The Linares football table has proved a hit with grown ups. The luxurious solid oak cabinet and handpainted metal players make it a step above the usual football tables on offer. But the key to its success has been the fast moving game and noisy action delivered by 'Futbolin'. This Iberian style table features a sloping playfield for a constantly moving ball, two footed platers for greater control, and a larger footprint to accommodate boisterous play!

Now the excitement of Linares is available for the younger player. Telescopic rods and shorter legs make the table accessible to kids anxious to play a real game of table footie but who can't find a stool to stand on!

Great fun to play, and great earning potential in the children's play centre and family pub markets. A robust yet beautiful table with high revenue. What you expect from a SAM table.

The Finals weekend drew to a close on Sunday Afternoon and weary pool players from across the nation headed home some nursing trophies and cheques, some sore heads! A thoroughly enjoyable weekend of pool was had by all, with pool of the highest standard played in the spirit of true sportsmanship. 

The BAPTO £11,000 prize fund was, as always, distributed well down the table to reward as many players as possible. The 2011 Team Champions are ‘Normans Snooker’ from Manchester who pipped ‘Fingers & Four Thumbs’ from Wisbech in the final. The Plate winners were ‘Team Europe’ from Leicestershire with Potaholics of Powys Runners up. In the Mixed Doubles, Scotland’s Andy & Shona Lucas edged out David Atherley & Kerry Griffiths from Nottingham 3 frames to two.

In the Singles events, Shane Thompson was imperious conceding only 2 frames in his last 3 matches to lift the trophy ahead of Sammy Donaldson. The Ladies event, with yet another increase in numbers this year, was won by Shona Lucas, Kim Carney from Basildon was runner up.

The geographical spread of the winners proves the continuing appeal of pub pool with team and singles entries this year from every corner of Britain. The state of the economy had lead to fears of reduced entries in 2011 but BAPTO were rewarded for their hard work in promoting Pool with numbers on a par with last year and universal praise from players for the quality of the event.

The 35th Annual BAPTO Amateur Blackball Pool Challenge Weekend 2011 kicked off officially on Friday morning this week, although players had begun arriving at Lyons Robin Hood Holiday Park in Rhyl the previous afternoon  and much pool had already been played before the competition proper began.

More than 550 players and guests are attending the event representing the 81 registered teams and have filled the camp accommodation. The BAPTO is the UK's longest running pool championship and is firmly aimed at the grass roots players that compete and enjoy their pool in pubs and clubs across the UK.

Each year since BAPTO moved to Rhyl, Lyons Robin Hood have improved the camp facilities and this year a newly built sports bar with nightly entertainment has proved popular with the players. New for the event has been a 14:1 competition with funds raised being donated to this year's chosen charity, Help for Heroes.

The competition is being played on SAM Atlantic pool tables, this year in a new, limited edition,  exclusive cabinet design. Look out for the SAM Atlantic Champion BAPTO Edition in stunning Silver finish. Only very few of these tables will ever be available to the general public.

The Atlantic Champion Pool Table is the finest contemporary professional English pool table available. It features the finest slate playing surface, a cabinet constructed in marine ply veneered with a high impact, mar and burn resistant laminate and strikingly contemporary but robust legs with easy level feet. The Atlantic's professional secret is its aluminium extruded top rail and unique "ProActive" cushion system which provides the most accurate and consistent ball response possible. As well as delivering the unparalleled playing performance, this system makes reclothing easier and prevents any possibility of cushions being fitted incorrectly.

News of the competition winners and all final results will be posted after the event closes on Sunday 11th September.
