    Presseaussendung 21.03.2021 22:53, Andreas Kronlachner Predator Championship League Pool Österreichs Billard Stars Jasmin und Albin Ouschan freuen sich auf die Fortsetzung des internationalen Sport-Betriebs. Das Geschwister Duo erhielt einen Startplatz bei der Predator Championship League Pool, die vom 22. ? 29. März in Milton Keynes, England, ausgetragen wird. In dem von Sport-Promotor Matchroom Pool neu geschaffenen 9-Ball Spielformat wird unter dem exklusiven Kreis von 19 Teilnehmern in sieben Vorrundengruppen und einer Finalgruppe ein Preisgeld-Topf in Höhe von 85.950 US Dollar verteilt. Die sieben Vorrundengruppen und die Finalgruppe umfassen jeweils sieben Spieler, die zuerst im Round-Robin-System (Jeder-Gegen-Jeden) in einem Match auf 5 Gewinnspiele (Race-to-5) gegeneinander antreten. Die vier bestplatzierten Spieler nach der Round-Robin-Phase ermitteln anschliessend im Gruppen-Semifinale und Finale ebenfalls in "Race-to-5" Begegnungen den Gruppensieger. Die Vorrundengruppensieger schaffen den Sprung in die Finalrunde, wo nach dem gleichen Modus der Gesamtsieger ermittelt wird. In den Vorrunden-Gruppen scheidet der nach der Round-Robin-Phase letztplatzierte Spieler aus. Die restlichen Spieler erhalten in der nächsten Vorrundengruppe eine weitere Chance. Von Vorrundengruppe zu Vorrundengruppe wird das Feld mit jeweils zwei neuen Teilnehmern aufgefüllt, die den ausgeschiedenen Spieler bzw. den Gruppensieger ersetzen. Spannendes Monster-Programm "Das ist ein sehr spezielles Format. Man hat an jedem Tag zumindest 6 Matches. Das kurze Ausspielziel ist sehr spannend für die Zuschauer und es gibt aufgrund der Stärke des Feldes keinen wirklichen Favoriten. Es kann auch sein, dass man ein echtes Monster-Programm über mehrere Tage hinweg zu absolvieren hat". "Ich nehme mir vor ganz einfach von Match zu Match zu denken und möglichst rasch Rückschläge hinter mir zu lassen.

Book is worth much more!” —Jason “Your book was just what I needed. I met my old adversary again last week in a league match. Thrashed him 8-2. A close friend, who is also a very good pool player asked, “How the hell did you do that?” ‘Zen Pool’, I said.” —Allan, UK “Zen Pool is not as wordy like some other pool books available in the bookstores here. I always read it when my game isn’t going my way. It also motivates me and gives me a reason to improve on my game everyday.” —Thomas “I truly enjoyed Zen Pool and I believe that the mental focus necessary to become a better player is the most logical next step to improve my game.” —Bob, Indiana “I’ve taken a few lessons from Max in the past and purchased the book many months ago.
