The World Pool Series is proud to announce that registration for the Predator Grand Final has been opened. The Predator Grand Final will take place in Steinway Billiards, Astoria, Queens, New York City from January 17-20, 2019.
After a poll on the WPS Facebook page, the fans have decided that the players will be playing 10-Ball during the final event of the 2018 season. With 62%, it was a convincing win for one of the newer disciplines in the pool world and one which has won over the hearts of many fans and players.
With just over $10,000 collected over the first three tournaments, the sponsors will be adding money to take the total added monies to the prize pool up to $25,000 in total. The WPS has taken on the feedback received over the season from the players and fans which prompted us to change the format of the whole tournament. The Grand Final has now been opened up to players of all levels which will be divided into two tiers (organizer’s discretion will be final):
- Tier 1 has been set up for the professional and semi-professional players which will give them access to the Grand Final and the chance to win the estimated first-place prize of $10,000 (based on a field of 128 players).
- Tier 2 gives amateurs, ladies, juniors under 18, and league players a chance to compete against some of the best players in the world for a reduced entry fee. But that’s not all, their entry fee also includes an entry for the Poison Challenge Event which is only open for Tier 2 players who have participated in the Grand Final which will have an estimated prize pool of $2,000.
