aus: Hugo Kastner: SNOOKER – Spieler, Regeln & Rekorde Update: April 2010 Ergänzung: Bild Ladies World Championship Reanne Evans Allison Fisher Karen Corr Bis Mitte der Achtzigerjahre gab es keine offizielle Weltmeisterschaft für Frauen. Allerdings wurde allgemein die Siegerin der Women’s World Open als beste Spielerin der Welt anerkannt. Ab 1985 dominierten für lange Zeit die beiden herausragenden Spielerinnen Allison Fisher aus England und Karen Corr aus Nordirland die Szene. Knapp vor der Jahrtausendwende übernahm dann Kelly Fisher die Herrschaft im Damensnooker. Seit 2005 hat die Engländerin Reanne Evans den Ladies Thron inne, wobei jedes Jahr eine neue Finalgegnerin zu bezwingen war.

Contact: Mike Panozzo United States Billiard Media Association 312-341-1110 [email protected] Rob Johnson Billiard Congress of America 303-243-5070 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Germany’s Thorsten Hohmann Elected to Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame Superior, Colo., July 12, 2021 — The Billiard Congress of America (BCA) Hall of Fame will welcome a three-time world champion and the winningest straight-pool player of a generation to the Hall of Fame class of 2021. The United States Media Association (USBMA) today announced that German-born Thorsten Hohmann has earned induction into the sport’s most prestigious club. Hohmann, who will turn 42 on July 14, narrowly edged Philippines star Dennis Orcullo in voting and will enter the Greatest Players wing of the BCA Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony will take place on Friday, Oct. 29, at the Norfolk Sheraton Waterside Hotel in Norfolk, Va., in conjunction with the 2021 International Open. In addition to Hohmann, the 2021 BCA Hall of Fame Banquet will also feature the formal induction ceremony for women’s world champion Kelly Fisher. Fisher was elected to the hall in 2020, but no ceremony was held due to COVID-19 restrictions. “You’re pranking me, right?,” Hohmann said when informed of his election. The response was not unexpected from Hohmann, who despite his impressive resume has been routinely passed over in conversations about the best players of his generation. “The past 10 years I haven’t been as visible,” Hohmann admitted. “I know that when the question of who the greatest players are my name doesn’t come up immediately.

Official Rules of the BCA Pool League
2010-2011 Official Rules of the BCA Pool League Our Goal To create and improve opportunities for pool players of all abilities through fair governance and equitable policies. Effective June 1, 2010 BCA Pool League 2041 Pabco Road Henderson, NV 89011 (702) 719-7665 OFFICIAL RULES OF THE BCA POOL LEAGUE www.playbca.com Copyright 2010 BCA Pool League A Message from Mark Griffin Welcome to the 2010-2011 edition of the Official Rules of the BCA Pool League (BCAPL). Our organization has received widespread praise for having the most detailed and clear set of rules in the industry. Comments from players, officials and league operators are overwhelmingly in favor of our approach to presenting rules that guarantee consistency in enforcement throughout all league competition and tournaments. Mike Shamos, resident rules guru for Billiards Digest and one of pool’s most respected individuals, wrote: “The Official Rules of the BCA Pool League are the most extensive set of rules in history, and for the first time they are accompanied by interpretive decisions. The “Applied Rulings” section deserves serious study. It is of course impossible to write a rule set that deals with every conceivable happenstance. Even the USGA rules don’t try to do that. Therefore, referees and tournament directors must be guided by interpretations so they can make intelligent rulings when new situations arise. I’m not declaring their rules to be perfect, but they try to be. The rules themselves and their interpretations have been given a great deal of thought, and the reasoning behind them is not hidden but is right there on the page.
