Billiard is a very popular sport game, including among those who are called disabled people.
There is constantly growing a number of social organizations and clubs for such athletes, different competitions take place. One of them was recently at the club "Silver cue", which is headed by a philanthropist, social activist and cue sports lover Marc Traisman. According to Mark, to organize tournaments for the wheelchair users is not just a job, it is his vocation.
In total, the tournament was attended by 23 people. Wheelchair men traditionally played pool billiard: eight-ball according to the official international rules till two wins. Participants refused from any concession. Mark Traisman personally established a special prize "Will to Win", a new folding pool cue and the cue case.
The main objective of the Traisman "Silver cue" is to drag as much as possible of people with disabilities away from home. More than half of them who came for the first time, stay there. At the club, they play, communicate, fall in love, achieve some results. And their morale is boosted, people find their place in life. Women and men with locomotor disability, as well as men with common diseases competed in the "Russian" tables. They played "American pool", where you can hit any ball, also till two wins, albeit with some concessions. For example, to avoid a penalty, it was necessary just to touch the red object ball, instead of two sides or the rolling of the middle of the table after the collision.
