IBSF World Championship 2014, Bangalore 18-29 Nov

Postby roy142857

The IBSF World Snooker Championship will run from 18th to 29th November in Bangalore in Karnataka State, India.

I see supposed pro Rory Thor of Malaysia is entered for this, and not unexpectedly, former Pro Pankaj Advani of India - plus 108 other players in the sizeable mens field.

Countries represented are Afghanistan, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Cyprus, Egypt, England, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Libya, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mongolia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Thailand, UAE, USA and Wales.

A few of the players of note are Boonyarit Keattikun and 'Nook' Kritsanut of Thailand, Zhào Xīntóng (China), Lukas Kleckers (Germany) and Kamal Chawla (India).

British Isles entries

England - Ryan Causton, Nick Jennings, Sanderson Lam, John Whitty

Ireland - Josh Boileau, Jason Devaney, Michael Judge, Robert Murphy

Scotland - Michael Collumb, Gary Thomson

Wales - Gareth Allen, Jamie Clarke, Duane Jones

41 players in the Womens but it appears no entries from the British Isles

66 players entered in the Masters including Chuchart Trairattanapradit (aka Tai Pichit) of Thailand, Denmarks Rune Kampe and Glen Wilkinson (Australia)

British Isles masters entries:

England - Graham Beardmore, Wayne Brown, Danny Connolly

Ireland - Tom O'Driscoll, Keith Sheldrick, Stephen Walsh

Scotland - Derek Dudgeon, Craig MacGillivray

Wales - Gavin Lewis, Darren Morgan, Wayne Morgan, Alun Squire

Anthony Bonnar has been added to the Irish team for the Masters (for which there are now 72 players listed).

Regarding the Masters, I forgot to mention that Phisit Chandsri of Thailand is back to defend his title.

Draw's been made.

112 entries in the mens competition, so groups of 7 players, looks like top 4 in each group through to the Last 64.

Draw here - http://ibsf.info/turnieje/2014/ms/en/ms ... groups.php

Still 41 entries in the Women's competition, so 5 groups of 7 and one group of 6, top 4 in each group to the last 24 so guessing group winners and best 2 runners up get a bye in the first knockout round.

Draw here : http://ibsf.info/turnieje/2014/ms/en/ms ... groups.php

Masters entry list has reached 72, so 12 groups of 6, probably 4 from each group going on to last 48 with group winners and 4 best runners-up getting a bye.

And the schedule is now available, has to be read in conjunction with the draws.

http://ibsf.info/turnieje/2014/ms/en/ms ... hedule.php

Shows Mens Last 64s being played on Wednesday 26th whilst Masters and Women have the day off.

Lots of action on Thursday 27th as the Last 32 (Women Last 24) and Last 16 matches take place. then quarters and semis on Friday 28th and final on Saturday 29th.

All the number 1 players in each group get Tuesday 25th off whilst the number 1 players in groups A to D (Amir Sarkhosh, Mohsen Bukshaisha, 'Nook' Kritsanut and Gaz Allen) get both 24th and 25th off - an advantage as they get a break or a disadvantage as they get a gap away from being on the championship tables? I've no idea!

Scotland's Gary Thomson finds himself in Group B, which to me looks top to bottom the most competitive group, the other 6 players having a lot of experience at this level - Mohsen Bukshaisha (Qatar), Antonis Poullos (Cyprus), Laxman Rawat (India), Jurian Heusdens (Belgium), Mohamed Khairy (Egypt) and Rory Thor (Malaysia). I'd fancy any of them to beat at least 2 or 3 players from every other group with the possible exception of ...

Group N - which also looks a little loaded - with apologies to Tishan Samarasinghe of Sri Lanka, I think he's the one weaker player there, very unlucky draw for him - the group has Tomasz Skalski (Belgium), Ryan Thomerson (Australia), Omar Alkojah (Syria), Lukas Kleckers (Germany), Sundeep Gulati (India) and Mohamed Shehab (UAE), with 2 going home even though I'd fancy them to go through in nearly any other group ...

Pankaj Advani shouldn't have a problem with the opposition in Group H, but I'd think the battle between Au Chi Wai, Moh Keen Hoo, Paul Schopf and Lucky Vatnani for the other 3 places should be tight.

Not too sure where the opposition will come from for Gareth Allen and Sanderson Lam in Group D, they might not get as much of a challenge as would be good for their overall chances ... perhaps Qatar's Ali Alobaidli, but it looks to me the weakest group overall.

Whereas Ryan Causton needs to be careful in Group K where Dharminder Lilly (India), Jason Devaney (Ireland) and Siyavosh Mozayani (Iran) are all good players, but Nadir Khan Sultani (Afghanistan) and Lim Kok Leong (Malaysia) are both players who might just 'step up' too. I suspect Kusai Sharif of Libya is unlucky to have found himself in this group and will struggle.

Duane Jones and Iran's Ehsan Heydari Nezhad really shouldn't be too troubled in Group Q, but then the rest of the players all look pretty capable, just not quite at Jones' level - Kiashan Moodley (South Africa), Darren Paris (Switzerland), Mhanaa Alobaidli (Qatar), and India's Nitesh Madan and S Dilip Kumar (though I'd expect any of those 5 to struggle if in Group B or Group N).

Other players from the British Isles seem to be in groups where there's a drop off of quality with 3 or 4 weaker players so I don't expect to see Robert Murphy (Group A - Ireland), Nick Jennings (A - England), Michael Collumb (C- Scotland), Jamie Clarke (G - Wales), Michael Judge (J - Ireland), John Whitty (L - England) and Josh Boileau (R - Ireland) having much difficulty getting through, just a matter of winning enough matches for a good seeding. Whitty will face the challenge of a match against China's Zhào Xīntóng, one of the tournament favourites.

EDIT - Just took another look at Group R, and guess Josh Boileau should at least be a bit careful, the obvious threats are Adrian Ridley, Muhammad Asif and Soheil Vahedi, but they should be aware that whilst Sahil Nayyar and Balaj Reddy aren't top ranked Indian players, neither are a pushover. No idea how good or otherwise Fakhrie Gierdien of South Africa is, but top competition break of 128 isn't so bad.

Didnt Rory Thor qualify for the main tour for the next 2 years for winning the Asian Championships back in May?

Did he decline his card or using this event for competitive practice?

I can remember reading somewhere he was struggling for funding and stated he was aiming for the UK Championship (which hasnt happened :/)

I've been trying to find out, nothing that I could see on the Cueclubz blog that covers Malaysian snooker ... shame if he can't compete, somehow World Snooker ought to address this kind of issue if they're to show snooker is global, worthy of being in the Olympics etc ...

Anyone got a clue how the Indian players were chosen / selected for this ? There's most of the obvious names, then a selection of other players - was there a qualifying competition? The news report (from the Odisha Sun Times) I've seen says four players were selected for direct entry, which implies some sort of qualifying for everyone else ...

Players and their Cue Sports India rankings (noting Aditya Mehta is No.1):

2 Pankaj Advani
3 Kamal Chawla
4 Brijesh Damani
5 Dharminder Lilly
6 Faisal Khan

Not that surprised to see not a single player left unbeaten in Group B, what a strong group but 3 good players won't make the Last 64, hope those that do have the mental energy left for the knock-out stages, most of their rivals will have been coasting.

Men
A Tetsuya Kuwata (Japan) 4 - 2 Nick Jennings (England)
(Kuwata break of 103)

Despite this win and two other wins, Kuwata misses out on frame difference, through to the knockout stage are Amir Sarkhosh (Iran), Shivam Arora (India), Nick Jennings (England) and Robert Murphy (Ireland)

B Rory Thor (Malaysia) 4 - 2 Antonis Poullos (Cyprus)

Thor is through. A win against Jurian Heusdens tomorrow would put Laxman Rawat of India through, a loss could see him go out. A 4-1 win for Mohamed Khairy of Egypt against Scotland's Gary Thomson would result in a 3 way tie on wins and frame difference between Khairy, Antonis Poullos (Cyprus) and Mohsen Bukshaisha (Qatar) - not certain how that would be resolved, but in matches between the three Bukshaisha has 2 wins, Poullos 1 win and Khairy none - so guessing that order and Khairy therefore needing a 4 - 0 win tomorrow unless Rawat loses.
