The WPA pool team world championship 2010 (English: World Team Championship 2010 ; WTC 2010 for short ) was a tournament sanctioned by the World Pool Billiards Association , which took place from January 30, 2010 to February 6, 2010 in Hanover as part of the ABF fair took place.
A total of US $ 398,000 in prize money was distributed, with the winning team receiving US $ 100,000.
Team United Kingdom 1 won with a 4-1 final victory over the Philippines. The semi-finalists came - relatively surprisingly - from Russia and Greece. The two German teams were eliminated in the quarter-finals and the second round; Switzerland also in the quarter-finals and Austria already in the preliminary round.

Participating states of the WTC 2010
In contrast to the long-standing individual world championships in the various pool sub-disciplines, this world championship is the first time that each nation is represented by a four to six-member national team. Only one national team per nation is allowed to start, with the exception of hosts Germany, Great Britain and Israel. The latter two were nominated after the teams from Nigeria and Brunei canceled.
The three pool disciplines 8-ball , 9-ball and 10-ball are played . Each match consists of six sets; two in each of the disciplines. The 8-ball sets are played in doubles to 6 racks. The 9-ball and 10-ball sets are played individually to a target of 8 or 7 racks. If it comes to a 3: 3, the winner is determined by ejection.
The tournament will initially be played in the double knockout system . That means: After the first game, the teams are divided into the winning round and the losing round. Whoever is in the winning round only has to prevail in one game against another team that had won in the first round to get to the final round. In the losers round, on the other hand, you have to assert yourself against another team that 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 team 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 of the last 16 players will then play in the knockout system , so every defeat leads to immediate elimination from the tournament.
