Students to join Bali Open billiards
November 25th, 2008
JAKARTA: The 2008 International Bali Open billiard tournament, to be held next week, will include the top four finishers from the A Mild Students League.
“The best four will be sent to Bali to join the international tourney as second-level participants in the main round, which means they don’t have to go through the qualifying rounds,” Soedarjanto, secretary-general of the Indonesian Billiards and Snooker Association, said Sunday.
“That’s a good reward for them as it may lead them to a professional path,” he said on the sidelines of the league final at Berlian Billiard in Jakarta, which featured 16 finalists.
The first two editions of the Bali Open, in 2005 and 2006, were won by Filipino Francisco Bustamante. The open did not take place in 2007 because of financial troubles.
This year’s event will run from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6. –JP/Niken Prathivi
