Chen Files Protest Against Strickland

Chen Files Protest Against StricklandThere was more controversy this evening at the 2006 Philippines World Pool Championship as America's Earl Strickland again landed himself in hot water following a prolonged bout of boorish behaviour in his Group 17 match on Table 3 against Chen Ying-chieh of Chinese Taipei.Discuss the 2006 Philippines World Pool ChampionshipStrickland was the eventual winner by an 8-6 margin but the talking point was the American’s unsportsmanlike actions which boarded on the outrageous. A large crowd gathered around the outside table at the Philippines International Convention Center and Strickland certainly did not disappoint them.
Highlights included throwing his cue to the ground following every visit to the table, audibly swearing to the audience and threatening to hit his opponent over the head with his cue when Chen refused to shake hands at the end of the match. Strickland's behaviour clearly affected his opponent and Chen signaled his displeasure by refusing the customary hand shake at the end of the match.Following the game, Chen and the Chinese Taipei delegation submitted a written protest which is currently under investigation by the World Pool Association.Group 1 PlayedWonRacksWonRacks LostPointsWu Chia- Ching (TPE)221644Chan Keng-kwang (SIN)2112132Sven Pauritsch (GER)218112Harold Rousseau (CAN)208160 Wu Chia-ching (TPE) 8-0 Sven Pauritsch (GER)Chan Keng-kwang (SIN) 8-5 Harold Rousseau (CAN) Harold Rousseau (CAN) 3-8 Sven Pauritsch (GER)Wu Chia-ching (TPE) 8-4 Chan Keng-kwang (SIN) Group 2 PlayedWonRacksWonRacks LostPointsRoy Apancho (INO)221654Efren Reyes (PHI)2115152Tony Crosby (USA)2112152Radoslaw Babica (POL)208160 Efren Reyes (PHI) 7-8 Tony Crosby (USA)Radoslaw Babica (POL) 1-8 Roy Apancho (INO) Efren Reyes (PHI) 8-7 Radoslaw Babica (POL)Roy Apancho (INA) 8-4 Tony Crosby (USA) Group 3PlayedWonRacksWonRacks LostPointsThorsten Hohmann (GER)11852Tomoo Takano (JAP)11862Edwin Montal (CAN)10680Andy Worthington (ENG)10580 Edwin Montal (CAN) 6-8 Tomoo Takano (JAP)Thorsten Hohmann (GER) 8-5 Andy Worthington (ENG) Group 4 PlayedWonRacksWonRacks LostPointsLi He-wen (CHN)11812Alex Pagulayan (PHI) 11822Gustavo Espinosa (ARG)10280Lee Kun-fang (TPE)10180 Alex Pagulayan (PHI) 8-2 Gustavo Espinosa (ARG)Li He-wen (CHN) 8-1 Lee Kun-fang (TPE) Group 5 PlayedWonRacksWonRacks LostPointsFu Che-wei (TPE)11842Marlon Manalo (PHI) 11852Nicolas Guimond (CAN)10580Mike Davis (USA)10480 Mike Davis (USA) 4-8 Fu Che-wei (TPE)Marlon Manalo (PHI) 8-5 Nicolas Guimond (CAN) Group 6 PlayedWonRacksWonRacks LostPointsErnesto Dominguez (MEX)221694D.
