I'm not sure if this is possible actually, we need two players from 'O' towns.
I'll alter the question a bit if it proves impossible, but let's see how it goes first.

Scratch this. I think the question is too difficult.
Same question, but you can choose any snooker related term to make your word.

I like it.
But I'm looking for the first letter of players' hometowns making a word that is a snooker related term

false or true, if you sing the name of hong kong based snooker player marco fu to the tune of macho man by the village people, he will magically appear in your house offering a tin of egg rolls?

So, can you name 16?

Don't think the Romanian tournament was a ranker, and it is possible all tournaments in southern Ireland were invitational - the much-missed Irish Masters certainly was - so I'l take those out and replace them with Canada and Bulgaria...

There hasn't been a tournament in Duba. In fact, we are still waiting for it to become a country.

Correct!
By the way, I can't believe how many I missed.
Not sure if anyone mentioned France, but it was one of the places I was thinking of.
