7th All Asian 8 Ball Tournament set for 4 October, Prize money to be donated to victims of Typhoon Ondoy


Autumn has begun and the AsianTours will commence this season with the 7th All Asian 8 Ball Tournament at the Centre Carougeois de Billard, on Sunday, 4 October at 2 pm. Like the previous tours, this one promises to be another exciting rack after rack battle between the Asian masters of pool.

After a magnificent performance in last month’s 8th All Asian 9 ball tour, the last month’s finalists Thailand’s Ken Nanakorn, Philippines’ Jimmy Menguita and Val Arceo, and Vietnam’s Tony Truong are all geared up to try their luck in this coming autumn tour. However, as we all know, the ball is round and it is the pool Gods that decide. And with more good players joining the tour, it becomes more and more difficult to predict who is going to win.


For this month's tournament, as an expression of solidarity with the Philippine community, the PBC-Geneva and the players have agreed that the usual prize money will instead be donated to the victims of last week's Typhoon Ondoy which has unleashed devastation for millions of people and has already claimed 277 lives. However, there will still be trophies for the finalists.


Again, the PBC-Geneva invites each and everyone to come and join us. For information and registration, please call: Jerry Quinto at 079.2636832 or Ken Nanakorn at 079-4336126 or e-mail us at pbc.geneva@yahoo.com.
