メンバー入れ替え戦、キングオブザヒルなど、
ビッグイベント目白押しだった年内のスケジュールが全て”変更”になり、
来年２~３月、シカゴでの開催を検討中・・・
というニュースが。

香港のｵﾝﾗｲﾝｶｼﾞﾉに、IPTの権利の一部を売るという形で
資金獲得に動いていたのが、
ブッシュ（またおまえかー！わたし、かなりのアンチ･ブッシュ。）のｵﾝﾗｲﾝｶｼﾞﾉを規制する法案で難航している・・・でも、今週あけには明るいニュースを発表できます、シャンペンを開けて祝えます！ってコメントしてたのに・・・。

２００７年のメンバー最低賞金を１０万ドルと保証、
その権利獲得を求めて、

日本の選手も、厳しい国内予選を勝ち抜いたり、海を渡ってまで、入れ替え戦の権利を勝ち取ってきたのに・・・！

どうか、がんばって、トルドーさん！！！
持ちこたえて、IPT!!!

もしくは、世界中のリッチなビリヤードマニアさんたち！

なんとか、この新しい波を、みんなの”がっかり”で終わらせないで！！！

来年の２月、３月、シャンパンを開けて祝う日が来ますように！！！

IPT Announcement

The International Pool Tour's Masters Championship, King of the Hill and Tour Card Tournaments are officially being rescheduled. These schedule changes are due to many factors, many relating to the Ho Interactive acquisition and financing schedule being pushed back due to recent legislation signed into law relating to online gaming. New dates for these events will be published in the coming days as the IPT event team is in contact with each of the venues. Tentatively, the IPT is targeting February and March for these tournaments and they will most likely be held in Chicago.

The IPT offers its sincerest apologies for those players and fans who have already made travel arrangements to attend these events. Players who have played in qualification tournaments and won qualifying spots in the 2007 Tour Card Tournament will be contacted shortly with the new dates. Again, the IPT apologizes for the inconvenience. Due to the fact that the IPT Masters Championship needs to be played in order to complete the field for the Tour Card Tournament, it was impossible to keep this event scheduled as-is.

Please note that these events are not cancelled, but rather in the process of being rescheduled. The moment that new dates are secured, there will be an announcement made. It is expected that within a couple of days new dates will be secured for each of these events. The Masters Championship will still be considered a 2006 event, thus prize earnings in that tournament will be reflected on the Money List for 2006.
