The 2022 European Open Pool Championship was a nine-ball pool tournament held from 9 to 14 August 2022 in Hotel Esperanto Fulda, Fulda, Germany. It was the inaugural event.[1]

Tournament format

[edit]

Similar to the 2021 U.S. Open Pool Championship and the 2022 UK Open Pool Championship, it will use a double-elimination bracket, with matches held as a race to 9 racks, until the last 16. There will be four loser rounds, with the first three being a race to 8 and the loser qualification being a race to 9. At that point it will become a single-elimination tournament, as a race to 11 racks. The final will be a race to 13 racks.[2]

Prize fund

[edit]

The total prize fund is $200,000 with the winner receiving $30,000.
