Jun 11, 2012

MATCHROOM SPORT is pleased to announce that Diamond Billiard Products will be the Official Table Supplier to all Matchroom pool events in 2012. Following their debut at the 2011 Mosconi Cup, Diamond will now provide their top-of-the-range tables for the World Cup of Pool, World Pool Masters and of the course, the Mosconi Cup.
Founded in 1987, Diamond is highly regarded both in the United States and around the world and is the Official Table of major events such as the US Open, the Derby City Classic, US Open One-Pocket Championship, US Open 10-Ball Championship as well as all WPBA events. In addition it is the popular choice among tournament players across the United States.
Diamond tables will make their 2012 Matchroom debut at the PartyPoker.net World Cup of Pool which takes place at Robinsons Place in Manila, Philippines from 4th to 9th September. From there the next event is the long-running PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters which runs over the weekend of 5th, 6th & 7th October.
Finally, the action moves to the historic York Hall in London’s Bethnal Green for the 19th annual Mosconi Cup as two five man teams representing USA and Europe do battle from 10th to 13th December.
Chad Scharlow, Vice President of Diamond Billiard Products Inc. commented, “Diamond Billiard Products are very excited to be once again working with Matchroom Sport to supply Diamond pool tables to not only the Mosconi Cup event but also to the World Pool Masters and World Cup of Pool events.
“This is an exciting time in pool as international acceptance of American pool increases, the demand for high quality television coverage of these pool tournaments increases. Couple that with today’s hottest professional pool players and that is a match made for a Diamond table.
“The Diamond brand is very strong in the US market and it is time to expose this world calibre pool table to international markets and Matchroom Sport provides the perfect platform for Diamond to truly build international branding,” he added.
Matchroom Sport Chairman Barry Hearn said, “We’re very pleased to be once again working with Diamond Billiard products following the success of the Mosconi Cup last year. Diamond is without doubt the No.1 brand in the USA and Matchroom is delighted to be working with them and helping them spread the word to all corners of the globe.”
