Platz belegen Reiner Wirsbitzki (GER) und Warren Kiamco (PHI). Am nächsten Montag startet in New York die 75. Ausgabe des World Tournament of 14.1 (Straight Pool). Vom 13. – 19. Juli 2015 werden im sehr bekannten Steinway Billiards viele der Besten Straight Pool Spieler der Welt an den Start gehen. Dieses von Dragon Promotions organisierte Pool Billard Event zählt zu den letzten wirklich großen 14.1 Veranstaltungen auf der ganzen Welt. Im Grunde ist diese Disziplin ziemlich stark vom Aussterben bedroht, wenn man sich die weltweite Turnierlandschaft anschaut. Irrtümlicherweise wird das World Tournament of 14.1 oft als Weltmeisterschaft bezeichnet. Dafür müsste es von der World Pool Billiard Association unterstützt werden und das Preisgeld eine bestimmte Höhe haben. Natürlich gibt es seitens der WPA noch einige Auflagen mehr, damit dieses 14.1 Turnier als offizielle WM durchgeht. In den USA ist Straight Pool immer noch eine sehr wichtige Disziplin, nicht umsonst wird es als die Mutter […]

Vom 16. – 21. Dezember 2014 finden in New York die Women’s International Pool Championship 2014 statt. Dieses 10 Ball Damen Turnier wird gemeinsam von der WPBA und Dragon Promotions organisiert und seit mehreren Wochen intensiv im Internet beworben. Die Women’s International Pool Championship 2014 werden im sehr bekannten Steinway Billiards in New York City stattfinden und es gilt als Ersatz für die jährlich ausgetragene Damen 10 Ball Weltmeisterschaft. Dieses Turnier wurde zuerst nicht von der WPA sanktioniert, weil die WPA es nicht erlaubte dieses Event als Weltmeisterschaft zu bewerben.

Dieser Umstand hat sich zum guten gewendet und es wird seitens der WPA zu keinen einwenden kommen. Somit ist das Turnier nicht als WM anzusehen und es wird auch keine Punkte für das WPA World Ranking geben. Die Women’s International Pool […]
