The 2010 World Team Championship (short WTC 2010) was the first edition of the World Team Championship which was sanctioned by the World Pool-Billiard Association, which ran from January 30, 2010, to February 6, 2010, in Hanover, Germany. A total prize fund of $398,000 was distributed, with the winning team receiving $100,000. The Great Britain 1 team of Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach, Imran Majid, Karl Boyes and Mark Gray won the event with a 4–1 victory over the Philippines.[1][2] It was the first iteration of the World Team Championship.

In the quarter-finals, the match between Britain 1 and China reached a playoff. After a "titanic struggle", the match reached a score of 27–25 in a race to 6 racks with the winning rack from Peach.[3][4]

Format

[edit | edit source]

The World Team Championship consisteted of teams of 4-6 players for national teams. The event was organised and run by the World Pool-Billiard Association. Only one national team is allowed to compete per nation, with the exception of hosts Germany, Great Britain and Israel. The latter two were re-nominated after the teams from Nigeria and Brunei cancelled.[5][6]

The event featured three pool disciplines for each match: Eight-ball, Nine-ball and 10-Ball. Each match consists of six matches; two each in the respective disciplines. The 8-ball sets are played in doubles to 6 racks. The 9-ball and 10-ball sets are played in singles on a playout of 8 or 7 racks. If a match is tied 3-3, the winner is determined by a playoff.[7]

The tournament was contested as a Double-elimination tournament until 16 teams remained. In the final round of the last 16 will be in the Single-elimination tournament played, so every defeat leads to the immediate withdrawal from the tournament.[6]
