2017 Revival

Did the 2017 event (or later ones) happen? It's three years laters now and there is no new information. The WPA doesn't list a 2017 winner on their site.Tvx1 16:34, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

No; I can find no evidence that actually happened. That said, there is a planned 2022 edition scheduled for November in Puerto Rico (being held in conjunction with the Cue Sports International Predator Pro Billiards Series Puerto Rico Open 10-ball tournament). See here for the dates. oknazevad (talk) 18:29, 29 March 2022‎

And you claim that this is a consensus per Wiki standards? I think you might very soon be answering questions on either of two noticeboards. --JP7i1-u (talk) 09:13, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

You have anything constructive to add, or are you just going to keep blanket reverting any attempt to improve the article? Pretty obvious you're a sock, too. oknazevad (talk) 09:51, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Oknazevad is right. Also COVID postponed lots of things. --StellarNerd (talk) 18:44, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

It wasn't even COVID, as the last announced version that never happened was supposed to be in 2017, three years before the pandemic. I'm just speculating here, but it may be a case where the WPA pulled sanctioning after the announcement because the main sponsor (the Yalin billiard table company out of China, a place where eight-ball is pretty popular) seems to have suspended operations not long after. Either way, the redundant and unsourced material can't stay, because it's unsourced. oknazevad (talk) 20:44, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
