Tournament Wristbands

Everything you need to know about tournament wristbands.

This event requires wristbands.

All players and guests must have a weekend tournament wristband to gain access to the event.  Wristbands must be worn at all times in the arena and no player or spectator will be allowed access without a wristband. Player weekend wristbands cost £70 each, but these are free for those that book the pool accommodation package with the Norbreck.

Booking the pool accommodation package.

All players and guests who book the Golden 8 Ball pool accommodation package with the Norbreck Castle Hotel, will receive free wristbands as part of their accommodation package – worth £70 each.

Players can only book the pool accommodation package, once they have registered their team and been accepted by the tournament committee. Once accepted, team manager will be emailed, and must call Britannia Hotels Central Reservations, to book their pool accommodation package, quoting the accommodation reference code in the email. 

Important notice

Guests that book directly with the Norbreck hotel or through a 3rd party booking agent, like Booking.com, will not receive free wristbands, as they have not booked the official Golden 8 Ball pool accommodation package.

Please only use our online accommodation booking form, if you wish to receive free wristbands.

What happens if I damage my wristband?

What happens if I lose my wristband?

Sorry, but if you lose your wristband you will be required to purchase another one at the full price. This is a strict policy that we adhere to. We advise players to fit their wristbands as soon as they get them.
