sanctioned by the PPPO ([[Professional Pool Players Organization]]). In 1985 the PPPO ran their first event under the "EPA world rules" that pre-dated the standardized "[[Blackball (pool)#WEPF World Rules|WEPF world rules]]" and drew contestants from [[Snooker]], [[pool (cue sport)|Pool]] and [[blackball (pool)|English Eightball]], to popularize the game worldwide. From 1996 the tournament was being held annually, up until 2005, when the last tournament was held. {| class="wikitable" |- bgcolor="#efefef" !Date !Location !Winner !Nationality !Runner-up !Nationality |- |2005<ref>{{cite web |title=2005 EUKPF Professional World Championships |url=http://www.pppo.net/eventsummary.php?eid=250 |publisher=[[Professional Pool Players Organization]] |access-date=February 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724020525/http://www.pppo.net/eventsummary.php?eid=250 |archive-date=July 24, 2011}}</ref> | rowspan="3" |[[Bridlington]], [[England]] |Ben Davies |{{WAL}} |[[Derek Murphy (pool player)|Derek Murphy]] |{{SCO}} |- |2004<ref>{{cite web |title=2004 EUKPF Professional World Championships |url=http://www.pppo.net/eventsummary.php?eid=245 |publisher=Professional Pool Players Organization |access-date=February 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724020547/http://www.pppo.net/eventsummary.php?eid=245 |archive-date=July 24, 2011}}</ref> |Andy Lucas (2) |{{ENG}} |Rob Hill |{{ENG}} |- |2003<ref>{{cite web |title=Rob Hill - Professional World Champion! |url=http://www.pppo.net/article.php?article=1002 |publisher=Professional Pool Players Organization |access-date=February 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724020601/http://www.pppo.net/article.php?article=1002 |archive-date=July 24, 2011}}</ref> |[[Rob Hill (pool player)|Rob Hill]] |{{ENG}} |Antz Morrison |{{SCO}} |- |2002<ref>{{cite web |title=Sanders wins world singles crown - at last! |url=http://www.pppo.net/article.php?article=624 |publisher=Professional Pool Players Organization |access-date=February 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724020606/http://www.pppo.net/article.php?article=624 |archive-date=July 24, 2011}}</ref> |[[Lerwick]], [[Scotland]] |[[Steve Sanders (pool player)|Steve Sanders]] |{{ENG}} |[[Andy Lucas]] |{{ENG}} |- |2001 |[[Morecambe]], [[England]] |[[Ross McInnes (pool player)|Ross McInnes]] (4) |{{SCO}} |Rob Chambers |{{ENG}} |- |2000 |[[Bridlington]], [[England]] |Ross McInnes (3) |{{SCO}} |Steve Sanders |{{ENG}} |- |1999 | rowspan="4" |[[Morecambe]], [[England]] |Andy Lucas |{{SCO}} |Ronan McCarthy |{{NIR}} |- |1998 |Ross McInnes (2) |{{SCO}} |Steve Sanders |{{ENG}} |- |1997 |Kevin Treanor |{{SCO}} |Ronan McCarthy |{{NIR}} |- |1996 |Ross McInnes |{{SCO}} |Mark White |{{ENG}} |- |1985 |[[London]], [[England]] |[[Jim Rempe]] |{{USA}} |Joe Barbara |{{ENG}} |} ==See also== * {{portal-inline|Cue sports}} ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== * [https://web.archive.org/web/20070812194842/http://www.wpa-pool.com/index.asp?content=champ_8ball WPA champions] * [http://www.wepf.org/worlds.php?option=8 WEPF champions] * [https://archive.today/20130103103157/http://www.hickoksports.com/history/worldpoolchamps.shtml World Pool Champions] * [http://www.ebapool.com European Blackball Association] * [http://www.internationalpooltour.com International Pool Tour] {{World pool championship}} {{World pool champions}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Eight-Ball Champions, World}} [[Category:WPA World Eight-ball Champions|*]] [[Category:World champions in pool| Eight-ball]] [[Category:Cue sports related lists]] [[Category:WPA World Eight-ball Championship|*]] [[Category:Lists of sports world champions|Eight Ball]]'
