Chinese Taipei open 2024

Was surprised not to see a thread on this already.

Carlos Biado won it today with the young kid Regalario from the Philippines coming in second, beating Yapp on the way.
Happy to see these Asian events going on and hoping for more of them, hopefully see more Filipino players sign to match room as well if they have more local opportunities.

It's not the best in the world without the Philippines participating

Saw an article saying that the Ko brothers suffered from food poisoning and Ki Ping-Chung had to withdraw because he was affected the most.

I thought Carlo was gonna whitewash FSR. Had him down 8-0 going to 10. FSR made a decent little come back before Carlo finished him off. I believe it was 10-5

Was actually wondering what happened to them, was shocked to see neither in final 8

i didn't watch the match in it's entirety but looked like a decent number of BNRs, both in this match and against chang yu lung

And the last American standing was Justin Martin.


Wait… what?

Yes, and I saw A.J. Manas beat Aloysius Yapp, while putting a Six-Pack on Yapp.

Ruiz really has no personality. He’s like watching paint dry. I was hoping Biado was going to skunk him.

Manas lost to Yapp on the hill but played great! The other young gun Bernie Regalario beat Yapp on the hill in the semis.

This is a shocking take I haven't heard before, I love to watch FSR and he seems like a good guy

That's poolroom money. How does this qualify as an Asian 9-Ball Tour event?

In my opinion way to close to Derby which is gonna force players to choose between the two. That’s a lot of ground to cover to try and play both.

i think the minimum requirement for the tour is 10k added, but unsure. maybe it's higher this year

AJ beat Yapp 10-6 did they play a second time where he lost to Yapp on the hill? He beat Yapp 10-4 last year!

I think AJ lost to Yap hill-hill at the Indonesia open.

Final; Indonesia Open...Capito vs Ignacio
