Four of the male carom players are in the top 16. Blomdahl was at the very top for many years but is now #8 in the official rankings. For the women, I see three of the top 12.

For snooker, there are no top pros because the WCBS does not recognize the pro organization.

the snooker part is the amateur federation, so no pros make sense. it's more surprising that the pool and carom roster is so lackluster. prize money isn't awesome but it's ok for 3 days work

Outside of the three-cushion, it's a pretty weak field for sure.

Still, good luck to the participants. You've got be in it to win it.

Good prize money, with $140,000 being paid to the 48 participants.
