So are you saying that there will be 14 past winners, and two anyone?

Hm.. how about the Ko brothers? Just for the fun of having brothers in there that are both world class players.

 

[Mole Eye]

Get the 2 highest ranked players. Whoever they may be.

Players confirmed are:
SVB, Appleton, Souquet, Feijen, Strickland, Orcollo, Peach, Lely, Bustamante, Drago, Hundal, Pagulayan, Alcaide & Skowerski.


Definitely I would agree with Big Ko.
I guess brothers would be good.

Ko Pin Yi, and take the current World 9 Ball Champ Biado.

Roberto Gomez and jayson Shaw.

 

[boogeyman]

Roberto Gomez and jayson Shaw.

I agree. Jayson Shaw.
Would like to see an invite to the recent Chinese 8-ball champ, Zheng Yubo.

If Zheng couldn't make it, then would like to see the highest ranking, not-yet-on-the-roster player.

I would take even-money for Shaw to win it.

If it’s a true world tournament, there definitely should be some Asians, whether Ko or others.

 

[pt109]

Ko Pin Yi, and take the current World 9 Ball Champ Biado.

This would be perfect.....Big Ko and Carlos.

Too bad the action days are gone...Big Ko would be one hell of a road name.

 

[Black-Balled]

Fine...i will play.

But I don't like my chances.

 

[Mikkes]

Current US Open 9-Ball champion Jayson Shaw and current 9-Ball world champion and world games gold medalist Carlo Biado.

 

[Mikkes]

Shaw and Wu are the two players who got the two left places for the WPM

Thanks for posting this.

Shaw vs Bustamante will be out of sight.

 

[Ak Guy]

Wowser!

Should be a good tourney. Looks like a world Cup of Europe with about half of them coming from Europe.

But, there are 3 Pinoy's in there, so one of them will probably be slugging it out for the title. Alex may be a Canadian now, but he can't change his DNA!

I am really hoping for an early Shaw/Shane match up.

 

[9andout]

Go earl!!!!!

 

[pt109]

Go earl!!!!!

I like Earl’s chances this match....he just won a Euro tournament...
...Daz has been slacking lately...
...and they got side pockets

 

[AtLarge]

... I am really hoping for an early Shaw/Shane match up.

Looks like it would be a semifinal match, if they both win their first two matches.

Hope there is a referee racking!
