69th Predator World Straight Pool Championship

Qualifiers will be held for the Predator 69th World Straight Pool Championship for any player wishing to participate in the biggest and most prestigious straight pool title in the world. Ozone Billiards presents the greatest 14.1 players on Earth at Comet Billiards in Parsippany, New Jersey on August 24-29, 2009. In this fourth installment from Dragon Promotions, the greatest straight pool players from around the world will arrive on USA's shores again to New Jersey, and attend this prestigious event to play for the coveted title of World Straight Pool Champion.

Two winners will be determined at each qualifier which will give them a free entry into the main event. Those players will have earned the right to play against such straight pool giants as Niels Feijen NED, Oliver Ortmann GER, John Schmidt USA, Jasmin Ouschan AUT, Danny Harriman USA, Allen Hopkins USA, Thorsten Hohmann GER and many more. The 69th World Tournament for 14.1 is continued only because of generous support of straight pool enthusiasts such as Stu Mattana, Harold Siegel, and an array of billiard companies such as Predator, Ozone Billiards, Brunswick Billiards, and Simonis Cloth.

"I have been around serious pool for forty years, and all my roots lie in straight pool. My father was an avid straight pooler, and I counted both Irving Crane and Jack Colavita as influences and close friends in my youth. I find 14.1 to be the most elegant of all games over the glorious green felt, and I'm proud to play a role in helping to sustain its recent reemergence in America," said Stuart Mattana. Mattana is widely regarded as a pool advocate and historian, and is currently a WPBA Board of Directors member.
