The second stop for the UMB OneCarom Challenge: 12 of August to 16 of August

KOZOOM - The first stop in the UMB Virtual OneCarom Challenge was won by Belgian star player Eddy Merckx. The second UMB event takes place from Wednesday 12 to Sunday 16 August. The participants, eight players in total, are four Europeans, three Asians and one African, divided into two groups of four players. As in the previous Challenge, players choose their own playing location, usually in their own billiard room. The UMB invites the spectators to the live images: reserve a seat in your own living room!!

The format and schedule do not differ from the first Challenge: the players first meet each other in the group matches, the numbers one and two qualify for the semi-finals and the final on Sunday.

Sameh Sidhom, with his ninth position the best ranked of the eight invited players on the world rankings, just returned from vacation and is looking forward to the special tournament. He told Kozoom: "I'm doing fine, I've been working-out the past few months, life is getting back to normal bit by bit here in Cairo. I'll probably play the Challenge in two different places: my own place on my table and in Rivoly billiards Club. The format looks nice: it's an attacking format. I'm sure we all want to play normal matches, but this is what we have right now and I'm sure I will enjoy it.''

The Vietnamese Duc Anh Chien Nguyen, the number two from the World Championship in the final with Torbjörn Blomdahl, feels happy to be invited: ''I play the event in my own room an sure will do my very best to play good.''
