Another tournament from the Dynamic Billard Best of the East series has become history. Last weekend, 88 athletes competed in the Georgian Ajara Cup 9-ball, which was organized there in cooperation with Mak Marketing and the East European Billiard Council. In the 3-day competition, the medalists were Poles and Slovaks.

Representatives from 10 countries signed up to participate in the tournament. Of course, the host team was the most numerous in Batumi, but it is worth noting that there was also a 13-person group from Azerbaijan and a 12-person team from Poland. In addition, Czechs, Turks, Belarusians, and Slovaks also showed up at the start. There was also a representative of China, Iran, and Northern Cyprus. 

The first two days were the group stage games. Participants in 22 groups played in a round robin system, and only the first two places were awarded with promotion to the knockout zone.

The play-off phase was held on Sunday. The semi-finals were decided between the Slovaks (Jakub Koniar – Köles Balazs) and the Poles (Dominik Jastrząb – Mariusz Skoneczny). Koniar beat Balazs 7:3, while Skoneczny won against Jastrząb 7:5. In the final stretch, Skoneczny beat Koniar 7:5 and he won all the main prizes, i.e. 1200 euros plus a Cuetec cue worth 750 euros.
