The 2016 WPA World Nine-ball Championship was the 25th edition of the 9-Ball pool World Championships. It took place from July 30 to August 4, 2016 in the al-Attiya Sports Arena of the Al-Arabi Sports Club in Doha. The Qatari capital was the seventh time in a row the venue for the 9-Ball Championships. [2]

Contents

Albin Ouschan defeated American Shane Van Boening 13–6 in the final and became the first Austrian 9-ball world champion. [3] This was the third Austrian World pool champion, after Gerda Hofstätter won the Women's WPA World Nine-ball Championship in 1995, and Oushchan's sister Jasmine Ouschan who won the WPA World Ten-Ball Championship in 2010. [4]

The defending champion was Taiwanese player Ko Pin-yi, who lost to Jayson Shaw in the last 64.

Format

The tournament was attended by 128 players, of which the top 24 players in the world rankings qualified automatically. A total of 92 starting places were awarded according to a quota by the continental and regional associations as well as the hosting Qatari association and event sponsors. From July 25 to 28, 2016, a qualifying tournament was held in which 128 participants played in three knockout competitions for the remaining 12 starting places. [5]

In the main tournament, the 128 participants were first divided into 16 groups of 8 players and competed there from July 30 to August 1 in the double knockout system against each other. Four players in each group qualified for the final round. This took place from August 2 to 4 and was played in the knockout system. [6]

The event was played in the change break format, and with the triangle of balls were moved up the table, so that the 9-ball was placed where the 1 ball would usually be placed.
