So, after I came home from the Eurotour in Italy the world pretty much went upside down! After a few days I had to close the pool hall, all sports activities had to stop immediately. All tournaments cancelled and social distancing. You know the drill:)

I am missing the tournaments, but at least I have the possibility to practice. Not all you guys have that and I feel really lucky. This time out has given me the opportunity to get used to my new jumpcue and breakcue, Fury CFX-2 CarbonBreak and Carbon Jump Cue with the same design. Both cues are great, but took some getting used to:) The cues will be in my shop soon and the break cue is also available from Dynamic:)

Now all we can do is to wait for the world to go back to normal. Hopefully the European Championships Youth and Eurotour will go as planned in Petrich, Bulgaria, in July. Our Eurotour stop in St Johann, Austria, is moved to October and the the European Championships Men, Women and Wheelchair that was supposed to be in Tampere, Finland, is moved to Turkey in November and will be held together with Seniors and Ladies. We will also have the Eurotour for both Men and Women after teh EC. The EPBF sportscalendar is full of postponed and moved tournaments, take a look so you know what is going on:

I am also finding time to work on my new webshop. Hopefully I can launch that soon. I will also launch some new brands in the shop, that will be exciting:)

I leave you with one of my favorite episodes of “Your Average Pool Player”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOctfGqCJRc

Vegar Kristiansen tought me this (too) many years ago, I use this one way or the other almost every match. Remember to always check the table!

Thank you for reading and stay healthy:)

The first Eurotour of the year starts today in Treviso. I will arrive friday for the Women’s Eurotour. More information on that will follow:)

EPBF has got new updated websites and from now on all tournament information will be in the same place including livescore. The livestream will still be on kozoom.com! Click on the picture to find the Eurotour information.

From Norway the full team selected for the European Championships in Tampere is attending, Mats Schjetne, Ole Kristian Rudshavn, Emil Andre Ganfløt and Ole Tobias Gangfløt. On top of this we have Albert Stensrød, a promising junior. This means that we have three U19 players and one U23 player in our Norwegian delegation. I can’t wait to see what they can do, the future looks bright!

Good luck everyone!

On my way home from Oslo with a trophy:) I ended yesterday great, pulling myself together to win the looser qualification 6-0. I started really good today also and won the quarterfinals final against Jessika Nilsson (SWE) 6-3, playing really well. Unfortunately it stopped in the semifinals against Louise Furberg (SWE) where I lost 2-6. Louise was stopped by young European 9-ball champion Girls, My Nguyen (SWE). Big congrats My!

Congrats also to Mats Schjetne, Nordic Champion 2020 Mens division!

Thanks for a great weekend and thank you for reading

Today we are playing the Top 8 tournament in my club. Top 8 from the all year clubranking have one last tournament before we close this year:)

We are playing race to 3, best of 3 sets. The winner of the lag choose what discipline should be played, winner of first set decide next discipline and then we play the remaining discipline if we have a decider. Disciplines to choose from is 8-ball, 9-ball and 10-ball, all disciplines can only be played once per match.

Super fun, especially since I have made it to the final:)

Hope you are all having a good billiard weekend out there! Don’t forget that WC 9-ball for both men and women is on these days. I wish all my friends playing the best of luck!

Thanks for reading

Edit: I won:)
