Golden Cup 

Ermal Dyli (Albania) won the Golden Cup - Vlore 2025, defeating Mariusz Skoneczny (POL) 7-4 in the final. The match was of a high standard, and the jump shot that paved the way for the Albanian to the gold medal was one of the most beautiful shots I've seen in my 30 years of billiards. Bronze medals were won by Milan Mrva of Slovakia and Edmond Zaja of Albania.

Last weekend, the 22nd Gdańsk edition of the Polish Grand Prix Brześć Słomka Ptysiowa POL TOUR series took place. This competition has a long tradition dating back to 1998. This time, the confrontation of the country's top billiard players took place at the Green Club Gdańsk.

121 participants signed up for the June Grand Prix, including the country's top players. Once again, interest in the tournament exceeded the organizers' expectations. "I must admit that I did a lot of head-scratching to get as many people on the starting list as possible," admits Marcin Krzemiński, the organizer of the series.

During the official opening of the event, special thanks were given to Leszek Pieśniak, owner of the Green Club Gdańsk, for the joint organization of the competition.

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.
