卡特博客：EPTC退赛为子庆生 power snooker好玩

Snookerzone

      自从我从格拉斯哥世界公开赛回来后，我反而比任何时候都要忙碌！

　　本来计划要去比利时的布鲁日的，但是家里实在太忙了，儿子一周岁的生日，我不得不退出了比利时之旅。

　　我现在期待着谢菲尔德的下两站PTC球员巡回赛，因为世锦赛举办地克鲁斯堡在谢菲尔德的关系，每次去谢菲尔德总是非常开心和期待。

　　我自己的俱乐部刚刚装了星牌的球桌，真是开心极了，新球桌新桌布感觉就象买了一个新汽车，但我也知道，在新球桌上打的时间愈多，就变成旧的了，希望我能够每周都更换新桌布，因为更换新球桌，我的球房增加了不少来打球的客人。

　　周二前去伦敦参加了Power Snooker，感觉挺好玩的，我们一起学习了新规则，对我而言，赢得Power Snooker的比赛，最重要的是在半小时内打进更多的球！Power Snooker的比赛现场，和普通的台球比赛不同，有很多美女，而且主办方还问我是否有一些名人的朋友也可以带进比赛现场，名人朋友不多，倒时平时玩的好伙伴有不少，想必到时的现场气氛会相当不错！

　　Well since my return from Glasgow my feet feel like they haven’t really hit the ground! As Mr Snookerbacker himself commented, I was unable to clear for take-off for the Bruges EPTC. Unfortunately a few things came up at home and I reluctantly had to submit my withdrawal.

　　I’m looking forward to the next two PTC events in Sheffield though. Traditionally, when we head up the road north it’s on the annual pilgrimage for the World Championships. It does feel kind of odd going up for any other reason but I’m looking forward to getting back up there this weekend and getting stuck into the tournament.

　　I’ve had my new Star table fitted in the club and I’m delighted with it. When you get a brand new table and a new cloth etc it’s rather like getting a new car. The minute you drive it out of the showroom it’s never new again, if you know what I mean! and of course I can’t reasonably replace the cloth every week. It’s great to have it in the club though and it’s certainly attracted a lot of interest from the members – a lot of whom would not have had the chance to see a match table up close or pot a ball on one.

　　Attended the Power Snooker launch on Tuesday in London and that was a lot of fun. We learned the rules and had an opportunity to have a few games. We got given a set of balls to practice with so I’ll be spending a bit of time trying to work out a strategy. However, essentially, I guess it comes down to the same old thing – as JV would say – ‘pot as many balls as you can!’ There were some rather attractive ladies present at the event and I feel that the main event is going to be a real glitz and glam affair!
