    The tournament’s surging popularity is undeniable. With participation skyrocketing from 160 in 2023 to over 200 this year, the event’s allure continues to grow. In response to this enthusiasm, the prize money has been dramatically boosted from RM38,000 to an astounding RM55,000, setting a new benchmark for cue sports competitions in the region.
