Billiards: Malta Eight Ball Federation streams tournaments live online

The Malta Eight Ball Federation for the first time in Malta streamed the Open Category final live online.

For this pilot project the most prestigious games will be streamed, giving coverage to a global audience on a unique scale. This project will be increased in the future. Fans were able to view the on-line streaming free of charge. This will give great access to fans of the game to watch live matches. Our target is to extend this project to international events when the Maltese teams are abroad participating in the most prominent eight ball tournaments.

The final games of the Third Ranking Tournament (BLACK BALL) were played on Friday 28th February 2014.

In the Open category Philip Ciantar defeated Mario Brincat 10-8.

Owen Amato defeated Darren Schembri 10-4 in the under 23’s category. Brian Cini defeated Miguel Amato 8-2 in the under 18 category.

Roberta Cutajar was in top form when she defeated Vanessa Tedesco  6-1 in the women’s final game. The over 40 category was won by Jesmond Schembri when he defeated Neville Cassar 8-0.

110 players booked their place to form part of the Fourth Ranking Tournament. These ranking tournaments will determine who will represent the Malta Eight Ball Federation (BLACK BALL) during the European open which will be held in Bridlington next April.
