With the EPBF’s Euro Tour series entering its 31st year, it is the longest running 9-ball pool tour in the world. Having already paid out several millions in prize money over the years, the Euro Tour has increased the prize fund for 2022 from 228,000 Euro to 270,000 over the six tour stops. The winners at each event will now trouser €6,000 as their reward while beaten semi-finalists will pick up a cool €3,000 euros.
EPBF President Gre Leenders said, “With the launch of the Live TV Project, the step to increasing the prize money is a logical one. We try to increase the value of the Euro Tour every year and it says enough that the Euro Tour is entering its 31st year.
“The cooperation with Matchroom Multi Sport will also give the EuroTour an extra boost so that the prestige of the Euro Tour will increase even more.”
With the live broadcast of the Euro Tour semis and finals scheduled in 2022, it is another indication of where the Tour is heading and to launch the new era, a new Tour logo has been designed and implemented.
David Morris, IBPF President said, “The old logo had stood the test of time, and it really was a great logo. We didn’t want to lose the identity of the old logo which was tricky, but we found a great young designer in Croatia who provided us with a fresh new update, keeping the old at heart. I’m very pleased with the result and hopefully the players and fans will like it too.”
The 2022 EuroTour season gets underway with the Dynamic Billard Lasko Open in Slovenia from February 25-28 and registration is open for all participants at www.epbf.com

由歐洲撞球協會 (EPBF) 所運行的歐巡賽 (Euro Tour) 在今年邁入第31個年頭，2022年六站賽事的總獎金將從22萬8仟歐元增加到27萬歐元，每站賽事的獲勝者將收穫6仟歐元的獎金，而晉入半決賽的選手則獲得3仟歐元將金。
EPBF 主席 Gre Leenders 說道: ” 隨著電視直播項目的啟動，獎金的增加也是合理的。我們每年都努力地提高歐巡賽的價值，與 Matchroom 的合作也將為歐巡賽帶來額外的助力，讓其聲望更上一層樓。而隨著今年歐巡賽的半決賽與決賽將於電視直播，這也代表著歐巡賽又向前邁進的標誌，為開啟新時代設計並實施了歐巡賽的新 logo。”
IBPF 主席 David Morris 則說道。”舊logo經得起時間的考驗，它是一個很棒的logo。對我們來說棘手的是我們不想失去舊logo的識別性，我們在克羅埃西亞找到一位很棒的年輕設計師，他將舊logo融入為我們提供了一個全新的logo，我很滿意結果，希望球員和球迷也會喜歡。”
