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.

Dieser Umstand hat sich zum guten gewendet und es wird seitens der WPA zu keinen einwenden kommen.
