 'divine inspiration' too! (Please.)

I just read a little interview with Kaspar over at snookermania. I find it rather bizarre that he's being called 'the Rocket' *g*

[Mignon]

Why bizarre? After all, Rodney Morris has the same nickname.

Maija, it wouldn't bother me to teach you some tricks. I fear I don't fall to be in Berlin within the worlds days, but if anytime we'll meet each other I'll keep it in mind. But caution! I'm not a professional!

As far as I understand this Stefan himself assumed this name. Considering his age we shouldn't to begrudge the joy to him....
