WPA Bans 245 Players

[Bob Jewett]

Well, I guess this is the shoe we were waiting for...

So ridiculous. They are digging their own grave.

Good riddance...

[Fatboy]

I’m confused

 

[JAM]

Talk about shooting themselves in the foot. And asking the pro to pay them $500 after a 6-month ban is the icing on the cake. Buy-bye, WPA! You have now made yourself a complete pariah in the pool world. Well done!

 

[Mensabum]

Many serious heavyweights in that list.
The fit has hit the shan.

I see the Hearn-Sandman Cup on the horizon...

 

[ctran]

hold the beer...

now that those are banned from WPA events, they can still play in non-WPA sanctioned events... conveniently the Pro Billiards Series Puerto Rico

there will be a new category of events "non-WPA sanctioned but it's okay" so that WPA-banned players will still compete

WPA has made themselves more and more irrelevant

yea it could be that predator have their non-WC events unsanctioned. it would make sense

 

[Zerksies]

One day they will regret that decision

 

[straightline]

It's a massacre. Comical.

 

[ak1975]

This sounds bad for business

 

[Island Drive]

Finally.... a line in the ''concrete''.

 

[Vahmurka]

I see the Hearn-Sandman Cup on the horizon...

Let them do that at a boxing ring. Barry built his media empire on that, so must be pretty prolific. And Sandman has been a pro hockey player. "Let's get ready to RRRRRRRrumbleee!"

 

[Vahmurka]

Gonna screnshot or d'load the current WPA ranking list, just to compare the changes coming up. If the banned players are really to lose all their points.

 

[Zerksies]

Good luck collecting the $122,500.00 its going to cost you more then that in the long run.

 

[VVP]

What are the affected events? I see Mosconi Cup and International Open listed on the WPA's calendar.

This is pure bullshit due to the grandstanding between Matchroom and WPA where the players are the losers.

 

[Vahmurka]

entry #240 is a Taipei player mistakenly listed under EPBF. So there is actually one European less and one Asian more.

 

[Vahmurka]

Now I foresee a cunning move by current WPA partners (Pred Group), making all of their events, guess what, take your time... ... ... non-WPA-sanctioned!!! Welcome back everyone.

Actually it is MR to blame. They got offended their ranking for 9-ball was rejected by WPA as 'the one and only". and then all the bs started. The vassal wanted to become the king.

At the WCBS general assembly the billiard federations voted and the consequences served.
