Yes, I'll be receiving the master copy next week.
It was a very exciting match and like I said in another thread Charlie and Raj were more than capable. I have a bunch of pics but still have to sit down and work on getting them uploaded.
Oh, and all the players got their prize money even if it took Verna, Ish and Perry to 5 am to do the math and deliver to the players personally. Why the late hours? Most of the players were leaving in a few hours to head back for the Mosconi.
This event and format got a lot of people in power, sponsors and tv networks very interested. So, watch out for a bigger Team Philippines vs The World event next year!

And that's how it went down. Raj, Charlie, Wu and Captain Rodney placed the exclamation point on the great comeback, of the Team World, that was started by Charlie Williams' great performance when he defeated Dennis O. Not one pulled any punches for there were sooooo many amazing shots!! Great drama with a lot of twists and turns!

Looks like Philippines had a bad year. Not one won a major tournament. Better luck next year.
If you send me yours then you'll get announcements and reminders (text messages) from Rizah about upcoming in-house tournaments that we do at the Superman Sports Bar. I'll make sure that she gets your number.Renegade said:
wow!
thanks for the pics, bandido! contact details next?
We sure did but come 2009 we'll start the year off with a 7-City Villard Cup from Jan-March. The guys are all burned-out from all the tournaments and travelling and the turmoil.parvus1202 said:

I think we need bleachers for 2500. The audience watching from the upper floors are 2-3 deep in some areas!
Raj, Waway (our TV Program's Marketing Director and Rayne (our interviewer).
In between match clean-up crew!

Phil. Olympic Com. halts BSCP election
Local pool body in disarray

MANILA, Philippines: Heeding the letter-request of the country?s top players and billiards supporters, the Philippine Olympic Committee has directed the Billiards and Snookers Congress of the Philippines to put on hold its general membership meeting-election originally scheduled for Dec. 5 at the Makati Sports Club.
Among those who signed the letter-request, dated Nov. 28, were former BSCP chair and incumbent director Arturo Ilagan, BSCP members Mahar Mangahas (the SWS president) and Jonathan Sy of Negros Billiards Stable; Perry Mariano of Bugsy Promotions, Puyat Sports president Aristeo G. Puyat, world No. 1 Dennis Orcollo, Hall of Famer Efren "Bata" Reyes, Francisco "Django" Bustamante, 2007 world 9-ball runner-up Roberto Gomez, Lee Van Corteza and Warren Kiamco.
On Dec. 3, BSCP president Ernesto Fajardo circulated a memorandum to BSCP members announcing the postponement of the meeting. I tried to touch base with Mr. Fajardo to get more details, but my efforts were all in vain. Still, I would welcome a reply from him.
What were some of the issues against the BSCP leadership?
According to the letter addressed to POC president Jose "Peping" Cojuangco Jr., the officers of the BSCP, particularly chair Yen Makabenta and Fajardo, have lost the respect of the local billiards community.
Almost all the country's top players did not join the last World Ten-Ball Championship held here despite the big prizes offered. It was produced by Makabenta?s Raya Sports.
The letter also said that in spite of repeated queries, Mr. Fajardo has refused to disclose the names of the members who will be allowed to vote. It is our feeling that Mr. Fajardo and his group are purposely doing this to hide the fact that they appointed only people close to them so that they can perpetuate their tenure in the BSCP.?
The BSCP has denied hiding the names of the eligible voters, according to news reports.
Likewise, these BSCP officers were said to have used their powers to intimidate and coerce players into participating in events staged by their outfit. The players who refuse to join these events, no matter how deserving, are allegedly not allowed to represent the Philippines in international tournaments where the country is allotted slots.
Take the case of former world champion Alex Pagulayan. BSCP officials had dropped him from the RP team after Pagulayan was accused of ?sharking? (distracting an opponent in order to win) during the 2007 Singapore leg of the Guinness Asian 9-Ball Tour. They did not even bother to get Pagulayan's side before making the pronouncement in the newspapers and on the Internet.
Makabenta and Fajardo are now facing a criminal libel suit at the Pasig Regional Trial Court on account of the damage and injury they have done to Pagulayan. (To be continued

I can only regret my pc went down just before my trip to Manila. And it is still dead now when I returned back home. Will take some time to fix it, and only then I will be able to share some pictures and videos with you guys.
As for nice looking Filipinas I wonder if anyone has got a photo of Grace who plays poker at PPT Player's Den occasionally. Or just a cell number so that I could ask her about a pic She's mouth-watering
