@JAM Johan Chua is Philipino :) No other European player has won more major titles than Filler, not even close. Jason Shaw, Darren Appleton, Mika Immonen, Thorsten Hohmann - they all have won their share of trophies. However their trophy cabinet is not that packed compared to Josh's. Best, Kris

It did in past. Hard to assume will happen again this year since Filler is not much of an supporter or loudly endorses MR/WNT actions

Indeed, Predator seems to take over management of the Euro Tour.. Instead of livestream from every table, there is only main table streamed on youtube and brand new fugly "arena" with black cloth/curtain on all sides... gee, hard to name this as improvement.

No need for such complex arrangements, the solution is at hand and simple - alternative break ;)

I would guess would like to have this date finally in 2025 calendar, so that continent federations could finalise their calendars. Since this is World Championships, no conflict should occur with any other major competition. EPBF calendar for 2025, at least its first iteration, was available...

No idea really, just copy/pasted the address from laptop browser to reply box :)

You can watch Soufi here:

If only Pros took a minute to read the rules widely available and shared BEFORE the tournament instead of posting silly stuff at FB complaining. Form the Players handbook: For event (5), the following additional requirements for the dress code apply and take precedence over requirements above...

This is referee mistake. If they follow WPA regulations, player can move the ball for lag shot. There is nothing in regulations that prohibit it. Also not mentioned in the tournament protocol and player information leaflet. Not the first time referees have no clue what the rules are, pity also...

Not that I agree with scheduling, though it seems made on purpose to maintain higher number of viewers locally. If Mens finished, guess some may have lost compeltely interest to show up and watch live. Some spectators may show up earlier to watch juniors match, and wait for Ladies 10 Ball or...

Actually there are 3 Main tournaments, but Juniors play in 3 different divisions U17, U19 and Girls. So basically like running 5 different tournaments at the same time. Still, they made it stretched out mercilessly in time All the best, Kris

Not directly related to Singaporean players situation, but kind of "interesting" view.. ‘Players can’t earn a living’ – EPBF board member criticises World Nineball Tour model https://absolute-pool.com/2023/08/28/players-cant-earn-a-living-epbf-board-member-criticises-world-nineball-tour-model/...

There are European Pool Championships scheduled 01 June - 11 June, thus both Polish players (Szewczyk and Maciol) chose to play in Finland rather than in UK Open. Possibly some other players might have made similar decision

Well, sounds weird, agree :) Most importantly plays well. I have very different tips on my shafts, main playing shaft is Engage: Engage 11.8mm - Core M, to be replaced soon :) Prime M 12mm - Ultraskin H Prime 12mm - Zand H Prime 11.8mm - Ultraskin M
