The next two team tournaments in the Royal Pro Home Tour series take place next weekend. The new Austrian MWS location at Georg Schmied in Rosenburg-Mold, which was connected to the worldwide MWS network just a few days ago, joins in. Our network currently comprises 22 locations in 8 countries.
The three cushion competition is played on Saturday (May 22nd), the five pins competition on Sunday (May 23rd). Tournaments and broadcasts start at 10:00am.
In the five pins tournament, the matches are played in double mode over a long distance to 120 points. In this mode, both players from both teams play a match together. The players of a team take turns when the opposing team has scored points or when their own team has committed a foul.
These are the participating teams of the five pins tournament:
- Team MPS - DI Mario Prantl: Ofner, Frank / Riml, Jimmy (Innsbruck, Austria)
- Team Schurli's Base Camp: Efler, Andreas / Schmied, Georg (Rosenburg-Mold, Austria)
- Team Yoshikigoi: Driessen, Ernest / Driessen, Jeroen (Turek, Poland)
The three cushion tournament is played as a Scotch Double team tournament. In this mode, both players from both teams play a match together too. The matches are played in the 3 Points Open End format on 5 winning sets (best of 9 sets), the players of a team take turns after each shot.
These are the participating teams of the three cushion tournament:
