International Pool Tour News and Updates

The International Pool Tour congratulates the following players for qualifying to play in the "IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship" starting July 22nd, 2006 at the Venetian, Las Vegas:

Michael Vidas
Gandy Valle
Jeff Abernathy
Andreas Koukiadakis
David Broxson
Rodolfo Luat
Sandor Tot
Rico Diks
Eric Hjorleifson
Chris Orme

After placing first or second in their respective qualifiers this past weekend, these players will be playing for more than $2,000,000 in prize money and a first place prize of $350,000, as well as a place on the Money List! Doing well in the North American Open could result in being in the top 100 on the Money List at the end of 2006, thus qualifying for a 2007 Tour Card. A 2007 Tour Card is worth a minimum of $100,000, click here for details. At the North American Open, these players are each guaranteed a minimum of $2,000 for qualifying and playing, even if they fail to win a single game. These players stepped up and won their way into an IPT event in the first week of qualification tournaments. The good news is that there are still fifteen events remaining over the next four weeks. This weekend's qualification tournaments are being held in the following cities: San Francisco, Pasadena (CA), Tokyo (Japan), Atlanta, Kalamazoo (MI). Click here to see the full schedule of qualification events for the North American Open. Click here to view tournament results from the qualification events that concluded last weekend.

The IPT Qualification System is the best method for populating major tournaments because it weeds all those who don't think that they can succeed, while rewarding those who believe in themselves. Most of the players who took the risk to enter these qualification tournaments have now been rewarded. Remember, the top two players in each tournament qualify for the North American Open. The next four players, third through sixth place finishers, each earn a free entry fee to another qualifier. And four players who place seventh or lower will have a chance to play against an IPT Pro for a free entry fee in another qualifier. This system really is the only true "open" system in which any player, man, woman, or child, can enter and win a place on this historic tour. So if you were thinking about playing and missed your chance this week, you can still sign up for the remaining qualifiers at www.internationalpooltour.com. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity.

IPT・国際プールツアー IPT Press Release 2006/06/03

International Pool Tour News and Updates

The second set of five qualification tournaments for the IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship Qualification System is now underway! Up-to-date on line coverage starting today and going through Sunday, June 4, 2006 can now be seen at www.internationalpooltour.com. Click here to visit the qualifier schedule for the remaining tournaments being held in the U.S. and abroad. You can also register on line at www.internationalpooltour.com or by calling the IPT at [phone] during business hours (CST).

Coming in first or second in the qualifier earns you entry into the IPT North American 8-Ball Open Championship. Over $2 million dollars in prize money will be given away at the North American Open. First place is $350,000. More importantly, last place is $2000...even if you don't make a single ball! Also, any non-IPT member who places in the top six in the IPT North American 8-Ball Open Championship will earn automatic invitations to play in the 2006 IPT Players Championship and IPT Masters Championship. Over $2.5 million in prize money will be given away at these two championships. For the complete payout schedules, click here.

There are two entry fee levels for qualification tournaments. A full entry fee is $1000. All winnings earned at this entry fee level will count towards the top 100 Money List which wins you a 2007 IPT Player's Card. All 2007 IPT players are guaranteed $100,000! For more information on how this is earned, click here. The second entry fee level is $500. If you enter a qualifying tournament at the $500 entry fee level and come in first or second, you still are entered into the IPT N.A. 8-Ball Open Championship. However, you will only receive 50% of any prize money you win. Your prize money will not count towards the money list. If you place in the top six in the North American Open, you will still be invited to the IPT Masters and the IPT Players Championships. If you choose this $500 entry fee level, you will only receive 50% of any prize money you win. This qualifying system is designed to allow players from all over the world to enter tournaments without huge travel expenses and costs. It is also designed to weed out players who know that they have no chance in the tournaments.

Don't forget about the fantastic opportunities available to get involved. Each player who signs up for a qualification tournament can specify a referrer, or someone who signed them up for the tournament. Whoever it is that is the referrer, whether it be an IPT Player, Room Owner, Tour Operator, Pool League, Pre-Qualifier Host, or Individual, will receive a 10% commission of the entry fee (a $1000 entry equals a $100 commission and a $500 entry fee equals a $50 commission) AND a bonus amount equaling 10% of the prize money won by that player in the tournament in which they qualified to play. So if you sign up a player (you or your business must be listed on the entry form) for a qualifier and he ends up winning the IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship and the $350,000 first prize, you will receive 10% of the entry fee for signing him up and a $35,000 bonus (10% of the prize money won)! Even if the player comes in last place, you would receive 10% of the entry fee for signing the player up for the qualifier and $200 more because last place in the tournament pays $2000 (10% of the prize money won)! Obviously, the more players you sign up, the better the chance you will have to make serious money. Simply print out a copy of the entry form and schedule which can be downloaded by clicking here. Make sure to print your name or business name (tour name, league name, etc.) and a way to contact you on the form as the referrer. Make photocopies of the form and distribute to potential players.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

London UK (May 31st, 2006): The International Pool Tour has announced the most comprehensive live broadcast rights package in the history of the sport with its newly-minted deal with Eurosport, the leading tv sports network and multimedia platform throughout Europe.

The Pan-European network will also air a number of produced IPT highlights programs, including the recent “King of the Hill 8-Ball Shootout.” Plans call for approximately two hours nightly of live coverage.

The announcement was made by IPT Founder Kevin Trudeau at a major press conference held today at the Hard Rock Café in London. The press event was attended by most of the major UK media, as well as a number of IPT players such as snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan, Gerda Hofstatter, Nick Van den Berg, Vincent Facquet, and a number of other players from the UK. The Hard Rock Café cleared out their main dining room to make room for the pool table, reporters, and television cameras. For pictures of the press conference, please visit www.internationalpooltour.com.

The International Pool Tour joins other major sports franchises on Eurosport including the Winter & Summer Olympics, soccer’s World Cup, Grand Slam Tennis, The Tour De France cycling championship and other top sports organizations such as the PGA Tour. The comprehensive live coverage of the IPT will introduce 8-ball and pool to millions of sports fans in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK and across Europe.

“This broadcast deal truly signals the emergence of 8-Ball as a major, world-class sport,” said IPT Founder Trudeau. “Eurosport has the most prestigious events and the best TV coverage and now sports fans throughout Europe can experience the live drama, pressure and excitement of the International Pool Tour.”

International Pool Tour News and Updates:

The International Pool Tour is proud to announce that the first day of nation-wide competition has concluded. In Cleveland, the Tournament Director there decided to finish the tournament in one day, so the International Pool Tour congratulates the first two players to qualify for the IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship: Floyd Barger and Tomoki Mekari. These two fantastic players will be playing for more than $2,000,000 in prize money and a first place prize of $350,000! They are each guaranteed a minimum of $2,000 for qualifying and playing in the North American Open. The tournament from which they advanced drew six competitors including WPBA Pro Jeanette Lee. The four players who did not qualify in the Cleveland event will each receive a free entry fee into a qualifier of their choice for placing third through sixth place. Visit www.internationalpooltour.com for tournament details.

The tournament in Chicago (NA#5) saw its fair share of competition. There were twelve players including pool legend Jimmy Mataya, and top Midwestern players Marco Marquez, Tom Spencer, and Larry Nevel. Pro Tyme billiards owner Ed Hillar instituted a spectator dress code. He and his head referee, dressed in tuxedos, welcomed IPT Staff who visited the qualifier this morning. Still undefeated and playing tomorrow in the no-loss final match are Marco Marquez and Larry Nevel. View tournament results, pictures, and stories from this event on www.internationalpooltour.com.

Jillian's in Raleigh, NC (NA#2) hosted ten players. Steve Moore and Sam Monday are the only two undefeated players and will be playing Saturday for the first of two spots in the "IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship." Notable players who remain on the one loss side include Louis Ulrich and Gary Abood. The four players who have been eliminated will play off on Saturday against pool legend and IPT Pro Grady Mathews. Challengers who beat Mathews will earn a free entry into a qualification tournament of their choice. All remaining players in the tournament who don't qualify will automatically win a free entry into a qualifier of their choice. Visit www.internationalpooltour.com for details about the tournament and challenge matches.

Magoo's in Tulsa, Oklahoma (NA#3) will kick off tournament play on Saturday morning. Eight players will compete in Tulsa. The top two players will join their colleagues in the North American Open. Third through sixth place finishers receive a free entry into a qualification tournament of their choice. The remaining two players will challenge IPT Pro Jim Raney for free entries, or $1000 per match for Raney! Follow the action at www.internationalpooltour.com.

The Las Vegas Cue Club (NA#4) drew seventeen players including notorious players Ron Allen, Danny Medina, and Santos Sambajon. This fantastic field of players also includes Oscar Dominguez, son of IPT Pro Ernesto Dominguez. Four of the players who do not qualify or place 3rd-6th will challenge IPT Pro John Kutcher. Check out www.internationalpooltour.com to see who will qualify for the NA Open.

The IPT Qualification System is the best method for populating major tournaments because it weeds all those who don't think that they can succeed, while rewarding those who believe in themselves. Most of the players who took the risk to enter these qualification tournaments are now being rewarded. Remember, the top two players in each tournament qualify for the North American Open. The next four players, third through sixth place finishers, each earn a free entry fee to another qualifier. And four players who place seventh or lower will have a chance to play against an IPT Pro for a free entry fee in another qualifier. This system really is the only true “open” system in which any player, man, woman, or child, can enter and win a place on this historic tour. So if you were thinking about playing and missed your chance this week, you can still sign up for the remaining qualifiers at www.internationalpooltour.com. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity.

They will be playing for more than $2,000,000 in prize money and a $350,000 first place prize! The players who stepped up to compete are incredibly excited for this opportunity to play on the biggest tour in the history of the sport.

What's even greater is that these tournaments are spread over a wide geography, which will allow a lot of local talent their shot on the IPT. Players who compete in qualification tournaments have such a great chance to do well. The top two players in each event will move on to play in the North American Open. The next four players will each receive a free entry into another qualification tournament of their choice. Of the remaining players who don't place in the top six of the qualifier, four of them will have a chance to play an IPT Pro in a challenge match. If the player beats the IPT Pro, they win a free entry fee into another qualifier. If the IPT Pro wins, he or she wins $1000.

Here is a breakdown of the first five qualification tournaments starting tomorrow:

NA#1 Jillian's, Cleveland Heights-
This tournament has six players who entered this tournament. They will compete on Friday May 26, 2006. Two of these six players will play in the IPT North American Open and win a minimum of $2000. One of the players is a very well known player. Visit www.internationalpooltour.com for details. Players are already kicking themselves for not entering this tournament!

NA#2 Jillian's, Raleigh, NC-

NA#3 Magoo's, Tulsa OK-

NA#5 Pro Tyme Billiards, Chicago, IL-
This Chicago area tournament will host ten players including a famous name of the near past and several other notorious players.

However, she will be trying her best to win $1000 per match for her wins! Be sure to follow the action at www.internationalpooltour.com.

IPT Founder Kevin Trudeau is so excited and happy for the players competing this weekend. Kevin stated earlier that "this is exactly what these tournaments are supposed to be- local talent stepping up and winning their way onto the IPT." He also said that "now is the best time to sign up and play in qualification tournaments." There are many professional events going on throughout the country these next few weeks, which means that there may never be a better opportunity to qualify to play on the IPT. Those players who took the risk to enter these qualification tournaments are now all being rewarded with excellent chances to win big. This is the perfect qualification system because it weeds all those who don't think that they can succeed, while rewarding those who believe in themselves. This system is the only true “open” system in which any player, man, woman, or child, can enter and win a place on this historic tour. So if you were thinking about playing and missed your chance this week, you can sign up now for the remaining qualifiers at www.internationalpooltour.com.

ビリヤード・新羅紗で…

時楽が新羅紗になったので、喜び勇んで行ったのは良かったが…
なんと勇み足だったかも！？(^^;)
またまたカモられちった。

やっぱり、新羅紗は気持ちいいですね！
こう言うとなんですが、漫画喫茶で羅紗の手入れを頻繁にされてるのには驚きです。
純玉屋でもそうそう新羅紗は…ですよね。時楽さんを見習って欲しいものです。

シモニスやニッケなど色々張ってあるのでグッドですよ。
僕は基本的にニッケ（日本毛織）の羅紗が好きです。
最近はシモニスのお店が多いですけどね！
スーパーガリオン（１台定価120万円）にニッケの新羅紗が…懐かしい
↑
おっさんやね！

スーパーガリオンの石版は大理石でした。
ブランズウィックはスレートですね。
どちらにしても腕が悪い僕には関係ありませんが(^^;)


流石、日勝亭さん。
手際よく、しっかり調整されてました。
お兄ちゃん二人におっさん一人でしたが、おっさんの方の職人さんは、
僕がアルバイトしてたプールバーの張り替えにも来てたから、
いったい勤続年数は何年？なんだろう？
今の日勝亭社長を専務と呼んでた頃から…
というより、俺は何年ビリヤード業界に…おっさんがおっさんにおっさんと(-_-)
もうじきウオーキングディクショナリーだな！間違いなく。

IPT・国際プールツアーInternational Pool Tour News and Updates

International Pool Tour News and Updates:

The first five tournaments of the IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship Qualification System get underway starting Friday May 26, 2006. Entry to the first weekend events will be cut off some time on Thursday, May 25th. So if you are close to Cleveland, Raleigh (NC), Tulsa, Las Vegas, or Chicago, this is your last chance to enter one of these events. Entry fees must be paid in advanced. Absolutely no entry fees will be accepted at the door regardless of the number of players. Click here to visit the qualifier schedule for the remaining tournaments being held in the U.S. and abroad. You can also register on line at www.internationalpooltour.com or by calling the IPT at [phone] during business hours (CST).

Coming in first or second in the qualifier earns you entry into the IPT North American 8-Ball Open Championship. Over $2 million dollars in prize money will be given away at the North American Open. First place is $350,000. More importantly, last place is $2000...even if you don't make a single ball! Also, any non-IPT member who places in the top six in the IPT North American 8-Ball Open Championship will earn automatic invitations to play in the 2006 IPT Players Championship and IPT Masters Championship. Over $5 million in prize money will be given away at these two championships. For the complete payout schedules, click here.

There are two entry fee levels for qualification tournaments. A full entry fee is $1000. All winnings earned at this entry fee level will count towards the top 100 Money List which wins you a 2007 IPT Player's Card. All 2007 IPT players are guaranteed $100,000! For more information on how this is earned, click here. The second entry fee level is $500. If you enter a qualifying tournament at the $500 entry fee level and come in first or second, you still are entered into the IPT N.A. 8-Ball Open Championship. However, you will only receive 50% of any prize money you win. Your prize money will not count towards the money list. If you place in the top six in the North American Open, you will still be invited to the IPT Masters and the IPT Players Championships. If you choose this $500 entry fee level, you will only receive 50% of any prize money you win. This qualifying system is designed to allow players from all over the world to enter tournaments without huge travel expenses and costs. It is also designed to weed out players who know that they have no chance in the tournaments.

Finally, don't forget about the fantastic opportunities available to get involved. Each player who signs up for a qualification tournament can specify a referrer, or someone who signed them up for the tournament. Whoever it is that is the referrer, whether it be an IPT Player, Room Owner, Tour Operator, Pool League, Pre-Qualifier Host, or Individual, will receive a 10% commission of the entry fee (a $1000 entry equals a $100 commission and a $500 entry fee equals a $50 commission) AND a bonus amount equaling 10% of the prize money won by that player in the tournament in which they qualified to play. So if you sign up a player (you or your business must be listed on the entry form) for a qualifier and he ends up winning the IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship and the $350,000 first prize, you will receive 10% of the entry fee for signing him up and a $35,000 bonus (10% of the prize money won)! Even if the player comes in last place, you would receive 10% of the entry fee for signing the player up for the qualifier and $200 more because last place in the tournament pays $2000 (10% of the prize money won)! Obviously, the more players you sign up, the better the chance you will have to make serious money. Simply print out a copy of the entry form and schedule which can be downloaded by clicking here. Make sure to print your name or business name (tour name, league name, etc.) and a way to contact you on the form as the referrer. Make photocopies of the form and distribute to potential players.
