Just pay the WPA sanctioning fee and add more money and you can do what you want. WPA=after us you come first. Johnnyt

That's just ridiculous . Even the qualifiers day one brackets are filled out up to the winner of each group. So no idea who got in.this is a huge shame .

I believe Jeff Ignacio and Jeff De Luna are moving forward to the main rounds. Two other Japanese players are moving on too. So 4 qualifiers are over and 8 more to go to determine who will be the 12 players moving on to the next rounds.
 
That doesn't surprise me in the least when I saw the brackets. Thanks for the post but that's still a shame that there isn't a stream .

So which guys from the U.S is playing?

Based on the draw sheet I saw, none of the entrants to the qualifiers (so far) are American. They are largely Asian (including PI) and from the Middle East, with a couple of Europeans.

I think I read that the U.S. gets 8 spots in the main draw, and without a national federation paying to fly the players out there, it is a long way to go and a lot of money to spend. As a purely business proposition, a North American player would have to assume they are going to go very deep into the money at the main event in order to justify the cost of going.
 
With the quality of the U.S. Open in terms of organization, steaming, brackets, etc. I would like to see Pat Flemming get the keys to the World 9-ball car. Bring it to the USA, let Mike Zuglan direct the tournament out of the turning stone casino.

I know it's fantasy land, but it's my dream scenario, so that's that. :cool:

Would be nice. More North American players would enter. I would like it if Daniel Busch streamed it. I think pov has the best stream
 
Go 40(rob hart) and Wilkie. Couple local guys doing it big n 40,I heard on that radio show he was on, will be the first African American to play I. The tournament so he's setting records before he hits a ball. But sincerely good luck guys hopefully this reaches u and you both know Barry's routing for u
 
I hope John Morra does well in this year's W9B. He's been doing good since last year. Almost won the China Open. Made it to the quartefinals in last year's W9B. Also did well in Chinese 8-ball. Won Hard Times 10-ball beating Django hill-hill safety battle on a table with 4-inch pockets. He's young and a very smart player. He could win this thing.

Hi arps, do you know who are the Filipino players already seeded in the main rounds? Jeff Ignacio & Jeff De Luna qualified already. Gomez, Faraon, Gallego still trying to get through. Where is Johann Chua?

I hope so. He is so fun to watch and is my current favorite among the young pinoy players. I wonder why Jeff Ignacio had to qualify while Chua is already in the main round.

Chua qualified cos he is in top 24 WPA ranking http://www.wpa-pool.com/web/rankings
Defending champ Big Ko also auto qualify which means #25 Aloysius Yapp is in also
Watch out for Yapp , a dark horse who gets better every year
Reading the tea leaves, there is high likelihood that one of top young guns Chua, Lil Ko, Yapp or Ignacio may snap whole thing this year :D
