2026 Billard Beckmann Men’s Open

This is one of the Predator Pro Billiard Series multi-events -- Men's Open, Women's Open, and Mixed Doubles Open, all 10-Ball. The men's event is very strong in European players, but not many from anywhere else.

I like the Predator events a lot, but this would be more interesting with more Asian players.
 
Poor attendance of the top American players during Predator's US Pro Billiard Series, which lasted just two seasons (2022-23, if memory serves), ensured that the US Pro Billiard Series folded. As WPA doesn't count Fedor as American, there are no Americans in the men's field here.

Let's hope that the top Americans don't, through their absence, similarly hurt the long-term viability of this new edition of the Predator Pro Billiard Series.

The calendar is pretty busy now, but the payouts look pretty good for the men's event. Strange only Fedor went from the US.

2nd $17,500
3rd-4th $8,750
5th-8th $4,375

Yes, but this is the third installment of the new edition of the Predator Pro Billiard Series, and the first two (Las Vegas, St Louis) drew more elite fields than this event. Prize money here is very strong in all three events (men's 10ball, women's 10ball, mixed doubles 10ball).
