About Golden 8 Ball Tournament

Known as 'The Prestigious Blackball Weekend', Golden 8 Ball is held over two two consecutive weekends in June, attracting over 250 teams and 1, 000 players.

Golden 8 Ball Tournament Description

The Golden 8 Ball is a very popular annual pool festival, held over two consecutive weekends in June, for players of all abilities - from pub amateurs to league teams, county players, international players, professionals and even world champions. Teams travel from all over to attend this event, including France, Spain and Malta!

Played to Blackball rules, this event is open to all players and teams, with few restrictions and no involvement with any pool associations or tiresome pool politics. We welcome all players and totally condone the banning of players based on the events they attend!

The Norbreck Castle arguably provides one the best playing arenas in the UK – and Blackpool is certainly a hot favourite location for players, with plenty of alternative entertainment options when not playing pool.

We will be installing 42 Sam Atlantic tables, all covered in the fastest playing Hainsworth Precision cloth, and graced by the new Super Aramith Pro tournament edition balls, giving the ultimate playing experience.

With an attractive prize fund of over £28, 500, minimum 50 frames of pool per team and Blackpool attractions, players can make a real weekend of it!

The action gets underway on Thursday with the final expected to conclude Sunday afternoon. See website for full details - www. golden8ball. co. uk
