Canada Finishes 17th At World Team Championships
The Canadian team of Alain Martel, captain, Tyler Edey, Jason Klatt & Erik Hjorleifson lost their second match of the day, 4-2, to the team from Denmark at the World Team Championships in Germany. Denmark now advances to the final 16 single elimination stage.
After trailing 3-0, the Canucks mounted a challenge when Martel beat Kasper Kristoffersen, 8-5, in a 9-Ball set, & Hjorleifson beat Bahram Lotfy, 7-2, in 10-Ball.
Klatt did recover from a 3-0 deficit, against Kasper Thygesen, & tied the 10-Ball set at 5-5, but then lost the last two racks. A win by Klatt would have forced a shoot out to decide the winner. Canada won their shoot out against Austria earlier in the championships.
The format of the event is two doubles 8-Ball sets, two single 9-Ball sets, & two single 10-Ball sets. If a match is tied, a shoot out determines the winner.
