MANILA---The Marboys cue artists squad has been formed to compete in the 2nd Universal Chinese Taipei 9-Ball Open Pool Championship to be held on January 10-12 at the Hulk Billiards Flagship Hall in Ximending, Taipei, Taiwan.

Marboys Billiards Club is sponsored by Cuelees, Omin Cues, Andy Premier, How Tips and latest addition Turning Point Chalk.
"Our Filipino cue athletes have proven their excellence and ability to win medals in cue sports, like in the World Cup of Pool in Europe. We want to build on that momentum and further strengthen men’s participation through this event,” said Mr. JR Velasco, top honcho of the famous Marboys Billiards Club.
The champion will win a trophy and a cash prize of US10,000, while the runner-up will receive US5,000 and a trophy as the third and fourth placers will each pocket US 2,500 and trophies.
