World Pool Championships - Updates

Matchroom backed out of the WPC a few years ago, which is probably why it never existed last year. I have no idea who is behind the event this year, and in all honesty I know only what I've read on this forum over the past few weeks.

One thing I do know though, is that it will be held in Qatar for 3 more years.

The consensus was that the matches were to be filmed for live internet stream and for local broadcast, but the we have access to a feed of the local channel, and the WPC was never aired as intended. There was no live internet stream as intended either, which leads me to believe that the event isn't even being recorded...at all.

I'm assuming...but it certainly seems that way.

So Matchroom is out. I did not know that. Man, that's a shocker! :eek:

Gee, that means, though, that the World Pool Association is somehow involved in this, I would think, as it pertains to rankings and such.

I really would like to know who is the promoter of this event now. There's something rotten in Denmark -- I mean Qatar. :o

I think it is the Qatar Billiard & Snooker Federation.

The west coast will be happy...they named a whole city after him.

Well, he's just made a game win. Sometimes you need a little momentum when you're in a match like this. It's difficult to sit and watch the opponent do all the shooting, but that's pool sometimes.

It would be thrilling to have it a tight match! :)
