Premier League Pool returns from Thursday as the fifth edition of the World Nineball Tour invitational takes place from March 20-27, held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina for the first time.
Six of the world’s top ten will compete in the unique round robin event as defending champion Shane van Boening headlines the 16-player field alongside the likes of Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, Jayson Shaw, Aloysius Yapp, Eklent Kaci and Johann Chua.
Former semi-finalist Sanjin Pehlivanovic is the only other player not making their Premier League debut, as UK Open champion Robbie Capito, recent European Open semi-finalist Pijus Labutis, Moritz Neuhausen and Tyler Styer step into the arena.
Duong Quoc Hoang and Bui Truong An will represent Vietnam as Edward Koyongian makes history for Indonesia, while teenagers Kledio Kaci and Albert Manas also received invitations, the latter being pool’s most followed player on social media.
All 16 players will face each other once across the first five days play, after which the bottom six in the league table will be eliminated, before the remaining ten players face one another again across days six and seven.
An additional four players will then be eliminated ahead of the remaining six players renewing rivalries on the eighth day. Four players will contest the play-offs following the conclusion of the final league matches to determine the champion.
All matches will be race-to-five, alternative break in a format identical to the famous Mosconi Cup, with the Kaci brothers from Albania clashing in the stand-out match on the opening afternoon.
Table One and Table Two coverage will be broadcast live on WNT TV for subscribers across the eight days, including the semi-finals and final on the evening of Thursday, March 27.
