The Qatar 10-Ball World Cup, formerly known as the Qatar Open, returns from October 28 until November 2 as Poland’s Daniel Maciol defends his lucrative title at the Ezdan Palace Hotel in Doha.
Organised by the Qatar Billiards and Snooker Federation and sanctioned by the World Pool Association, the vast majority of the world’s elite names will be competing for an exceptional $450,000 prize fund.
Defending champion Maciol returns to the scene of his finest hour, having beaten Austria’s Mario He in December’s final, while the 128-player field will be headlined by WPA number one Alex Kazakis, Joshua Filler and Fedor Gorst.
One of this year’s strongest fields have assembled in the Qatari capital, also involving two-time world 10-ball champion Eklent Kaci, Shane van Boening, Carlo Biado, Wojciech Szewczyk, Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, Jayson Shaw and David Alcaide.
Other notable entrants include reigning world eight-ball champion Albin Ouschan, Denis Grabe, Moritz Neuhausen, Robbie Capito, Jonas Souto Comino and Naoyuki Oi, as well as Wiktor Zielinski, Max Lechner, Niels Feijen, Duong Quoc Hoang, Johann Chua and Hayato Hijikata.
AJ Manas, Kledio Kaci, Felix Vogel and Albert Januarta are the prodigiously-talented teenagers involved, while the Middle East will be strongly represented by the likes of Kuwait’s Bader Alawadhi, Syria’s Mohammad Soufi, Iraq’s Ameer Ali and Qatar’s own Ali Alobaidli.
The tournament will be double elimination, alternate break and race-to-nine until 64 players remain, before the format increases to race-to-11 through to the race-to-13 final, while coverage will be broadcast on the Qatar Billiard Sports Federation YouTube channel.
