Following a successful season opener in Gdańsk, the 2026 Polish Billiard Grand Prix returns this weekend, February 14-15, as the Predator Pol Tour arrives in Łódź. The event has already achieved a major milestone, setting a new registration record for the series.
Another Record-Breaking Event
The second tournament of the year has officially registered 191 athletes, surpassing the previous record of 174 players set during the recent event at Gdańsk’s Strefa Diamond. This surge in participation highlights the growing momentum of professional billiards within Poland and the international circuit.
The previous tournament in Gdańsk saw Konrad Juszczyszyn (Royal Bytom) secure his first-ever Pol Tour victory after defeating Mariusz Skoneczny (Fortis Bilard Kielce) in a highly competitive final. Despite Juszczyszyn’s extensive list of national and international accolades, the win marked a significant personal milestone in his career.
