Ultimate Pool and the English Pool Association are delighted to announce that the Ultimate Pool Rasson Apollo will be the official table of the EPA for all national events.
This collaboration marks a new era for English 8 Ball Pool and underlines the commitment of Ultimate Pool and the EPA to continue to help shape an upward trajectory for the sport.
Ultimate Pool Managing Director, Jordan Chavoush said: "We couldn't be happier to support the EPA by supplying our incredible new Rasson Apollo to all EPA events next year."
"This deal underlines our commitment to support the EPA and their development of grassroots pool."
"Improving the playing conditions for everyone in our expanding community is at the very core of our business ethos."
"We celebrate the EPA and their ability to continually develop the next big stars in our sport whilst continuing to support all tiers of the game."
This partnership will begin in 2025 and will help deliver the best possible playing environment for everyone involved with the EPA.
EPA Chair, Barbara Taylor said: "As part of the growing collaboration between the EPA and Ultimate Pool we are really excited to announce that we will be using the new Rasson tables at our new home at Richardsons, Hemsby for all EPA national events from 2025.
"The progression in pool in the last 4 years has been astronomical and using the Rasson tables continues this trajectory which the players rightly deserve."
Ultimate Pool is committed to improving the playing environment for everyone in the 8 Ball community and the Rasson Apollo being delivered to all tiers of the EPA is a massive step for the sport.

EPRA International Rules Exams at Pakefield
The EPRA are offering to run the latest International Rules refereeing exams at the November Champion of Champions weekend (14th - 17th Nov) at Pakefield.
The events will be organised by Tony Coe, EPRA Examinations Secretary. They will include some very brief instructions and the exam. The exam allowed time is 90 minutes and is all multiple-choice questions.
The cost is £20 per person or £10 if you are resitting after being unsuccessful previously (we know who you are).
Timings will be flexible and will be confirmed much nearer the time, but we need to first gauge interest and then see what we can organise around people needing to play in matches either as individuals or with their teams etc.
