The Dynamic Austrian Open 2012 will begin next week on Thursday, May 31st, 2012. The Austrian Open will be the third stop of this year’s Euro-Tour series.
A total of over 170 players have already announced their participation in the event, 31 of them are local Austrian players. Among the strong Austrian contingency are Jasmin and Albin Ouschan. Albin has won the first tournament of this year’s Euro-Tour in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina.
A total amount of 34.000,-€ are on the line for the top 48 finishers of the tournament.
Also remarkable is the fact that six female players have announced for the event. The EPBF has launched its European Women Rankings this year, and all European Championships, the Ardennes Cup, separate tournaments in Sweden, Italy and Germany come into the account for ranking points. The Dynamic Austria Open does not count into the women’s ranking but is still interesting for top female players to compete on a high quality level.
Matches will begin in the Alpina Hotel in Alpendorf, St. Johann, Austria, on Thursday, May 31st, at 09:00 CET. Spectators are welcome. The admission is free.
The event will be hosted by the European Governing Body for Pool, the European Pocket Billiard Federation (EPBF) and organized by International Billiard Promotion (IBP).
