Albin Is Ocean’s Apart – Finals report from the 2016 World 9-ball Championship

Austria’s Albin Ouschan wins the 2016 World 9-ball Championship with an emphatic 13-6 win over American Shane Van Boening. By Ted Lerner – WPA Press Officer Photos Courtesy of Vinod Divakaran/ Doha Stadium Plus (Doha, Qatar)–Austria’s Albin Ouschan knew coming into today’s semi-finals and finals at the World 9-ball Championship that just about everything in his personal and professional pool playing life was going just about perfect. But even he couldn’t have imagined the dream day he just conjured up on the way to winning pool’s most prestigious prize. After first blowing out Canada’s Alex Pagulayan in the semi-final, Ouschan came back to put an emphatic and somewhat shocking 13 – 6 drubbing on American Shane Van Boening to capture his first WPA World 9-ball championship in front of over 400 people at the Al Arabi Sports Club in Doha. The victory was all the more sweet for the 25 year old Austrian because just two years ago, he placed second to the Netherland’s Niels Feijen in this very same arena. Ouschan took that loss […]

Fit, Fresh And Fabulous

Greece’s Nikos Ekonomopoulus plays perfect pool to book his place with 31 others in the knockout rounds at the World 9-ball Championship. By Ted Lerner – WPA Press Officer Photos Courtesy of Bo Bader (Doha, Qatar)–Misery and joy danced a sultry tango today at the Al Arabi Sports Club in Doha on Day 2 of the 2016 WPA World 9-ball Championship, as 32 players headed for the exits, while another 32 players booked their place in the final 64 knockout stage. As on Day 1, all 128 players saw action, but unlike the opening rounds, much more was at stake. All 32 losers-side matches in the group stage were do-or-die. All 32 winners-side matches offered the victor a massive sigh of relief, and a day off as they await the start of the single elimination knockout stage which begins on Tuesday. For the 64 players remaining in this year’s World 9-ball Championship, that means Monday is the dreaded Judgement Day, when every roll of the ball could spell the difference between a career defining run […]

2016 WPA World 9 Ball Championship

Albin Ouschan (AUT) gewinnt 2016 WPA World 9 Ball Championship im Finale gegen Shane Van Boening (USA) mit 13-6. Den 3. Platz belegen Alex Pagulayan (CAN) und Hsuan Yu-Cheng (TPE). Am nächsten Montag, den 25. Juli 2016 starten in Doha/Katar die WPA 9 Ball Weltmeisterschaften. Dieser Titel ist nach wie vor der wichtigste im Welt Pool Billard und für jeden Spieler die größte Herausforderung. Nicht nur das extrem starke Teilnehmerfeld, sondern auch die besonderen Umstände tragen dazu bei. Die hohen Außentemperaturen und der stark klimatisierte Spielort, der Al Arabi Sports Club, sind für viele Spieler kaum zu beherrschen. Im letzten Jahr gewann Ko Pin-Yi aus Taiwan diesen Titel im Finale gegen Shane Van Boening aus den USA. Im Finale 2015 wurde erneut deutlich das leider nicht immer der bessere Spieler gewinnt. Shane Van Boening spielte ein überragendes Turnier und dominierte selbst die stärksten Konkurrenten nach Belieben. Im Finale spielte Shane Van Boening, der wohl beste Spieler der Welt, ebenfalls fehlerfrei und unterlag am Ende mit 11-13. Im Laufe des Finals streute Ko Pin-Yi einige unerwartete […]

Ab morgen findet in Guilin/China die Pool Billard 9 Ball Weltmeisterschaft der Damen statt. Die 2015 WPA Women’s World 9 Ball Championship geht bis zum nächsten Sonntag, den 08. November 2015 und diese Weltmeisterschaft gehört zu den Top Pool Billard Veranstaltungen des gesamten Jahres. Leider ist es auch in diesem Jahr erneut kaum möglich, trotz intensiver Bemühungen, an Informationen zu kommen. Wie so oft machen unsere chinesischen Freunde auch aus einem Pool Billard Turnier ein Staatsgeheimnis 😉 wir werden das in Zukunft auch gerne so akzeptieren, aber deshalb auch nicht mehr bereit sein alle Fakten, Links, Informationen etc. in mühsamer Kleinarbeit zusammenzutragen. Deshalb verzichten wir an dieser Stelle auf einen ausführlichen Artikel und können leider nur einige Fakten präsentieren. Sollten in den nächsten Tagen noch Informationen eintrudeln, werden die hier in den Links zu finden sein. Spielort: Guilin Museum in Guilin/China Wann: 02.-08. November 2015 […]

September 2015 wird in Doha/Katar die diesjährige 9 Ball Weltmeisterschaft ausgetragen. Die 2015 WPA World 9 Ball Championship läuft bis zum 18. September 2015 und es werden so ziemlich alle Stars der Pool Billard Welt in Doha anzutreffen sein. Die 9 Ball WM gehört jedes zu den Events mit der größten Strahlkraft und dem größten Prestige. Und kaum ein anderes Turnier ist wohl so schwer zu gewinnen wie die Titelkämpfe im Al Arabi Sports Club. Extreme Temperaturen draußen, Klimaanlagen die den Spielort ziemlich runterkühlen und die besten Spieler der Welt. Leider hat es dieser WM in den letzten Jahren ein wenig an Atmosphäre gefehlt, gerade dann wenn die „Local Heroes“ ausgeschieden waren wirkte die Stimmung ziemlich zurückhaltend, wir werden sehen, wie es sich in diesem Jahr verhält und sind gespannt auf den Auftritt des Lokalmatadoren Waleed Majid. Titelverteidiger ist der Niederländer Niels […]

Eight Gunning for The Big Prize

It’s a wide open race for glory as the final 8 sharpshooters do battle Saturday for the 2015 MP Cup World 10-ball Championship. By Ted Lerner/WPA Press Officer Photos Courtesy Dong Secuya/philboxing.com (General Santos City, Philippines)–After a long and tense day of duels at the highest levels of the professional game, the field at the 2015 MP Cup World 10-ball Championship in the southern Philippine city of General Santos has been whittled down to eight superb talents, all of whom have a solid shot at emerging with the title on the final day on Saturday.

It’s a heady cocktail of long time veterans and some of the great young players of the day. Interestingly, not a single one of the final eight players has ever one won a world title above the junior level. That, of course, will change for one deserving player come early evening on Saturday.
