His Highness and Mr. Anderson officially opened the competition with an honorary break shot and as a cap to the evening Efren Reyes and Earl Strickland entertained by playing o­ne another a few racks of non-competitive nine ball.

On Wednesday night the true competition begins. This is world-class nine ball and you are invited to watch it live each evening at the Fujairah exhibition hall in the same complex where the annual Autumn Fair is being held.
