The Wynn on maailman hienoimpia hotelleita omassa luokassaan. Steve Wynn myös kova bisnesmies.. Myös The Venetian on loistelias. Hienot on puitteet niinkuin pitää ollakin. Seurataan mielenkiinnolla...

Tuo ei kyllä ole Trudeulta lopuunasti harkkittu.Mosconilla alkaa ola mukavasti traditiota ja käsittääkseni myös pelaajat on pitäneet tapahtumasta,vaikka kyseessä ei ole ollut varsinaisesti rahakas turnaus.Mosconiin tarvii vaan 10 pelaajaa,toivottavasti matchroomin sukanvarresta löytyy esim. 20k € /pelaaja niin voidaan viedä tuokin tapahtuma laadukkailla pelaajilla läpi.

Dear Players,

At the moment there is a lot of commotion concerning the dates of the IPT
(International Pool Tour). There are some clashes with WPA (and therefore also with
EPBF events) which are not helping the case. However. Looking at the situation from
the sportsside the EPBF always stated that this tour is a great oppertunity for the
sport to develop further and further. At the other hand we are also very clear in
the opinion that it would be easyer and also necessary to work together around the
world in case of co-ordinating dates. The mean reason is that if we all work
together the players get the oppertunity to play at all events which again is in the
benefit of the sport. Therefore the EPBF send an request to IPT for a meeting to
speak about these issues. I'm very glad to inform you that, in spite of the busy
schedule IPT and EPBF have, we are succeeded to find a date for a meeting. Let us
hope that we could manage to find the solution for all the problems and that we can
also say here "The sport will benefit".

Please find attached the official invitation concerning the IPT qualifyer which will
be held in the Netherlands, Weert. Ofcourse we will inform you about the
developements and the situation after we have the meeting with IPT.

Regards,

Gre Leenders
President EPBF
