The weekend of the 07-09 December 2012 sees 49 teams and around 170 university nine-ball players from 23 universities arrive in Liverpool to battle it out for the UPC Nine-ball Pool Team and Individual Championships. This event has grown dramatically in the last nine years since its inception, indeed it continues to boast the title of the biggest annual nine-ball pool event in the UK, and will be played across two fantastic Riley’s venues – Grand Central and Wavertree – for the last time before the event moves to use the excellent GB 9 Ball Tour facilities at the Park Inn, Telford in 2013. The team event will continue to use the Championship/Trophy format, with the bonus of a ‘second chance’ that double elimination offers, in deciding group placings, whereas the individual championship event will feature a random redraw from each round from the last 32 to intensify the drama as the competition draws to a conclusion.
