SAM tables chosen for 8 Ball tournaments

SAM Leisure are delighted to confirm table supply to the Golden 8 Ball tournament and the BAPTO National Finals for the foreseeable future. Organisers or the event have purchased 32 brand new SAM Atlantic tables to mark the return of BAPTO to Blackpool in 2014. “We see this as a resounding vote of confidence in SAM pool tables from major figures in the UK pool industry” was SAM Leisure’s MD Gary Drage’s reaction. The BAPTO Finals Weekend is the UK’s premier amateur event and been held annually for almost 40 years. The Golden 8 Ball has in recent years cemented itself on the pool calendar as the summer tournament for skilled pub players, very much in the same vein as the BAPTO Autumn model. Genuine grass roots players that enjoy their pool in pubs and clubs across the nation, week in and week out. Michael Dicks, BAPTO Chairman, commented “BAPTO have used Sam Tables for 15 years and are delighted to confirm that the SAM Atlantic, which we believe to be the best quality table on the market currently available, will be used at our Annual ‘Grand Finals’ weekend as we return to Blackpool with this long established event now in its 38th year”. “BAPTO have been very happy with the way SAM tables have performed at their events while Golden 8 Ball has been held on a variety of models. For these two champions of the sport to now choose SAM tables and commit to them in this major way is testament to the outstanding quality, reliability and consistency SAM tables deliver to the player and tournament organisers” Drage continued. “SAM are possibly best known for supplying high earning fun machines into the Bowling and FEC sector. But novelty can wear off. It’s only by building tables to professional standards that foster loyalty and repeat play to acquire skill, that table games can endure. It’s no coincidence that SAM tables have and are used in professional tournaments Internationally in American pool, English pool, and table football”.
