For most of its existence the World Pool Masters has been a 16-player invitational event but in 2012, the tournament will consist of 64 players competing over five days. Initially, the format will be double elimination to halve the field from 64 to 32 players. From there the event will be played to a single elimination format.
The 64-player field will consist of invited players and qualifiers in countries such as Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Holland, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan and USA.
In addition, a pre-event qualifying tournament will take place in the town or city of the main event to give everyone, including local players, an opportunity to win a spot in the World Pool Masters.
The field would not be exclusively for male players; we will reserve a number of spots in the main event for some of the biggest names in ladies’ pool.
