After months of regional qualifiers across the country, the Carling Black Label National Pool Championship will culminate in a highly anticipated final on Saturday, August 9, at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) Grounds in Bulawayo.
The championship, which began on May 31 with 31 regional tournaments, has drawn competitors from all corners of Zimbabwe.
A total of 148 players, 74 men and 74 women, have earned their place in the finals, where they will compete for top honours and cash prizes in their respective divisions.
Winners in both categories will walk away with a grand prize of $2,500 and a pool table.
The second- and third-place finishers will receive $1,500 and $1,000, respectively, while fourth place will take home $500.
Organisers describe the event as more than a tournament a celebration of discipline, skill, and a shared love for the game of pool.
With free entry to the public, the championship is expected to draw a large crowd of spectators.
The event will also feature live entertainment from Bulawayo-based DJs Tino, Mateu, and Papito, while The Travellers Band and DJ Nospa are scheduled to perform during the closing ceremony.
The championship is sponsored by Delta Corporation’s Carling Black Label brand. Delta, a major player in Zimbabwe’s beverage industry, operates under licenses from The Coca-Cola Company and also produces local favourites such as Castle, Chibuku, and Zambezi Lager.
