Klagenfurt Billard Mekka Europas Presseaussendung 10.10.2018 21:35, Andreas Kronlachner Klagenfurt Billard Mekka Europas Mehr als 200 Teilnehmer aus über 30 Ländern werden am Wörthersee erwartet, darunter auch die neue Nummer 1 der WPA-Welt- und Euro Tour-Europarangliste, Eklent Kaci. Der erst 19-jährige Albaner fixierte Ende September beim Euro Tour Stop in Leende (Niederlande) mit Rang 2 bereits sein Ticket für die 25. Auflage des Mosconi Cups, einem dem Ryder Cup nachempfundenen Kontinentalvergleichskampf der besten Pool Billard Spieler Europas und den USA, der in diesem Jahr vom 4. bis 7. Dezember im Alexandra Palace in London vor über 2.000 enthusiasmierten Billard-Fans über die Bühne gehen wird. Mosconi Cup Qualifikation in der heissen Phase ? He und Ouschan direkte Konkurrenten Nach London begleiten wollen Kaci auch die aktuelle Nummer 2 und 3 der Euro Tour-Rangliste - Österreichs Pool-Billard Top-Stars Mario He und Albin Ouschan. In Klagenfurt geht es für das Rot-Weiss-Rote Erfolgsduo darum, weitere wichtige Mosconi Cup Qualifikationspunkte zu sammeln , sitzen den beiden doch mit dem Niederländer Niels Feijen und dem Spanier David Alcaide starke Konkurrenten um die zwei verbleibenden "Team Europe" Fixplätze im Nacken. Die beiden restlichen Plätze werden von "Team Europe" Kapitän Marcus Chamat aus Schweden per Wildcard vergeben. "Ich will mir nicht so viele Gedanken über den Mosconi Cup machen sondern einfach nur so gut wie möglich spielen und dann schauen wir was dabei herauskommt" geht "Chinese Shooter" Mario He die entscheidende Phase der Mosconi Cup Qualifikation bewusst locker an. Der bullige Vorarlberger mit chinesischen Wurzeln gilt aufgrund seines offensiven Spielstils als einer der spektakulärsten Akteure auf der Euro Tour. Lokalmatador Albin Ouschan ist mit seinem dritten Platz in Leende im Mosconi Cup Qualifikationsranking hinter Eklent Kaci auf Rang 2 vorgestossen und damit einen Rang vor Mario He klassiert. Der Weltranglisten-Siebente strebt nach 2015 und 2016 seine bereits dritte Teilnahme beim Kontinentalvergleichsklassiker an. Ouschan möchte bei seinem Heim-Turnier seine gute Ausgangsposition weiter verbessern bevor es Ende Oktober bei den International Open in Norfolk/Virginia zum finalen Qualifikations-Showdown kommt. "Wenn man sich für den Mosconi Cup qualifiziert dann zeigt das, was man über das Jahr hinweg geleistet hat. Diese Saison war bisher sicher nicht meine allerbeste aber ich habe viele Podestplätze holen können und bin daher nicht unzufrieden. Was mein Spiel angeht fühle ich mich derzeit sehr gut am Tisch und bin zuversichtlich, dass ich auch "zu Hause" in Klagenfurt um die Podestplätze mitmischen und wichtige Punkte für die Mosconi Cup Qualifikation holen kann" sagte Ouschan. Lechner marschiert Richtung Spitze Mit dem Tiroler Maximilian Lechner hat Österreich ein drittes, heisses Eisen im Feuer. Der Innsbrucker überzeugt seit Monaten mit stabilen Leistungen und hat bereits den Sprung auf Platz 6 ÖPBV - www.oepbv.at - [email protected] Presseaussendung der Europarangliste geschafft ? Tendenz weiter steigend. "Ein echtes Top-Resultat auf der Euro Tour fehlt mir zwar noch aber ich weiss, dass ich das Potential dazu habe. Jetzt heisst es einfach weiter konsequent dran bleiben und vielleicht gelingt mir ja gerade in Klagenfurt der nächste Schritt nach oben". Jasmin Ouschan peilt Heimerfolg an Den Schritt ganz nach oben in der Damen Konkurrenz möchte in Klagenfurt auch Co-Veranstalterin Jasmin Ouschan machen. Die Rekordeuropameisterin hat sich in Ruhe auf ihr "Heimspiel" vorbereitet und geht topfit in den am Samstag startenden Damen-Bewerb. "Vor den eigenen Fans zu spielen gibt mir immer zusätzliche Motivation und mein Anspruch muss natürlich sein hier "zu Hause" zu gewinnen. Meine Vorbereitung ist im Gegensatz zum Vorjahr (Anm. Fahrrad-Unfall) sehr gut verlaufen und ich bin bereit, gegen die auch in diesem Jahr absolut hochklassige Konkurrenz zu bestehen und den Titel zu holen" erklärte die 15-fache Women?s Euro Tour Siegerin.

    Contact: Mike Panozzo United States Billiard Media Association 312-341-1110 [email protected] Rob Johnson Billiard Congress of America 303-243-5070 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Oliver Ortmann and Charles Ursitti Earn Enshrinement in Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame Broomfield, Colo., August 18, 2015 —Two trailblazers in the pool world have earned election into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 2015. Former world champion Oliver Ortmann of Germany and pool promoter/historian Charles Ursitti will be inducted as the 65th and 66th members of the sport’s hall of fame, the United States Billiard Media Association announced today. Ortmann, 48, of Hamburg, will enter the Greatest Players wing of the BCA Hall of Fame, while Ursitti, 68, who was born in New York City and now resides in Florida, will be honored for Meritorious Service. Both will be formally inducted during ceremonies on Oct. 29, 2015, at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside in Norfolk, Va. One of the most decorated players in Europe, Ortmann led the way for European players in the United States by scoring a shocking win over pool legend Steve Mizerak in the final of the 1989 BCA U.S. Open 14.1 Championship in Chicago. Ortmann went on to win the 1993 BCA U.S. Open, as well as three World Pool-Billiard Association world titles — the 1993 WPA World 9-Ball Championship and the WPA World 14.1 Championship in 2007 and 2010. The fiery Ortmann twice won the International Challenge of Champions (1997 and 2000), and captained Team Europe’s winning Mosconi Cup squad in 2002.

    GB 9 Ball Tour Stop 1 - 2008 GB9 Midlands Classic Rileys American Pool and Snooker - Solihull West Midlands Fri/Sat/Sun 1-3 February 2008 GB9 Midlands Classic – One Long Weekend - Three Ranking Tournaments This was the inaugural event of Britains new official 9 ball tour, actually three tournaments in one long weekend with a prize fund totalling over GBP11,000 (US22000 or EUR160000) at each event – the Main Event (consisting of all 128 tour players), the Challenge Cup (for the 96 players aiming for promotion to the Pro Cup next year), and the Pro Cup (the elite top 32 UK professionals). The event was held in the beautiful Rileys Pool & Snooker Club at Solihull in the heart of England. Majid wins first GB9 Pro Cup AND GB9 Main Tournament at Midlands Classic This was a very successful and profitable weekend for Londoner Imran Majid as he eventually scooped up both of the winner's trophies for the two events he entered, along with the winner's cheques too. A small hours win over Phil Burford in the final of GB9 Pro Cup event gave “The Maharajah” his first trophy, and although the match was fairly one-sided (11-4 to Majid) many tributes have been made of Burford’s heroic route to the final, conquering 2007 World Pool Champion Daryl Peach with a 9-6 result in the Quarter-Final stage, followed by a 9-7 Semi-Final win over the man who took 3rd place at the same World Championships, Karl Boyes. An incredible feat for anyone – but an even greater achievement when you consider that Phil Burford is only 17 years old! Majid then proceeded to win the gruelling 128 man Main Event with a nail-biting 11-10 win over fellow EuroTour champion and current EuroTour No.1 ranked player Mark Gray, a former world ranked (No.71) snooker player.
