World Pool League Back In PolandAs in previous years, the event will be televised live on Wizja Sport in Poland as well as syndicated by promoters Matchroom Sport around the world as 15 x two hour programmes. The new expanded format of the World Pool League will mean that instead of one group of six players, there will be two groups of four and Matchroom Sport have endeavoured to bring the highest quality line-up of stars from around the world to Warsaw. They include; the current World Champion, the World Games Champion, the 2001 European Champion, the Polish Champion, the reigning World Pool League Champion, the 2000 World Player of the Year, the former six-times World Snooker Champion and the reigning World Masters Champion. Commented Matchroom Sport Chairman Barry Hearn, " We are delighted to be bringing this championship back to Warsaw for the fourth time. It will be a new venue for us but in previous years the crowds in Poland have been fantastic. I don't think you could find a stronger line-up of players and I expect the standard of pool to be outstanding." As in previous years, tickets for the five sessions of the World Pool League are FREE. Tables for the World Championship are provided by Brunswick, cloth by Simonis, balls by Saluc and racks by Lou Sardo Products. The World Pool League is sanctioned by the WPA. For further information contact Luke Riches 01708 782212 / 07785 395688 The World Pool League consists of eight players split into two groups of four. Each player plays the other three players in his group once playing each other once, making a total of 6 matches in each group and 12 matches in total in the League programme. Each match is played over 10 racks. All racks to be played with alternate breaks. Two points will be awarded for each match won and one point for a 5 - 5 draw. At the completion of the League section, the top two players in each group will move forward into the play-offs. In the event of two players finishing on the same number of points the player scoring the most racks overall will take the higher position. If there is still a tie, then the result of their respective match will determine the position. The players who finish top of their groups will face the second placed players in the opposing groups in the semi-finals.
