The Euro Tour is a series of professional pool events set around Europe, founded in 1992, and created by the European Pocket Billiard Federation. The Tour's first event was the Belgium Open, held on May 29 – 31, 1992.[1] The event was won by Mika Immonen.[2]
The Tour offers events of different disciplines (8-Ball, 9-Ball, 10-Ball, Straight pool, and team events), and for different age and ability ranges, with events for men, women, juniors and wheelchair players.[3] Events are often prefixed with Dynamic, or known as the Diamond Nine tour.[4]
As of 2019, the Euro Tour has hosted 158 tournaments, hosting between 5 and 10 events per year.[5] The event has an official rankings list; with the rankings being used towards qualification for events such as the WPA World Nine-ball Championship, World Cup of Pool, or the Mosconi Cup.[6] Rankings are based on the previous 7 tournament results, with the lowest score being discounted.[6]
