The World Cup in 9-Ball 2010 was the nineteenth edition of this tournament and took place between June 29 and July 5, 2010 in Doha ( Qatar ). The World Championship, which actually takes place annually, was organized by the WPA ( World Pool-Billiard Association ) after it was not held in 2008 and 2009 for organizational reasons .

Francisco Bustamante of the Philippines became world champion with a 13: 7 final victory over Kuo Po-Cheng .

mode

A total of 128 players took part in the tournament.

The game was played with an alternating break. This means that the players take turns to kick off (2007 was still played with a winner break).

In the preliminary round, the number of players was reduced from 128 to 64. The game was initially played in a double knockout system . This means: After the first game, the players were divided into a winning round and a losing round. Whoever was in the winning round only had to prevail in one game against another player who had won in the first round to get to the final round. In the losers round, however, you first had to assert yourself against another player who lost in the first game and then win against a loser from the winning round.

Even if this system is relatively complicated, it guarantees every player to be able to lose a game in the preliminary round without having to be eliminated from the tournament immediately. The second lost game within the preliminary round will in any case lead to elimination from the tournament.

In the final round it was then played in the knockout system , so every defeat led to elimination from the tournament.

Preliminary round

The preliminary round lasted from June 29th to July 2nd.

The following 32 players have won once and lost twice in the preliminary round, which means early elimination and places 65 to 96.
