I know it is late...some pictures of the WPC

[XtremeBilliard]

Sorry, I know it is very late to post some pictures of the WPC 2005. I have decided to post them here just in case some of you are still interested.
These are pictures you do not get to see on the web site.
I hope you will enjoy them.

I will post pictures which most people cannot see on the website or on TV.

A picture of an empty room, a banner, a building half covered with trees, and 2 pictures of some reporter. Thanks rotflmao but I want my 10 seconds of life wasted back.

Great pix, good job! Seems like you were travelling with the filipino contingent.

Cute reporter btw

Thanks for the pics. I enjoyed looking at them because they helped me get a better idea of the setting over there. I had a few friends over there and some of them mentioned the mopeds... in one of the pics you can see them all lined up along the sidewalk. I was also able to get a better idea of what the venue looked like & just how big it was. Just goes to show how much Taiwan cares about pool as compared to the states.

I have to go. I have some pictures I will post tomorrow. They are in my other computer.

Taiwan paid about one million dollars last year to have the WPC held in Taipei. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt if the US government would ever do something like that.

Xtreme Billiard do you have any backstage photos of Thorsten Hohmann at the 2005 wpc as he is my favourite player?

 

[XtremeBilliard]

I found a picture of Throsten, and one of Thomas. Plus some more. I hope you like them.

I took a few pictures of Wu but they were not very good. I am sorry.

The first guy is Ying chieh Chen. He is the 2002 World Junior Champion and he came to the last sixteen in the WPC this year.
In the WPC 2004, he did not lost a single match in his group. In the knock out stage, he lost his first match.
