THE LATEST SPORTS NEWS – The 2012 World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) World 10 Ball Championship will finally push through to a new date on November 19 to 25. Its venue will be the SM North EDSA Skydome in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.

Event organizer PRISMRaya Sports previously postponed said event from its original date on October 9 to 14 due to lack of necessary equipment. The organizer sought to compensate by organizing another event – the WPA World Pool Summit scheduled on November 26 to 28 and December 1 to 4.

After the events, the WPA will announce its winners for the 2012 Male and Female Player of the Year.

The Philippines has hosted all three previous WPA World 10 Ball Championship events since it first started in 2008. WPA President Ian Anderson called Metro Manila, the capital of the country, as “the best place to go in hosting pool”, labelling the city as “the pool Mecca in Asia”.
