  • Villar Pushes Senate Commendation for Orcollo’S China Open Win
    Office of Sen. Manny Villar Rm. 503, Senate of the Philippines, GSIS Financial Center, Pasay City 552-6601 to 80 loc. 6507, 6508 and 6511 ● 7 552-6734 ● www.senatorvillar.com NEWS RELEASE 19 September 2012 Villar pushes Senate commendation for Orcollo’s China Open win Sen. Manny Villar lauded Dennis Orcollo, one of the country’s top billiards players, for winning the 2012 China Open held in Shanghai recently. “Orcollo’s win solidifies the Filipino’s dominance over billiards. For years, more and more Filipinos are getting international fame in this sport and like boxing, people are seeing billiards as the Filipino’s game,” Villar said. Villar authored Proposed Senate Resolution No. 875 commending Orcollo for beating Chinese-Taipei’s Lu Hui Chan with the 11-9 score. Orcollo branded the win, his first in a Chinese pro event, as the most special win of his career. Previously, Orcollo won in some of the biggest pool tournaments in the world, including the World Pool League, World Pool Masters, Derby City Classics, US Bar Table and Billiards Congress of America. “Billiards now matches the popularity of basketball among Filipinos, especially the youth. Support for this sport should be encouraged and enhanced,” Villar said. In 2009, Villar started the Villards Cup which provided budding billiards players a venue to compete against amateur players and play alongside veteran players like Orcollo, Efren ‘Bata Reyes, Alex Pagulayan, Ronnie Alcano, Django Bustamante, Gandy Valle, Warren Kiamco, Lee Van Corteza, Ramil Gallego, Roberto Gomez and others. This year, the Cup will resume on September 23 at Starmall San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan.

  • Presseaussendung
    Presseaussendung 21.03.2021 22:53, Andreas Kronlachner Predator Championship League Pool Österreichs Billard Stars Jasmin und Albin Ouschan freuen sich auf die Fortsetzung des internationalen Sport-Betriebs. Das Geschwister Duo erhielt einen Startplatz bei der Predator Championship League Pool, die vom 22. ? 29. März in Milton Keynes, England, ausgetragen wird. In dem von Sport-Promotor Matchroom Pool neu geschaffenen 9-Ball Spielformat wird unter dem exklusiven Kreis von 19 Teilnehmern in sieben Vorrundengruppen und einer Finalgruppe ein Preisgeld-Topf in Höhe von 85.950 US Dollar verteilt. Die sieben Vorrundengruppen und die Finalgruppe umfassen jeweils sieben Spieler, die zuerst im Round-Robin-System (Jeder-Gegen-Jeden) in einem Match auf 5 Gewinnspiele (Race-to-5) gegeneinander antreten. Die vier bestplatzierten Spieler nach der Round-Robin-Phase ermitteln anschliessend im Gruppen-Semifinale und Finale ebenfalls in "Race-to-5" Begegnungen den Gruppensieger. Die Vorrundengruppensieger schaffen den Sprung in die Finalrunde, wo nach dem gleichen Modus der Gesamtsieger ermittelt wird. In den Vorrunden-Gruppen scheidet der nach der Round-Robin-Phase letztplatzierte Spieler aus. Die restlichen Spieler erhalten in der nächsten Vorrundengruppe eine weitere Chance. Von Vorrundengruppe zu Vorrundengruppe wird das Feld mit jeweils zwei neuen Teilnehmern aufgefüllt, die den ausgeschiedenen Spieler bzw. den Gruppensieger ersetzen. Spannendes Monster-Programm "Das ist ein sehr spezielles Format. Man hat an jedem Tag zumindest 6 Matches. Das kurze Ausspielziel ist sehr spannend für die Zuschauer und es gibt aufgrund der Stärke des Feldes keinen wirklichen Favoriten. Es kann auch sein, dass man ein echtes Monster-Programm über mehrere Tage hinweg zu absolvieren hat". "Ich nehme mir vor ganz einfach von Match zu Match zu denken und möglichst rasch Rückschläge hinter mir zu lassen.
