‘Billiards Emperor’ Caudron cannot play in the PBA tour Court rejects application for injunction

Frédéric Caudron is concentrating and playing in the final of the NH Nonghyup Card PBA Championship held at the Bitmaru Broadcasting Support Center in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 5th. On this day, Coudron achieved his fourth career win in professional billiards with consecutive wins.

The application for a provisional injunction filed by Frederic Caudron (Belgium) against the professional billiards PBA was dismissed.

The Professional Billiards Association (PBA) announced on the 21st, “Caudron’s application for a preliminary injunction filed with the Seoul Central District Court regarding permission to participate in the PBA Tour was dismissed on the 17th.”

The 50th Civil Affairs Division of the Seoul Central District Court dismissed Coudron's request for a preliminary injunction regarding his participation in the PBA Tour. We judged that it was difficult to view this provision as having significantly lost conceptual validity.

In addition, the decision to dismiss was made in comprehensive consideration of Coudron's status in the professional billiards world, the contract negotiation process and the circumstances of the negotiation breakdown, the content of Coudron's demands, and the characteristics of the PBA league.

Previously, Coudron announced his intention to participate in the PBA tour as an individual after the contract renewal negotiations with his team Welcome Savings Bank broke down after the second tour of this season.

However, the PBA stipulates in Article 8, Paragraph 4 of the Player Registration Regulations for the Individual Tour, ‘Players nominated to a club through a draft event must sign a player contract with the club, and if they refuse to do so, the PBA may restrict their eligibility to participate in the Individual Tour. ' has restricted Coudron's participation in individual tours.

Meanwhile, Coudron is the ‘Billiards Emperor’ who holds 17 Billiards World Cup gold medals and 3 World Championship gold medals.
He has been active in Korea since 2019, the first year of the PBA, and is well known to Korean billiards fans. He reached the top eight times in his career and became the first to exceed 1 billion won in total prize money.
