2021 EBA European Championships
MONDAY 26th APRIL to WEDNESDAY 5th MAY
These are the playing days. As soon as we have the breakdown for Unders, Specials, Mens, Ladies, Overs and Wheelchair we will publish them here.
Obviously this event going ahead is dependent on conditions at the time relating to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
'B' TEAMS NATIONS CUP CANCELLED
Statement from the EBA CommitteeHi all. The 'B' Teams Nations Cup in Killarney hosted by the Irish Blackball Association, due to take place from October 30th to November 5th, has been cancelled due to member Nations voting by a majority at the EBA AGM which was held on 12th July 2020 not to send teams to the event due to the present situation with the Covid 19 global pandemic.
EBA NATIONS CUP OF POOL FOR 'B' TEAMS
The 2020 EBA Nations Cup of Pool for 'B' Teams only is scheduled to take place on the following dates, hosted by the Irish Blackball Association -
Saturday 31st October to Thursday 5th November (6 playing days total)
The venue is the fantastic Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney which previously hosted the 2015 EBA Nations Cup and the 2016 Blackball International World Championship
Players must stay within the Gleneagle complex and book only via the official booking process which will be announced later.
2020 EBA NATIONS CUP CANCELLED
EUROPEAN BLACKBALL
ASSOCIATION
COMMITTEE
STATEMENT ON 2020 NATIONS CUP
Up until this point
the thinking of the EBA Committee has been that it was best for all
if the UK government made a decision that events such as the Nations
Cup would be banned from happening . The reason for this was that we
had received advice that in the case of a government ban there was a
possibility that accommodation, boat fares and flights monies could
be reclaimed. We also have had to consider the possibility of
financial penalties being imposed on the EBA by the SPA if the event
was cancelled by ourselves, rather than by government. We thought
such a statement would have been forthcoming from the government
after the last meeting of their Cobra committee and like many others
we were amazed no such decision was announced.
Obviously we assume
such banning orders will be put in place soon by the government but
due to the uncertainty this policy is creating among our members we
now feel it is time the EBA officially cancelled the event and as a
result will have to accept any consequences of doing so.
We also have
considered the fact that even if the event were to go ahead the
numbers attending due to nations/teams and individual players
deciding not to attend would be of such a low number that the event
itself would no longer hold any credibility.
Finally and
foremost, this decision has been taken with the well being of players
and officials being of paramount importance to the EBA, to carry on
with the event would have been a total neglect of our duty of care
to every player.
We trust you will
understand this decision has been taken with great regret by the
committee, but we would encourage you to support us in that decision.
In regard to the 2020 AGM obviously it is no longer will be feasible
to hold it in Bridlington on the proposed date. A new date and venue
will be circulated when a suitable venue close to an international
airport has been secured. I imagine that the meeting will not take
place now for a few months when hopefully things will be a lot better
Yours in sport
