The Championship will initially be contested using a round robin group format, with each group containing one seeded player and all other players drawn at random, which will played over the first two days of competition, with the qualifying placed players from each group advancing into the single elimination phase, and the final scheduled to conclude on the Memorial Day afternoon followed by an After Party for all players and guests.Īmongst all the celebrations for the 25th Anniversary however, there will be a moment of remembrance before the commencement of the first day's play of the Championship for the Scottish professional snooker referee Hugh Brown, who acted as the USSA's Head Referee and Official Refereeing Coach & Examiner and was present at several Championships, who sadly passed away in August of last year.Īlan Morris, the Executive Director of the USSA, said: "The USSA is very happy to be back at the Prince Snooker Club for this year's special anniversary Championship, and both Tommy and Anita have always proved to be such wonderful, generous and gracious hosts. The 2012 Champion, Sargon Isaac, along with Prabhakar will also be making the journey from California, and their other main rivals are expected to be last year's runner-up from Brooklyn, Raymond Fung, and the runner-up from the 2006 Championship, Romil Azemat from Arizona, who is also expected to put up a good showing.Ī Players' Meeting will be held this evening at 8pm ET, and afterward the Championship draw will be conducted. Prabhakar, who is also the current serving president of the United States Snooker Association (USSA), played in both of the two previous Championship finals at the Prince Snooker Club, but on both occasions he was defeated by the local player Ahmed Aly Elsayed, the current manager of the billiard room in the New York Athletic Club, who will also be competing and hoping to take a fourth title.
