The President of the EBSA, Jim Leacy has officially announced the adoption of the new IBSF templates.

This decision means that now all the competitions organised by the EBSA will offer to the European players exactly the same pocket openings as those used by the IBSF for all of their World Billiards and Snooker Championships.

This is a major step forward in the interest of harmonising our sport and the IBSF welcomes this initiative, which I hope will be followed by all other regions!"
