The European Open Pool Championship returns to the German town of Fulda from August 8-13, with the second staging of the tournament taking place at the Hotel Esperanto.
Albin Ouschan will be the defending champion in Germany following his 13-11 victory over fellow world champion Shane van Boening last time around.
Germany’s own Joshua Filler, world number one Francisco Sanchez Ruiz and World Pool Masters champion Ko Pin-Yi are also amongst the title favourites.
The double elimination phase will take place from August 8-10, with 64 players then progressing to the single elimination phase which begins on August 11.
It will be race-to-nine racks on the winners’ side and race-to-eight racks on the losers’ side during double elimination, before the format increases to race-to-ten racks for the last 64 through to the quarter-finals.
The semi-finals and final will take place on Sunday, August 13 across two sessions, with the format being race-to-eleven racks for the semi-finals and race-to-thirteen racks for the title decider.
Coverage will be broadcast via the Matchroom YouTube channels and DAZN in the USA throughout the duration, while Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and Sport1 in Germany will show the final two days.
Other international broadcasters will provide coverage depending on the location. A full list of broadcasters can be found on the Matchroom Pool website.
