Manhattan,NY- Dragon Promotions proudly announces that fans and players will be pleased to know that the 2008 World 14.1 Championship will see the event grow and continue on. This is largely due to the impact of the event's newest benefactor Dr. Michael Fedak of New York City. Dr.Fedak will be joining World 14.1 patron sponsor Joel Schapiro as the event's main sponsors. Both men are residents of New York City. With the addition of Dr. Fedak's support, the World 14.1 Championship looks to have a very bright future.

"The World Straight Pool Championship is important for the sport. So many fans and players are in love with this event. That's the main reason of my involvement, I don't want any doubt about the future of this event. I am insuring its growth and future." said Dr. Michael Fedak, the World 14.1 Championships newest patron sponsor.

"This event has alot of meaning for players and fans. I enjoyed the event as a sponsor and a player, but most of all as a lover of 14.1 " said Joel Schapiro.

Next year Comet Billiards of New Jersey, who was selected as the Official Poolroom of the World 14.1 Championship, will tentatively plan to have the Official Players Meeting for the World Straight Pool Championship , as well as a Charity Event,and Exhibition 14.1 Challenge Match the night before the main event starts.

Hey, doesn't anyone care about the announcement that there will be another World Championship in Straight Pool played again in 2008 in the New York/New Jersey area ?!!? Anyone still interested in 14.1 ?

Or are we too preoccupied with Kevin Trudeau's latest ploy or the $22,000,000 version of the next scam?

Might just a little event going on Vegas that has most folks attention right now
 
This is the best news I have heard all week! It great that the Dragon Promotions staff, Dr. Fedak, and Joel Shapiro have the passion and the means to continue this event. Charlie, (BTW - Your PM box is FULL) if you need anything - I mean anything - don't hesitate to call me.
 
Charlie, I was wondering why you don't completely open the W14-1C, and let any player to compete, as long as they pay their entrance fee?

The way I see it is, it can only allow for bigger prize money with more players competeing and also the sponsorship will be good for extra funding of prize money, but in saying that, I can understand that the time frame of the matches and overall tournament would be a major factor in this.

I would like to find out though about having a qualifier for the event here in Northern Ireland as a UK/Eastern European qualifier for the event, if possible, please PM me the details of how I can organize a W14-1 qualifier.

Many thanks in advance and well deserved rep points for you, for keeping a REAL pool game alive :)

Because of people like john Barton and grady, I decided last year, after the ad hominem attacks against me, to no longer lend financial support to pool.

With that said, I am glad this event has secured sponsorship that will keep this event alive for many years to come.

RG, Thanks for all of your efforts over the past two years and for taking the initiative to get the ball rolling for straight pool again.

The 2006 and 2007 tournaments were great and with the help of the new sponsors, I am confident that next year's event will be no different.
