SILVER SPRING, MD and MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, January 30, 2003 - Falcon Cues Ltd. today signed a title sponsorship deal with Planet Pool Promotions for the 2003 season, for what has until now been known as the Planet Pool 9 Ball Tour. The tour, which is now in its fourth year, will henceforth be known as the Falcon Cue 9 Ball Tour, and will feature 20 events this year.
"We're very excited about the deal," said Mike Ricciardella, Planet Pool proprietor and president. "Planet Pool has been long overdue for title sponsorship, and Falcon is the ideal sponsor for helping us achieve our tour's objectives. We are very happy to bring them on, and we look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship with them."
The tour has been based primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region, with regular tour stops from Baltimore, MD to as far south as Norfolk, VA, but is set to expand to other US regions soon. The tour events consist of both Open events and Women's events, and is currently the only of its kind in the US.
