Women's 10-ball Championship
- Thread starter DRW
- Start date
GOGO Tsai Pei Chen! I've watched this girl since her debut game in a poorly organized Taiwanese league. And now she has improved so much over the years to be a world title contender!
Well the final four ladies for this event are set. Semifinal 1 tomorrow will feature Ga-Young Kim vs. defending champion Rubilen Amit and semifinal 2 will be Kelly Fisher vs. Jasmin Ouschan. Ga-Young defeated her quarterfinal opponent 8-1, Kelly Fisher won 8-3 and Jasmin Ouschan defeated Karen Corr 8-2. Rubilen Amit eliminated Line Kjoersvik. Race to 9 for the finals tomorrow.
AZ probably not getting any/much info from Dragon. Johnnyt
Pretty interesting that all the great Chinese players were eliminated. They seemed to be poised to take over women's pool.
No Americans left either.. Johnnyt
Not shocking considering our representation. I am not knocking them but the chances of a US player winning it were slim to begin with.
But were the great ones there? No Shin-Mei Liu, Sha Sha Liu, Xiao-Ting Pan, Shu-Han Chang, Fu, Si Meng Chen, etc. How does Dragon select who is going to play for their world championship?!
Since this was a santioned world ranking event I believe Dragon has to go thru the normal invite process as other world ranking events. I can't speak for other countries but I do know that this process was followed for the invited North American players as they were invited thru the WPBA and our ranking. I believe Charlie gets a set amount of "promoter spots" which is normal and a set amount of spots for qualifiers. The promoter or qualifier spots might be how some of the Americans that are not high in our WPBA ranking were invited but I am not sure.
Not to hate on her, I think she's doing a fine job promoting the game, but honestly from what i've seen she is not competitive at all in a pro event.
No legitimate World Championship Tournament should include an invite for Shanelle. Sorry but this is just 100% fact.
