Hmmm, it's in St. Louis. I wonder if Bergman will play in this. He does love him some 8ball (on adolescent tables).

Noticed this last week when skimming through the WPA calendar. Predator ought to be a little more "loud" with their announcements rather than just burying it as just part of the overall Event in St Louis.

Also on the WPA calendar it looks like Predator isn't bringing back the Women's World 9 Ball to here in Jacksonville and instead moving it to Bali That was a great event.

that's not his choice

Invitational I assume? That sucks, but it is what it is. I guess they will invite all the WPA players. Maybe Kazakis can be "world #1" again this year if he plays in all WPA events with no competition

With 96 spots, there is plenty of room for Bergman. I'm sure he can play if he wants to.
