Mike Sigel on the women playing in the event.

"With this kind of format of course they can win matches. They've proved that plenty of times in other events that women can win matches against the men. But if the races were like to 50 playing 8-Ball or 9-Ball or a 1000 point straight pool game, well, they honestly wouldn't have a chance against a top men's pro. Even in this World 14.1 Championship format, they may win matches but I dont think they can win the tournament."

Randy Goldwater, the main patron sponsor of the event, on 14.1's future.

"Straight pool is here to stay, now. With the current renaissance and the games new custodians, I assure you that this genre IS BACK!"
