Samstag, 03. September 1:04 | 0 x gelesen | 0 Kommentare Hohmann gewinnt 14-1 World-Tournament Turnierbericht 14-1 World-Tournament von Thomas Ramseyer - swissbillard.ch In verschiedenen Formen und unter verschiedenen Patronaten wird in den USA seit Jahrzehnten ein grosses 14-1 Pool Turnier gespielt. In den 90er Jahren fand es in New-York statt und lief unter dem Namen US Open 14-1. Seit 2006 wird das Turnier von Dragon-Promotions in New-Brunswick (NJ) ausgetragen. Der Name World Straight Pool Championship wurde in World-Tournament abgeändert. Es handelt sich um keine offizielle 14-1 Weltmeisterschaft, hat aber quasi diesen Charakter, da kein anderes vergleichbares Turnier gespielt wird. Tausende von Kugel in den Gruppenspielen Gespielt wurde in acht Achtergruppen. Jeweils die besten vier qualifizierten sich für ein 32 KO Finaltableau. Die ehemals dominierenden US-Amerikaner hatten das Geschehen schon vor 20 Jahren aus der Hand gegeben, seither wird 14-1 hauptsächlich von Europäern dominiert. Oliver Ortmann gewann das Turnier im letzten Jahr und auch 2007. Der diesjährige Sieger Thorsten Hohmann reüssierte auch schon 2006 als das Turnier erstmals von Dragon Promotions ausgerichtet wurde. Die Amerikaner kamen immer nahe an den Final, scheiterten jedoch regelmässig in der letzten Runde. Jonny Archer wurde 2009 dritter, genau wie Danny Harriman 2007 oder Max Eberle im Jahr zuvor. Zeitweilig wurde das Turnier in einem Damen und einem Herrenfeld ausgetragen, das ist schon lange nicht mehr der Fall. Dieses Mal waren keine Damen eingeschrieben, doch 2008 wurde Jasmin Ouschan sensationell dritte. Beim Stande von 142:11 hat Alex Pagulayan diesen Break-Ball verschossen.
