The Universal Open Ho Chi Minh brings a 128-player international nineball field to Sniper Billiards Club from 11–15 November 2026. A World Nineball Tour Silver ranking event, it offers a $63,000 prize fund and another opportunity for players to build their standing on the tour in Vietnam.
The competition begins with double elimination, allowing players to recover from one defeat as they compete for a place in the last 64. From that point, the event becomes straight knockout, building towards a final raced to 13 racks.
Its place immediately before the Universal Open Bangkok creates consecutive tournament opportunities across Vietnam and Thailand. For spectators, the Ho Chi Minh event brings international competition into a pool-club setting; for the players, it begins a November sequence with two ranking titles to pursue.
The Universal Bangkok Open is a World Nineball Tour Silver ranking event within the Bangkok Cuesports Festival. Taking place from 17–21 November 2026 at S1 Pool Hall & Sports Bar in the Manhattan Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 15, it brings a 128-player field to the Thai capital to compete for a $63,000 prize fund.
Players begin in a double-elimination stage, with 64 progressing to the knockout rounds. The races increase as the tournament develops: the last 64 through to the last 16 are raced to 10, the quarter-finals and semi-finals to 11, and the final to 13.
Beginning two days after the Universal Open Ho Chi Minh concludes, Bangkok continues the WNT’s November run through Southeast Asia, offering a second consecutive chance to secure a ranking title.
The World Pool Masters is one of nineball’s longest-running invitational tournaments. First staged in Plymouth, England in 1993, it has been won by players including Francisco Bustamante, Shane Van Boening and Joshua Filler, giving each new field a place to pursue among the sport’s established champions.
The event’s recent editions have used a straight-knockout format, placing immediate pressure on a select field: one defeat ends a player’s challenge. The 2027 tournament brings together 20 players at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei City from 12–14 January, following the Chinese Taipei Open at the same venue.
For the first time, the Masters will feature a two-table arena, with matches from both tables available live on WNT TV. The move to Chinese Taipei opens a new chapter for a competition with more than three decades of history.
