Due to the financial situation, the organizer of Ankara Open, originally scheduled to be conducted on 18-26 September 2010, has decided to cancel the tournament in 2010 and additionally decided not to continue the tournament in the coming years.
Since the cancellation happens in due time, we do not expect any players to be damaged financially because of non refundable flight tickets, just like all fees to ETBF has been paid, for which reasons the organizer is withdrawing the tournament from the tour with all demands well taken care of.
Due to a late scheduled reconstruction of the centre in Rome, the organizer of the 1st Torneo Internazionale di Roma, has requested and received permission to move the tournament from its original dates, 11-19 September 2010, to its new period of 6-14 November 2010.
EBT 2010 Austria Challenge cancelled / EBT Masters 2010 rescheduled
We have unfortunately received information from the organizer of the 1st Austria Challenge, originally scheduled to be conducted on 28 April - 2 May 2010 in Vienna, Austria, that the tournament is cancelled as a consequence of too few entries booked.
Furthermore, by the cancellation of the 1st Austria Challenge, the reason for conducting the 3rd EBT Masters 2010 in Vienna late April / early May is no longer existing, so the ETBF Presidium have decided to move the Masters to Aalborg, where it will be conducted on 31 May and 1 June, which is just after the conclusion of Bowltech Aalborg International 2010.
The organizer of the 1st Austria Challenge have promised and underlined, that all full or partly non refundable flight tickets, lost as a consequence of the cancelled tournament, the moved Masters or both, WILL be refunded by the organizer.
