Pool Tournament - End of Time Pool Event

Pool – End of The World Tournament

Pool: The ancient Mayan civilisation of self-proclaimed prophets and conspiracy theorists claims that Friday, December 21st, 2012, will mark the ‘end of days’ for all. The end of time, however, will not stop a keen pool player from picking up his cue. Therefore, what better way to celebrate than holding an End-of-the-World Pool Tournament?

In association with Kamui Billiard Products, Point Of View Pool (POV Pool), Viking Cues, Andrew Park Cues, The Orange County APA, Max Eberle’s ‘Pro Pool Academy’ & Virtual Pool 4 - Hard Times Billiards will hold the first (and last), “End Of The World: 10-Ball Tournament Of The Mayans!”

This one-day, double-elimination tournament is being held in sunny California and is open to only 32 players. With an entry fee of $100, this event will pay out $4000 through 8th place. Also, since the ‘end is near,’ many of the sponsors have agreed to part with over 50 pool prizes and giveaways throughout the tournament. These will range from pool cues, Kamui chalk and tips, cue cases, DVDs, and much more.

So, how did this event come about? One of the organisers, John Bertone, states, “I phoned Daniel Busch of POV Pool just a few days ago and said, ‘Hey, isn’t it supposed to be the end of the world next month on December 21st?’. Within minutes, Daniel and I were on the same page, working out the details, pitching for sponsors and surveying players to see if this should happen. As it turns out, it seems that the ‘end of the world’ is a pretty easy sell. After all, if you’re a pool player, not even the end of times will stop you from doing what you love most, which is playing pool and going out in a blaze of glory!”

Daniel states, “We expect to see great pool by the most talented players from all over! Considering the prize fund and the entry fee, we are only expecting the best of the best to take part, but we are sure that there will be a few surprise entries from players far and wide. After all, it’s supposed to be the LAST chance to get some table time with some of pool’s greatest idols! As soon as we receive our first 16 entries, we will begin to announce them. I would like to thank the owner of Hard Times - Eddie Arreguin, Tournament Director - Marie Lim and House Pro - Dave Hemmah for providing their help and services to make this event take place.”

Live streaming will take place via Pay-Per-View by POV Pool for $9.95 and will run for the duration of the entire event starting at 12PM PST. To purchase PPV tickets for this event, please visit, US Stream TV - Pool.
