Summing up, we should consider 2010 year as a good one. I’m glad, players from Slovakia and Belarus came back to the series.
The biggest stars in the series of 2010 were: Konstantin Stiepanov – European Champion, Sandor Tot – former European Champion and medalists of EC: Radosław Babica, Tomasz Kapłan, Artiom Koshevoy, Mariusz Roter. However, I’m very glad that a lot of middle class and young players took part in the event. So, promotion of billiard sport is the main purpose of the Best of the East. As you can see, from numbers, this purpose has been achieved.
Main sponsors were: Dynamic Billard Organization from Germany, Iwan Simonis and Saluc from Belgium and International Billiard Promotion from the Netherlands.
The tournament was sanction by the European Pocket Billiard Federation. Mak Marketing from Kielce was an owner and organizer of the series.
