16 players have won the previous 24 World Pool Masters events (Engert, Van Boening, and Bustamante are 2-time winners and Souquet has won 6 times). Matchroom got 14 of those 16 past winners (all but Werner Duregger and Thomas Engert) plus two wild cards (Shaw and Wu) to complete the initial field of 16 for this year's event.
Then two past winners were unable to play -- Bustamante (travel problems?) and Drago (ill), so Matchroom named Filler and Boyes to replace them.
Then, at the last minute I guess, Wu was unable to get there and Melling was named as his replacement.
I don't know whether Biado was invited at some point.
Biado is in the Philippines per Anitikid's threads from the Philippine training center in the last few days....the Wu replacement was maybe too short notice for him to get travel plans ironed out. But he definitely should have been there before Filler and Boyes, or at least offered the spot before them.
Maybe Anitokid can ask him if he sees him.
What is the United Kingdom? I thought Shaw was from Scotland and Appleton from England.
serious?

Are you REALLY not going to allow some slack for a silly complicated situation?
The United Kingdom is a COUNTRY that is somehow made up of the COUNTRIES of Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Island. But wait? Is Northern Ireland a COUNTRY or just a PROVINCE --depends on who you talk to....
These COUNTRIES compete separately in the Commonwealth games. But wait! They complete together as a COUNTY in the olympics....
There is no ISO COUNTRY code for England, only a COUNTRY code GBR, which presumable stands for Great Britain which is the big island that includes England, Scotland, and Wales, but actually stands for the United Kingdom, which also includes whatever you call that other other thing known as Northern Ireland.....
I know *I* am confused....
