Iniurong na sa buwan ng Enero ang World Pool Championship, na orihinal na naka-schedule sana ngayong Oktubre.
Una nang nakuha ng Matchroom Pool ang rights para maging host ng nasabing torneyo, na sanctioned ng World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA).
Ngunit itinakda na lamang sa susunod na taon ang tumbukan dahil sa nararanasan pa ring coronavirus pandemic.
“The World Pool Championship is a prestigious event and should be the most important event on the calendar for professional pool players. Following our acquisition, we are extremely eager and excited to stage the event, however it is our first time and we are focused on making it right. The event will boast 128 of the top male and female players across the globe, it is important that all 128 deserving players are able to participate and are not restricted by the current climate,” pahayag ni Emily Frazer, chief operating officer ng Matchroom Pool.
“With the second half of 2020 filling up with postponed live sport and especially Matchroom Multi Sport events, moving the World Pool Championship to the new year also gives us space to make room for other tournaments.”
