Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the tournament was held without spectators. Due to quarantine regulations in his hometown of Rostov-on-Don , the two-time world champion Iossif Abramov had to cancel his participation first.

On the morning of the second meeting ( Valeryj Tschyschou - Diana Mironowa ), the venue, the Sports Palace in Moscow's Krylatskoje district , was closed at short notice due to Corona. The game was therefore moved to the Legend Billiard Club , Mironova's homeland club. After the match, the tournament was suspended indefinitely.

On June 4th the world association IPC announced that the tournament would continue on June 9th. The reigning world champion Semyon Saizew , who was supposed to play the first match after the restart, had to cancel his participation due to the quarantine regulations in Chelyabinsk . He was replaced by Iossif Abramov, who has since returned to Moscow.

final

In the final, the Kyrgyz Asis Madaminow met the Russian Iossif Abramow .

The game was one-sided. In the first five games Madaminow scored a total of only three points. Only the sixth game turned out to be more balanced. But Abramov also won this rack, this time with 8: 4 points. In the following game Abramov prevailed 8-0, which he won the final 7-0 and became the first Russian to win the Champions Cup.
