The WPA 8-ball World Cup 2010 (officially: WPA Damas World 8-Ball Championship in 2010 ) was the fifth staging of the of the World Pool-Billiard Association hosted world championship in billiards discipline 8-Ball . It took place on April 4th and 10th, 2010 at the Fujairah Tennis Center in Fujairah ( United Arab Emirates ).
The Englishman Karl Boyes became world champion with a 13:12 victory against the Dutchman Niels Feijen . Defending champion Ralf Souquet was eliminated in the round of 16 against Feijen.
mode
A total of 64 players from more than 30 nations took part in the tournament.
In the preliminary round, the number of players was reduced from 64 to 32. 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 win one game against another player who had won in the first round to advance to the final round. In the losers round, on the other hand, you first had to assert yourself against another player who had 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.
