Good luck and good rolls to the boys from the USA that are Going to the World 9-ball in China!!! SVB, Oscar D., and Jeremy Sossei an anyone else making the trip!!! Bring some hardware back home!!!!
The World 9-ball Championship is played in Qatar, not in China.
This is a WPA sanctioned event, however, and it will have an absolute killer field. A win in the China Open is very prestigious, and I'll join you in wishing the Americans who participate the very best.
Kudos to Shane, Oscar and Jeremy for making the trip. This will be an extremely difficult field and will offer some of the best possible preparation for the Mosconi Cup. The best way to prepare to play against the most elite international players overseas is to compete in WPA World Championships.
