Predator World 10-Ball Championship Announced

Monday April 30, 2007
Photo (c) OnTheBreakNews.com 96 top players will converge in Jacksonville, Florida for the world's first "World 10-Ball Championships" May 22-27. The event, formally known as the "Predator Florida Open" was the first event produced by Dragon Productions, which currently promotes 40 international events annually (see related story below dated April 28).

Jacksonville's Bankshot Billiards is hosting the event. Bankshot guests enjoy this venue with its 25 tables inside a 10,000 sq. ft. upscale poolroom, awarded #3 Best New Room in 2005 by Billiards Digest Magazine.

A top field of players from as far as Germany, Sweden, Japan, South America and across the US will visit Jacksonville next month for this historic event.

"We think 10-Ball is the natural progression of 9-Ball evolving into a more skillful game. This is what the Predator World 10-Ball Championship is all about," said Cindy Lee, Dragon Productions President.

The third annual Southeast Junior Championships events will be held alongside the 10-ball event as well as amateur competition on 10 eight-foot Olhausen tables. Details can be found at Dragon Promotions' website or call (USA) 407-782-4978 for more.
