Pool
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Pool is a very popular game on an international level. Its story begins in the
realms of the centuries; It became quite popular between the
aristocrats after the 16th century, since only they had the financial
power to acquire the game’s very expensive tables.
Today we regard it as a recognised public sport, since it
no longer encompasses class distinctions. Throughout
the world,
millions of people take interest in it, with international
federations, world and national championships.
In Greece, however, pool was not regarded highly for many
years; it was regarded as a time waster’s game. It was
only allowed
in clubs and entry was not permitted to those aged under
18. But this is only how things used to be; The increasing
interest
in the game from the public empowered it and today Greece
has remarkable pool clubs and a federation. What is outstanding
is that the Greek players are amongst the best internationally
and
bring us success on a personal as well as an international
level. Greek pool has a bright present and, judging by this,
an even
brighter future.
