Two tournaments of our new tournament series will take place next weekend. The three cushion competition is played on Saturday (January 16) and the five pins competition on Sunday (January 17). We broadcast both tournaments in full and freely available on our streaming platform. Both tournaments start at 10:00am. You can find all information, results and streams on our dashboard:
With Andreas Efler and Markus Dömer, both winners of the first edition of our new Home Tour series are at the start. Efler won the five pins competition of the Royal Pro New Year's Trophy 2021 on New Year's Day, and Dömer the three cushion tournament the next day. Both players are among the favorites again this time.
The tournaments on January 16/17 will be played in round robin tournament mode with set system match format and at 9 MWS locations in 4 countries: Germany (Berlin, Erlangen, Castrop-Rauxel), Austria (Vienna, Innsbruck with 2 locations, Hinterbrühl), Poland (Turek) and Denmark (Store Heddinge). 8 players take part in the three cushion tournament, 4 participants have registered for the five pins tournament: Kim Bengtsson (3C), Markus Dömer (3C), Jeroen Driessen (5P), Andreas Efler (3C and 5P), Zoran Gajs (3C), Sergio Parasiliti (5P), Jimmy Riml (3C and 5P), Lukas Stamm (3C), Tay-Dien Truong (3C) as well as Pirmin Volger (3C).
The tournaments are played via the MWS system. This allows players to take part in the tournaments at their home locations / from home without having to travel to a tournament venue. In addition, the final tournaments of our new Home Tour series are currently limited to 1 participant per location, so that, for known reasons, each participant can play alone at their own table.
