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?
View Tour DatesFive rounds. One winner. £500 on the line. Here's how each episode plays out.
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.
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.
This is where the real skill shows. Players must demonstrate their potting ability with a series of increasingly difficult shots. More eliminations follow.
Precision and positioning under pressure. Players are tested on their cue ball control — and this round narrows the field down to the final two.
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.
Five venues. Five episodes. Five chances to prove you're the best pool player in the room.
We're planning venues for the series now. If you want your pool hall to be considered, apply below.
Thanks for applying. We'll be in touch when Season 2 venues are being confirmed.
Once the main event wraps up, I stay for 2 hours playing locals in casual frames of pool — all filmed and posted across YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and all short-form platforms. Every venue on the tour receives dedicated content reaching millions of viewers.
Contact your nearest venue above to enter. £20 entry. £500 prize. One winner per episode. Don't miss your shot.
