Ultimate Pool Group CEO Lee Kendall said: “We are delighted to announce the inaugural Ultimate Pool Amateur Championship later this month.
We have been inundated with messages about, and requests to join the Challenger Series after our coverage last weekend, so with the support of FreeSports we look forward to holding our first amateur-only television event.
This is a considerable opportunity for aspiring players to test themselves and possibly get on live television competing for a big title and prize money.”
Please note, should the planned 64-player capacity be reached/exceeded, the Ultimate Pool Group may expand entry numbers for the event.
