Pool National Open Grand Finale, Stiff Competition Expected

“It is going to be the biggest event that we have had since this event started off being sponsored by Nile Breweries. We expect at least 1,000 at a minimum of fans to be in the Arena supporting their various players. And in terms of the players; the prize at stake for the top player on the day is going to be worth 40 million shillings, they will a car valued at about 30 million, a pool table and about 5 million in cash. So the second person in the final is going to get prizes that’s for the loser worthy 11 million shillings. And we will have prizes right up to the sixteenth person and we believe that this is going to be the most competitive final that we have had yet.

Because a number of these players would want to be the one to be crowned the National Champion and walks away with 40 million worth of prizes. So tomorrow, we will be starting at exactly 8 am in the morning and we should be done by 11 am. And we are just trying to make sure that we get all the preparations done before that.” Said, Bob Trubish – President Pool Association of Uganda.
