Dick Jaspers, crowned as the Supercup winner of this year.

ANTWERP - The gala in the Hilton Hotel in Antwerp, where two top players duel for the Super Cup and where the Player of the Year is chosen, has been cancelled for this year. Ludo Dielis, who was the organizer for ten years of this event with his team and sponsors, had already announced to quit and couldn't find another organizer. The event was on the UMB calender for 4th of February next year.

The gala was a yearly event on the first Saturday in February: top players were invited to shine in a full house of billiard fans, sponsors and people who are involved with billiards.

Players like Frédéric Caudron, Dick Jaspers, Dani Sánchez, Torbjörn Blomdahl, Eddy Merckx, Semi Sayginer, Marco Zanetti and Ryuuji Umeda have shone many times in the ambiance of topbilliard and entertainment. Dick Jaspers played a masterful match against Dani Sánchez this year and crowned himself as winner of the Supercup.

The gala evening was the yearly meeting of the world champion of the previous year and the overall winner of the World Cup. In addition, the player of the year was elected.

Ludo Dielis: ,,This year I had announced to stop organizing, because I wanted to focus on the World championship in Antwerp in two years. I have said that I would be very happy to tranfer the license to someone else. The gala has been grown to an official event throughout the years with the applications run by the UMB. But unfortunately there is no organizer for his year. We need a time skip and hope that the event will come back on the calendar in 2013.´´
