Nice to see the Ko bro's and LVC! That's a tough field there! Thanks for sharing

 

[Bob Jewett]

I expect the list will change some as the tournament is still 10 days out. No Judd Trump?!?

Here is a country count -- 41 represented. "ANA" seems to mean "Those Countries Which Must Not Be Named".

Quite a presence from Chinese Taipei, as we must call it.

82 United States
12 Chinese Taipei
11 United Kingdom
10 Canada
8 Poland
7 Philippines
7 Finland
6 Spain
5 Vietnam
5 Germany
4 Netherlands
4 Japan
4 India
3 Switzerland
3 South Africa
3 Singapore
3 Puerto Rico
3 Hong Kong
3 Greece
3 Estonia
3 Austria
3 ANA
2 Kuwait
2 Denmark
2 Albania
1 Venezuela Ukraine Turkey Syria Sweden Serbia New Zealand Mexico Lithuania Indonesia Cyprus Costa Rica Cayman Islands Bosnia and Herzegovina Bahamas Australia

@Bob Jewett are they using Diamond tables?

 

[Bob Jewett]

@Bob Jewett are they using Diamond tables?

I believe that Diamond is still the only supplier that can install 32 (or so) 9-foot tables in the time required. That's due to their one-piece slate construction which allows the tables to be set up very quickly. They have been announced in some of the press releases for the tournament as the table supplier.

I looked on the matchroompool.com website and the only sponsors they list directly that sell tables are Rasson and Predator. No Diamond logo. I wonder if that was intentional. If I were Diamond I would prefer to have my logo displayed rather than Rasson's.

 

[sjm]

Wow, this field is loaded. Good representation from Asia, although it is tough to overlook the absences of the Chinese contingent and 2021 bronze medalist Dennis Orcullo. Assuming the same format as last year (just 16 players in Stage 2), some of the superstars will fail to reach the single elimination stages.

Good luck to all of these fine players.

 

[Island Drive]

Allen Hopkins, and Orcullo....Not on list.

 

[Bob Jewett]

... it is tough to overlook the absence of the Chinese contingent ...

Evidently large parts of the PRC are still in total lockdown. I see a report of one city requiring three Covid tests per week of all residents.

 

[sjm]

Allen Hopkins, and Orcullo....Not on list.

Mario He, Fargo 804, is not on the list, and neither is 2021 WPC bronze medalist Oliver Szolnocki, Fargo 794.

 

[Island Drive]

I'm also surprised, tho not really. Past winner, pre paid Gabe Owen.

 

[JusticeNJ]

Did not see Feijen either, unless I read too fast.

 

[CBuck]

No Corey Deuel on there either

 

[sjm]

Hang on, Niels Feijen and Mario He are both missing from the list in post #1 but are found in the Cuescore list of matches.

The cuescore site has Corey in a match also

[AtLarge]

I'll be interested in seeing how Anton Raga does. Has he ever been to the US before? Could be a contender.

 

[u12armresl]

My gosh there is a lot of dead money in there.

 

[Tin Man]

My gosh there is a lot of dead money in there.

I suppose so if you are a 900 Fargo Rate...

 

[skogstokig]

I'll be interested in seeing how Anton Raga does. Has he ever been to the US before? Could be a contender.

that was my exact reaction. but raga has gotten his fargo score playing quite locally, east asia and mainly PI. i don't know what that translates to when on the big stage in the US

also noted that mr. blyler is back to exact revenge on mr. filler.
