Finding The Best
Pool Player
In The World

A YouTube series by Ayd The Apprentice. I travel to pool halls across the UK, set up a live tournament at each venue, and find out who the best pool player in the room is. Each pool hall is a different episode. Think you've got what it takes?

How The Tournament Works

Five rounds. One winner. £500 on the line. Here's how each episode plays out.

1

Beat The Apprentice

All 30 players go head-to-head with me in one frame of pool each. Beat me and you go through to the next round. Lose to me and you're out. Simple as that.

2

Speed Test

The survivors are tested on how fast they can pot balls under pressure. The clock is ticking. A set number of players are eliminated based on their times.

3

Shot Making Test

This is where the real skill shows. Players must demonstrate their potting ability with a series of increasingly difficult shots. More eliminations follow.

4

Cue Ball Control Test

Precision and positioning under pressure. Players are tested on their cue ball control — and this round narrows the field down to the final two.

5

The Final

The last two players standing go head-to-head in a single frame of pool. Everything on the line. The winner takes home the £500 cash prize and wins the episode.

UK Tour Dates

Five venues. Five episodes. Five chances to prove you're the best pool player in the room.
