Players? Draw? Thanks

Junior World 9-Ball Championship
Sands Regency Hotel
Reno, NV
November 30 - December 3, 2008
 
The draws are done for boys and girls (wheelchairs tomorrow).

Watched Ko warm up some and he looked very good. Then I watched Banares warm up. He looked MUCH better.

Ko looked like he was trying to work out the table. Banares looked ready to go.

Ko and Banares are on opposite sides of the board. First major marquee match could me Austin vs Landon is round 3.

We will be streaming matches from the event. Might start tomorrow. Might wait til Tuesday to start the streaming.

They are working on the brackets for the WPA site now. Should be online soon.

Thank you for the report Mike. Is Little Jonas there too? Jericho should do good too basing from his recent performance. Go Team Philippines!

Is that Ko Pin Yi? If it is, then he and Banares will be the ones to beat. I don't think any of our kids have a chance with them. These guys are pros! Landon may be that good one day, maybe in 2-3 years.

Yeah Adam goes to ASU. Hes not a pro but the level he plays at when he knows the other guy is.... I'm just sayin I wouldnt be surprised if he comes out with some strong playing.
 
Jonas plays Austin at 2:30 today. That should be a fun one to watch. We are hoping to have this internet connection stable enough to stream that one.

Wonder why John Morra didn't enter. He's only 19. He would have a chance against the Chinese and Filipinos.
John hasn't played the last 2 years to give our other Canadian Junior players a chance to go to a world championship event. He played in the Canadian Junior Championship until Jason Klatt could no longer play. After that if would just be going through the motions for him to qualify and wouldn't really be competing.
