Pool League Challenge: Bangkok vs. Jakarta

[Cuaba]

This started as a challenge between the league operators in the two cities. Now I am in Jakarta with the Bangkok team, play starts in a couple hours.

Sponsors have supported our expenses, and put up $10K US for the winner. Each city is fielding a 20 man team.

This has so far been a great experience. I'll try to post pics ASAP. And a documentary film is being made about the event.

Any of the Jakarta players here on AZ?

Awesome. Go Bangkok. Are Tomoo and Yannick there?

 

[Cuaba]

Neither

Awesome. Go Bangkok. Are Tomoo and Yannick there?

Tomoo was just at the US Open and Yannick stayed in BKK. No pros at this event.

Although I just played the ex Malaysian women's champion.

I'm pretty sure that my win before this match put us on the hill?

I hope a video of one of my matches will surface.
