WELCOME TO THE SEOUL CRUSHERS

A new team from Seoul, South Korea will be entering the Asia Pool Challenge in 2016 being hosted in Ho Chi Minh City this September.

Paul Riddle is the Team Organizer and is very keen to show off the talents of the Itaewon Pool League.

The brainchild of long-time Korea resident Bob Denny, the Itaewon Pool League (IPL) recently entered its fifteenth year with Wednesday nights across Seoul dedicated to big breaks and a few beers around the pool table. With the main aim of promoting friendship and camaraderie through competition, the league brings a mix of expatriates and Koreans together of all ages and skill levels.  The league runs two seasons a year, with 20 weeks of regular season action followed by playoffs and an end-of-season banquet.  Matches break off at 7.30pm every Wednesday night, with teams playing 15 frames – twelve singles matches and three doubles matches over the night. The Itaewon Pool League has 22 teams participating in the 2016 season.

Seoul Crushers finished in 5^th place at APC 2016 SAIGON. This was their debut in APC. They had some very talented players who tested a lot of opposition teams.

At APC 2017 BANGKOK, Crushers again finished in 5^th place. Seoul has a large pool league so they have the potential to develop a very strong team in the future.

At APC 2018 MANILA the Seoul Crushers came with a weaker team and finished the tournament in 7^th position, which is their lowest placing since they joined the competition.

The Seoul Crushers traveled to APC 2019 JAKARTA and moved up the placings to finish in 6^th place. Upwards is always a good direction!

Unfortunately Covid 19 hit Seoul very hard and the Itaewon league has shrank from 16 to 12 teams. Despite the lower participation level Seoul Crushers have maintained their 6^th position on the APC Leader board in both APC 2022 and 2023.
