Anyone heard if it is going to happen this year, considering what is going on in the Middle East?
Who in their right mind would travel there?
Probably going to be issues anywhere in the Middle East and Asia.
Most contracts have outs for acts of God, war, etc.
On the other hand, they could probably get more Saudis to attend if it was in London. It could hardly be less.yea sure but the 1 mil prize fund is stuck there

Professional pool players.who really gives a shit. its pool tournament. will anyone really lose sleep if its not played?
The batteries going off in Riyadh yesterday would say otherwise.If the event was next week, players would still be flying out.
The prize money is too good to turn down, and Saudi Arabia is pretty safe.

My hopes....
With the MR US Open 9 Ball now in TX....
Other promoters might start to work Around this event, to make traveling for the top players workable.
Like the PGA, certain events happen at certain times of the year like the Masters/Players Championship etc.
