WPA
President Ian Anderson today announced the successful conclusion of discussions
with organizers in the Middle East that have resulted in the creation of two
new International WPA Ranking events.
In
the Spring of 2011 the new Dubai Open will mark its initiation and then later
in the year the Emir Cup will be played in Doha, Qatar. These two new events
highlight the surge in popularity that the game of pocket billiards enjoys in
the region.

President Ian Anderson said: “The WPA feels itself quite fortunate to be
aligned with organizers of such high quality. We look forward to the opening of
these two new events with a great deal of excitement and wish to thank them for
the opportunities that their efforts are creating for professional billiard
players and their fans.”
More
details on these events, including field sizes, purses and dates will be
forthcoming.
