CEB Board takes this opportunity to express the deepest condolences to the Turkish people and to the Turkish Billiard Federation for the catastrophic eartquake that hit the region. We are very saddened and we express our solidarity to all the people involved in this tragic event. The region affected lies about 700 km east from Antalya and two months are yet to pass before the ECs. At this moment we don't have any information that would impact on the regular conduction of the European Championships.
Antalya European Championships: The large majority and the main ECs that will take place in Antalya have been fully registered, some of them are largely overbooked. Only in few of the championships we did not reach the maximum number of registrations, this is specially true for small tables competitions. For this reason we are forced to change some formats, the time table will be updated accordingly without changing the scheduled start and end of each competition; here below the new formats:
- European Championship Individual 3C ST: 27 participants- 3 groups of 5 and 3 groups of 4, 6 group winners and 2 best seconds will advance to quarter finals. The selection of the best seconds qualified to quarter finals will be made according to the general average. Match points will not be used for the general classifications.
- European Championship Clubs 3C ST: 17 participants- 1 group of 5 and 3 groups of 4, first two of each group will advance to quarter finals. Match points and set points will not be used for the quarter finals entry ranking and for the general classifications. In quarter finals group winners will be number 1-4 and group seconds will be number 5-8, listed according to the team general average.
- European Championship 3C Ladies National Teams: 10 teams participants- 1 group of 4 and 2 groups of 3, 3 group winners and the best second will advance to semi finals. The selection of the best second qualified to semi finals will be made according to the team general average. Match points and set points will not be used for the semi finals entry ranking and for the general classifications. In semi finals group winners will be number 1-3 and the best second qualified will be number 4. Semi finals will be played 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3.
- European Championship Free Game Ladies: this championship is canceled. The minimum required of 8 registrations from 5 federations was not reached.

After recent discussions with the hotel management it has been possible to achieve improvements. There are now two options for players:

This arrangements could also be achieved for spectators from outside the hotel complex. Free entry to the EC's for spectators is included in the daily fees.
No parking fees will be charged.
For accreditation, it was achieved that players have 1 hour to get accredited without paying the 50 €. However, the hotel has pointed out that this will be controlled.
