Official Player Groupings Announced for IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship

Official Player Groupings Announced for IPT North American Open 8-Ball ChampionshipThe IPT is proud to announce the player groupings for the IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship. The methodology for determining the groups was complex. All of the Hall of Fame members were placed in separate groups; female players were placed into separate groups; all of the players who qualified through the qualification tournament system were placed into separate groups (since there are 50 qualifiers and 40 groups, some groups have two qualified players); finally, a number of the top players, historically, were placed into separate groups. All of the placed players were placed randomly into their respective groups.
