World Championship List of Entrants and GroupsWith the start of the 2004 Taiwan World Pool Championship just over three weeks away, the draw for the opening round groups has been made and there are plenty of tough matches in prospect. 116 competitors representing 42 countries have been announced to date with the remaining 12 players to come through from pre-tournament qualifying events. The first round in Taipei consists of 16 groups comprising eight players with each group headed by two seeds. The remaining six players are then drawn out of the bag based on geographical areas. No.1 seed and defending champion, Thorsten Hohmann, heads up Group 1 where he will face the likes of Ramil Gallego of the Philippines and the USA's Shawn Putnam. Further down, one of the toughest groups appears to be Group 4 where Ching-shun Yang (Chinese Taipei), Markko Lohtander of Finland, America's Tony Crosby, Filipino hot-shot Lee Van Corteza, Michael Schmidt of Germany and England's fast improving Daryl Peach will all be vying for the four slots in the last 64 knock-out. First Round matches start on Saturday 10th July and conclude on Tuesday 13th - Judgement Day! Groups List.
