Former table mechanic to the World Professional Snooker circuit Ray Ebbs (R.C.E Snooker Services) will be joining the IPA’s team for 2012.

“This appointment further highlights our commitment to the players.” said Morray Dolan, Vice Chairman of the IPA. “I’m delighted that we’ve secured the services of an expert such as Ray and I can’t wait for the first tour event on March 16th. Providing players with the best possible support during the event is important to the committee and we hope that the players as enthused about Blackpool as we are.”

Ray brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience and will be onsite throughout each weekend championship event to make any necessary adjustments.
