Where can I find the player list?
World 9 Ball in Qatar
- Thread starter RichSchultz
- Start date
All the WPA site shows is the dates. The WPA is HORRIBLE at providing information. Nothing on their FB page about it. Good luck.
When the brackets are posted, as usual.
Yeah, about 5min before play starts.
Gre Leenders of the WPA got back to me. Said to monitor this site for info. Brackets will be up soon. http://qbsf.qa/pub/home-page/Yeah, about 5min before play starts.
I always look at the QBSF every year and it is always horrible until right before play begins. Nothing on their Facebook page either.
Just a few days before the 2019 championship....
..nothing but how to join the 2018 championship
And just a few days before we see all the excitement of a ghost town....
...which looks extra bad after the excitement of the Mosconi Cup
Will it be played in that same Quatari bomb shelter auditorium, with only the sound of the air conditioning to compete with the clicking pool balls?
After a packed stands to the nosebleeds Mosconi Cup, this plays like a funeral with all the empty seats and Monastery-like echos.
December 3rd
Yes when does it start? Are any Americans in it?
Amateur hour as always.
Bet you Rob Hart is in it. I always assume his brother covers all of his expenses.
It would be sweet if he sponsors a huge pool tournamet. 100K added is chump change for him
WPA calendar says Dec. 10-17

I’m reading Dec 3 to 12th
Am I batting zero today?...I thought I could trust the internet...
I also read 10th through 17th....wth
Is the earlier date qualifying?

Yes they like to masquerade qualifiers as a "stage 1" and somehow part of the actual championship event.
"Qualifiers:
10, 11 & 12 December
Player’s Meeting:
13 December
Stage 2:
14, 15, 16 & 17 December"

The WPA calendar says Dec. 10-12 for qualifier rounds and Dec. 14-17 for the real thing.
But I do remember that an earlier report had it as starting on the 3rd, and that info possibly came from an earlier date on the WPA calendar. Then the WPA removed it entirely from their calendar, then later put it back to starting on the 10th.
And you might also remember an earlier thread suddenly announcing that it had started in August.
Some of the possible World 9-Ball contenders will be playing any-ball-any-pocket on Dec. 3.

It’s almost as if it’s intentional how amateur and vague they are at doing this.
It defies explanation how a governing body of anything cannot hold 1 official tournament every year.
Mike Zuglan holds two major tournaments a year on time, on schedule, and do you think the WPA could give him a call and ask him what the magic is that makes it happen?
My default explanation is that it’s done on purpose. But I can’t figure out a motive yet.
