As official table supplier we are looking forward to the start of the event. In the past 6 years we have done several World Cup events, and the annual World Championships for teams, however this individual world championship is regarded as the tournament highlight.

The tournament starts at 11.00 hrs (CET), as far as I know Kozoom is involved in the live streaming and reports. So we can expect high quality coverage.
For more information on the event and the tournament tables you can visit or website: http://www.gabrielsbilliards.com/news/ During the event we try to give you a daily update on the latest news in Lausanne.

Difficult to predict the winner for this event though, the World Cup format will cause some surprises....
