World junior championship

[#Cruncher]

Did I miss the thread about the world juniors? Does it start Sunday or Monday? Will it be streamed? Very hard to find info about it, except that its in Johannesburg.

Oh, yes, I am interested in this too. Thanks for the reminder.

NYC Grind and Alison Fischer is doing a marvelous job with pool news these days. They are current and up to date, and in some respects, they bring the news faster than most ---> HERE.

On some websites, it says December 8-12, and on other websites, it says December 9-12. So we still have a day or two until it begins.

Thanks for the link, JAM. I'm interested since two of the boys I helped mentor in the pool room.

Which are your two? I remember reading about Joey from Juice.

Sergio Rivas and Tyler Styer are from the Milwaukee area. They flew out together last night.

Very cool. I think I remember reading something about Sergio ---> West Allis Student Breaking into Top of Billiard World.

Live Streaming World Juniors

Here is a live streaming link for the World Juniors: http://cuesportfever.com/index.php/live-streaming

So the juniors event should be underway. Any updates?

 

[JAM]

I believe Str8 Shots has some involvement with sponsoring, but I have not read a press release on the Main Page of AzBilliards, so I'm not sure what's up at the time of this writing. BEF website should have something soon, I would think: http://billiardeducation.org/events/junior-world-championships/

My Joey lost his match, but Sergio Rivas won his match.

Here's a link that has the streaming and links to the girls and wheelchair divisions: http://www.cuesportfever.com/index.php/latest-wpa-worlds/701-the-wpa-world-9-ball-championships

Sucks Joey lost his first match. Plus Brendan Crockett had to play Sergio right out of the gate.

Yeah, why would they put two Americans against each other? I saw that. :frown:

But can you imagine the experience these young adults are having in the pool world? This is what I'm talking about. Love this.

It's a great experience for them for sure. My son loves to go to Nationals and he's made some really good friends there.

Cool logo.

Really like the lion on the 9-ball. I also noticed that two USA kids played. Surely there was a draw and it was just lucky . (Or unlucky for one). Watch out for Nick Evans from Missouri.
