South West Snooker Academy is gearing up to host a major 8 ball pool event 23-25 March.
The International Professional Pool Players Association (IPA) is organising the Professional 8 Ball Pool Masters which will be recorded for Sky Sports.
The event kicks off with the draw on Friday evening, which is also a “meet the players” and autograph opportunity for fans.
Play continues through to the final on Sunday evening. Entry is FREE for fans on all three days.
The quality field includes four current or former world champions with a total of nine world titles between them, as well as snooker professional Alfie Burden, who is aiming to transfer his skills to the smaller table.
The live audience will be well catered for at the South West Snooker Academy, a prestigious venue with comfortable seating and quality catering facilities as well as perhaps the best set up seen for an 8 ball pool tournament.
