IBSF World Championship cancelled?

Postby roy142857 » 04 Oct 2012 Read

Looking likely that the IBSF World Championship won't be held this year as the Egyptian hosts have withdrawn, citing concerns about not being able to guarantee the safety of the players. Real shame.

Guessing they will look for alternate venues, but such a big tournament at short notice with need for venue and accommodation, I wouldn't be too optimistic ...

I gotta say I wouldn't be lining up to attend a snooker event in the ME.

Just my opinion but someone's bound to publish another Mohammed cartoon and voila, you're in a life or death situation.

Just not culturally compatible with western ideals, they need another couple hundred years.
