Oceania’s first of four World Ranking Nineball events is quickly reaching its maximum capacity. In little under a week since registrations opened, the first tournament in partnership with Matchroom Pool has received an overwhelming response with event organisers scrambling to accommodate the sheer volume of entrants.
Initially the event set to take place at Empire Bar & Pool in Adelaide which was set at a 64-player maximum cap. This was quickly revised to a 96-player entry limit and now 128.
Resident professional James “Showboat” Georgiadis could scarcely hold back his excitement over the upcoming event:
“To see a World Ranking event like this held in our hometown is wild, I can’t wait for August to roll around!”
The first of two satellite events guaranteeing entry into the Ranking Tournament filled overnight, with the second still rapidly reaching capacity. Michael Cacciola who is a champion cuesports all rounder is stunned with the reception to the registrations:
“The response has been extroadinary. We know there is a strong Nineball community throughout Australia & Oceania but to see numbers like this is mind-blowing. We can’t wait to see the level of skill showcased. This is going to be huge.”
The first of four World Ranking events on the Oceania Tour begins on the 18th of August. Registrations are open on the Pockets Sports website but spots are now limited.
