Up next  at Tailgators is the Eastern Canadian Barbox Championships in November. As some of you know there is plans in the works to do a high entry 8 ball bar box event. The plan is to do this at the same time as the Eastern Canadians. Here are some of the details so far, keep in mind we are still in the feeling out process so these can change. 

The idea so far is to have a $1000 entry 8 player field with $2000 added. However with the amount of interest it is likely the field will be pushed to 16 and potentially more added money. Names such as Alain Martel, Erik Hjorleifson, Jason Klatt and Francis Crevier have already showed serious interest so far. We have been getting inquiries from around the world so we need players who are serious to confirm as soon as possible, contact Markus Noé or Curtis Houlden through Facebook, you can also go through the Cue Sport Nation page. 

Currently the last weekend in November looks like the appropriate date as there is a Falcon Tour Stop November 19-20 in Gatineau and TJ Martin's East Coast Canadian 9 Ball Open $35,000 added event November 7-12. Once again the earlier we get confirmations the more time we have to get added money and make the best event possible.
