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.
