With 128 players from 46 countries competing for the $60,000 first-place prize and the world crown, this year’s tournament promises to be an exciting and closely contested competition. The top 64 players from the Nineball World Rankings will be matched up against unseeded players from the other 64 in the hat, with standout first round ties including 2015 world champion Ko Pin Yi facing James Aranas of the Philippines, and 2022 semi-finalist Abdullah Alyousef facing the tricky prospect of Johann Chua.

2004 world champion Alex Pagulayan was unseeded and will meet Michael Schneider in the first round, while World Cup of Pool winner David Alcaide takes on Billy Thorpe and Shane Wolford’s mission for a spot on Team USA at the 2023 Mosconi Cup takes on Pia Filler. Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, who had a year to remember last year, will begin his Nineball campaign against So Shaw of Iran.

Double elimination matches are all race to 9, with all matches from the Last 64 a race to 11, except for the final, which is a race to 13. With such a strong field of players, this year’s tournament is sure to be a thrilling competition, with many exciting matches to come.
