There will be over half a million dollars in prize money across the professional events, which are the Las Vegas Men’s Open, Las Vegas Women’s Open, new Apex Mixed Doubles, Predator WPA World 10-Ball Men’s Championship and the PBS Women’s Showdown. The Showdown will begin with a round-robin group stage. Each group will include two seeded players from the WPA top eight and two invited players. The best two players from each group will qualify for single elimination. The eight seeded players qualified for the event as being in the top eight of the WPA World Rankings after the Predator WPA Women’s World 10-Ball Championship in October. They are; Chou Chieh-Yu (Chinese Taipei), Chezka Centeno (Philippines), Kelly Fisher (Great Britain), Allison Fisher (Great Britain), Kristina Zlateva (Bulgaria), Jasmin Ouschan (Austria), Bean (Meng-Hsia) Hung (Australia) and Chen Chia Hua (Chinese Taipei).

From the single-elimination knockout stage play will extend to a best of three sets, with a shootout played if the third set is tied at 2-2. The 9-ball discipline for the Showdown is another example of the Pro Billiard Series’ commitment to diversity of discipline across the sport. US and World Pro Billiard Series events are played to 10-ball formats, while Predator hosts World Championships in both 8-ball and 10-ball, offering opportunities to professional men, women and junior players.
