Players invited to register for the Kremlin Cup 9-Ball Open

The Kremlin Cup has always been predominantly about the exacting game of Russian Pyramid - the exclusively Russian billiard game with ultra large white balls on the huge table with the toughest ball to pocket ratio of any cuesport, and it's impossible to stress enough how highly this event is regarded in Moscow, although the fact that it has been proudly called "the Wimbledon of Billiards" by one Russian pundit should give you an idea, and the first events were actually held inside the Kremlin Palace!

The Kremlin Cup was originally exclusive to invited Russian Pyramid players, but more recently the event has been opened up to international competitors, and although it's always been difficult to get results from this tournament, I do know that the 9-Ball event was won by Sandor Tot in 2005, and by Ruslan Chinakov in 2006 - and this year this televised event will feature participants from England, Holland, Germany, China, Italy, Sweden, Poland, the Philippines, Croatia and more!
