“On behalf of the scientific and pedagogical staff as well as student team of the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic” I sincerely congratulate the participants of the All-Ukrainian competitions among scientific and pedagogical staff of higher education institutions in sports billiards “Free Pyramid” – Cup of the Rector of Poltava Polytechnic!
It is probably one of the most elegant sports, after ballroom dancing, which requires a uniform. At the same time, in my opinion, strict, non-emotional billiards give a great opportunity to relax, relieve psychological stress, pour out energy and sports excitement, hidden somewhere inside. I remember very well my own emotions during the previous Cup of Ukraine, that excitement and frenzy of sports confrontations that took place at the billiard table. Therefore, the Sports Club of Poltava Polytechnic is open for any initiatives, modern sports challenges.
Conducting such large-scale sporting events, competitions, championships, cups of the all-Ukrainian level has already become a good tradition of Poltava Polytechnic – one of the most sporting universities in the Poltava region and Ukraine! By launching such initiatives, we confidently hold the championship among the leading higher education institutions; strive for dynamic development and progress in the popularization of professional, student and youth sports in the Poltava region!
Despite austere quarantine restrictions, the university is increasing its pace and openness to cooperation with other educational institutions, sports schools and organizations. Successful case of effective cooperation of Poltava Polytechnic with the Federation of Sports Billiards of Ukraine and its director for the development of billiards (Pool, Snooker, Pyramid) in higher education institutions of Ukraine, chief judge of competitions, judge of international category, honorary professor of Poltava Polytechnic Oleksandr Beznosiuk can be taken as an example to follow by other leading Ukrainian higher education institutions, university partners.
Billiards Club of Poltava Polytechnic is almost the only sports billiards club in Ukraine, which belongs to a higher education institution and demonstrates high achievements of scientific and pedagogical staff. I wish you vital energy, bright game, interesting moments and enchanting victories!” – congratulated the rector of the university, Professor Volodymyr Onyshchenko.

Holding competitions for the Cup of the Rector of Poltava Polytechnic, Professor Volodymyr Onyshchenko is another good common tradition, without which it will be difficult to imagine the full picture of bright sporting events in Ukraine.
