JAKARTA – The 2023 POBSI Student Cup regular series has ended and 16 young billiards players will compete in the grand final round. Deputy Chairman II Binpres PB POBSI, Achmad Fadil Nasution said that in this round there would be exciting competition.
The 4th series, which will be held in Jakarta on 26-28 October 2023, will be the final series of the student and student billiards tournament. A total of 16 young billiards players selected from series 1-4 will compete again in the grand final which is planned to be held next December.
Four young billiards players from each series have received tickets to compete in the final round. Fadil sees that the competition in the grand final round will be exciting, filled with talented young billiards players throughout Indonesia.
“The competition in the grand final will be quite extraordinary. One of them is the first place winner in the first series in the name of Derin Asaku Sitorus, who just two weeks ago won the world junior 10 ball championship in Austria,” said Fadil to MNC Portal Indonesia, Saturday ( 10/28/2023).
The participants who passed the 4th series in Jakarta also admitted that they couldn’t wait to be able to appear in the grand final round next December. One of them is the champion, Ahmad Fauzan, who is determined to aim for the POBSI Student Cup title this year.
“I am also aiming for the title in the grand final,” said Fauzan.
In line with Fauzan, runner-up of POBSI Student Cup Series 4 Jakarta 2023, Guido, is also determined to achieve better results in the grand final round. He confidently expressed his desire to climb to the highest podium.
“I’m confident for the grand final. I have to be ready to become champion,” said Guido.
“Of course, we will practice continuously. I made a mistake earlier because I played on a TV table. Maybe I have to practice again how to play on that table and I also need advice from other people and teachers so that the game can be more stable and consistent,” he concluded.
Apart from Fauzan and Guido, two other young billiards players, namely Rigel and Jose, also secured tickets to the grand final of the 2023 POBSI Student Cup. Rigel, who is still eleven years old, will be the youngest contestant in the final round.
