You say off year. What do you mean, cause from what I can tell he cashed in world 8-ball, world 9-ball, world 10-ball, china open, all eurotours and all tourstops at great britain 9-ball tour. That's a lot of playing for a guy having a year off. Don't get me wrong, I mean there should be a 5...

Karl did play this year, so he got his chance to defend his title... He finished 17th. The 2011 World 8-Ball Championship kicks off play on Sunday the 20th of February at 1pm (4am EST) with 112 players competing for this prestigious title. Reigning World 8-Ball Champion Karl Boyes starts his...

Btw, when Matchroom did the World 9-ball Championships I think the last 16 got invite for next year, and past 5 winners got invite. I liked that That was a 128 round robin event

For how long? We had this discussion when Grady didn't get invited for World 14-1, but I'll give it a go again. If World 8-ball and it's sponsors wants this to be a high-level 64-player event, and you expect that during the next 50 years there will be 40+ different champs. Should they...

Karl Boyes is NOT the defending champ even if he didn't compete in 2011... To Bob, Dennis Orcullo is his birthname, but when he got a passport they printed Orcollo. That's why you see both in use.

I've played Efren many times, most of the time we have been playing cheap sets of one-pocket, but I have also played him just for fun with no money involved. I don't think he will do that often, but to say for a fact that he never plays without gambling is wrong.

He didn't play in 2011. Only One Pocket tournament he played was the US Open in May, which he won. In 2010 he did however win 9-ball, 10-ball, second in banks and the Master of the table.

FYI, Ralf Souquet and Johnny Archer were both born in November 1968 :-) Regarding Efren, he is soon 60 years old, he only compete abroad when there is big money to win, if it suits his schedule etc. You can't expect him to travel the world like a youngster anymore, he is making an ok living in...

I can tell you that no one wants Mrs. Klatt to be the thug hunting you down. I was 3 feet away when she was tearing Cleary apart, and it was not nice. I have stayed away from American girls since that day. Marked for life. It was scary. Oh man, you are killing me :D

Here is the top 10 earners from each of the last 5 years. Please note that many tournaments are not included. Many European and Asian tournaments are missing, but these numbers are from the AZ Money List which is probably the best updated list in the world right now. There have been a different...

The Europeans have it the same way. The European Pool Federation have nothing to say when it comes to picking players, it's all up to whatever Matchroom decide. Still, we manage to support our team... I thought Darren a few years ago offered Shane to come to UK to play barbox 8-ball for $...

Great one Cleary, love it :-)

If you consider Hohmann an European because he was a 9-ball champ before he moved to the States, how about Mika Immonen who won the World Championship in 2001?

This is true! About 5 years ago or so 20-30 UK players invaded the Eurotour and the level of play increased immidiately! The Eurotour have been playing nonstop for nearly 20 years (?), with almost the same format in every tournament. It does not happen often that a player win more than one...

Well said, totally agree

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see any of the sets, even though I bought access for one of them. I prefer sets like this, I find it much more entertaining compared to one long race. Way to go TAR and Oscar :-)

You know, I don't care much about this event anymore, cause it's way too easy for us europeans to win, so I'm just wondering if we have won yet?

Anyone got results from day 1?

It is simply the TAR pit

Your game would improve - no doubt about that! He said that his two idols are chuck norris and travis trotter :-) I tried smokesignals, but that didn't work well so went over to text-messages ;) Efren will most likely play anyone that asks for a match. He can play small races against...
