World Cup of Pool 2007
The World Cup of Pool 2007 was the second edition of a pool tournament in the 9-ball discipline that has been held annually since 2006 , in which each participating country is represented by a team of two players. In 2007 it took place at the Outland in Rotterdam , the Netherlands, from September 25th to 30th. The team from China won the final with 11:10 against the Finnish team.
regulate
The game was played with an alternating break. This means that it takes turns to kick, regardless of who won the previous rack.
In 2007, the game was played up to the round of 16 until a team had won eight games ( racks ), in the quarter-finals the number of racks required to win was increased to nine and in the final to eleven.
Furthermore, a so-called shot clock was used, which does not allow the players to wait longer than 40 seconds with their shot. However, you have the option to announce an extension once per rack, which gives you another 40 seconds more time for the push.
