At 10 am on April 27th, the 2012 National Chinese Billiards Ranking Tournament “Xingpai Black Pool” Cup Qualifying Tournament (Anhui Station) was grandly opened in Hefei Hefei International Billiards Club. Leaders and guests invited to attend the opening ceremony include: Zhang Wei, member of the China Billiards Association and executive deputy secretary-general of Anhui Billiards Association; Zhang Daoming, deputy secretary-general of Anhui Billiards Association and deputy secretary general of Anhui Billiards Association; Hefei Billiards Wang Guangbi, Honorary Chairman of the Sports Association; Zhang Feng, Chairman of Hefei Billiards Association and Consultant of Anhui Shuangfeng Investment Co., Ltd.; Wang Hua, Standing Committee Member of Hefei Billiards Association and General Manager of Beijing Xingwei Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. Anhui Branch; Hefei Hefei International Li Jia, general manager of the billiard club.
At the opening ceremony, Zhang Wei, member of the Chinese Billiards Association and executive deputy secretary-general of the Anhui Billiards Association, and Wang Guangbi, honorary chairman of the Hefei Billiards Association, delivered opening speeches respectively. Zhang Wei said that, as the most authoritative, formal and glorious event in the history of Chinese billiards, the first ranking tournament is very assured and trusted by Beijing Xingwei Sports Goods Co., Ltd. to host it. Regardless of whether it is the qualifying round or the next round of the competition in Anhui, we attach great importance to it from top to bottom. We will spare no effort to provide support and help to make this competition well and beautiful! Finally, Zhang Wei wishes this competition a complete success!
On the afternoon of April 27th, the game officially started. The top 32 was decided on the same day. The local players in Anhui and the players from other provinces were mixed. Local seeded player Jiang Zhenyu encountered Tianjin seeded player Shi Hanqing in the first round, losing 2-5. Well-known golfer Xu Ran from Beijing and Anhui local powerful player Zhang Jianguo also met in the first round and staged a wonderful duel ahead of schedule. Xu Ran led 3-0 in the first three games, and the situation was very good. In the fourth game, Xu Ran defeated the black eight due to a mistake and Zhang Jianguo pulled it back 1-3. Perhaps because the opponent’s mistakes gave him a chance, Zhang Jianguo in the following games played 4 consecutive rounds, defending the honor of the local players 5-3.
When interviewing Xu Ran after the game, the reporter learned that Anhui Station was already the third station that Xu Ran played. Neither of the first two stations were shortlisted. It was the first time he came to Anhui and the loss in the first round was something he did not expect. Tiredness is the primary cause. After this stop, he will also go to Henan to participate in the qualifying competition on May 4. I hope Xu Ran can gain something in the final battle, and I also wish all the players on the journey a safe journey.
