What have the players said about the Reyes Cup?
At a press conference in Hanoi yesterday to promote the event, Jayson Shaw, Britain’s top pool player, delivered the first bit of fighting talk of the tournament, downplaying any impact of Team Asia’s recent success. (Johann Chua, one of Team Asia’s players, recently won the Mansion Sports Hanoi Open Pool Championship in Vietnam.)
Shaw said “I don’t think Team Asia will have more momentum than us. We had a great run in the [Mansion Sports Hanoi Open Pool Championship in Vietnam] ourselves last week. When the fans are here and it’s a race to five, the pressure is on. You can play as good as you want and when you step out into that arena, forget about it.”
How is the winner decided?
The Reyes Cup is a race to 11 points, like in the Mosconi Cup.
Unlike the Ryder Cup in golf where all scheduled matches are played to a finish, the Reyes Cup will conclude once a team reaches 11 points.
What is the format?
There will be five players on each team competing in a mix of doubles and singles matches, with each match being a first-to-five frames. The competition will be 9-ball pool, where the object ball is the lowest numbered ball on the table. The first team to pot the 9-ball wins.
