PLAYING HANDICAP:
The newly named Irelands Pool Players 8-Ball Pool Tour will see a new HANDICAP SYSTEM introduced for all tournaments in 2010 including these Co. Monaghan championships with each and every player receiving a playing handicap for all events they compete in throughout the year.

The idea of handicapping all tournaments played on the newly named Irelands Pool Players 8-Ball Pool Tour is to introduce a even and level playing field for all players that enters and not to give any particular player or players an advantage.

The new playing handicapping system will also see all the top players having to work a lot harder to win any of these tour events.for entries and further information contact 07917887147 or from Rep of Ireland (0044) 7917887147.
