30th WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS BILLIARD ARTISTIC

 Serdar GÜMÜS - World Champion Billiard Artistic 2012

YASAR DOGU SPORTS CENTER             September 12th - 16th, 2012 Samsun/Turkey

Comments:
1. There were roumors about the participation of Mexican participants.
"It is possible that the UMB will not allow Mexican players to participate at the WC Artistic because the Mexican organisation of the World cup three cushion 2011 gave back the organisation because of security reasons in the tournament town"
This rumour is bullshit and illegal. If there were less CPB players, the reason is money.
2. Unfortunately the Dutch Federation were to stupid to inscribe more than 3 players, so van Mil as Dutch#4 and/or Sezer as #6 are scammed fortheir participation. (at the WC in Kastamonu there were 4 Dutch players, Jonen was not defending Champion and since the WC in Kastamonu there were no changements in the reglement. The Netherland brings in the World- and European Champion, so there were at least 4 places for them).
3. to publish the participation list 19 days before the championships makes it not easy to get cheap flights. Its the players money, so the UMB doesn´t care.
4. Theoretically the Turkish Federation could get 3 seeded players: one CEB place because Yaman is #1 at the CEB-ranking, 1 TBF Wildcard and 1 UMB Wildcard.
5. The lucky guys are the Spanish players. The reason why Fonellosa gets a seeded place (without wildcard!) is unknown, but respected to his playing level justified (but not regulated). Juan Carlos can play because of pt.2
6. So as every time it is not comprehensible how the UMB choose the participants. There have to be a 3rd French player, Hammen as 2nd of the French Championships. (because Reverchon is #2 at the CEB-ranking)
