Two men meet in women's billiards final after dominating female tournament: 'I'm just a woman who is trying to live my life'
APRIL 07, 2025
Organizers of the tournament say their inclusion policy raises the profile and standard of women's billiards.
A women's pool tournament ended with two men facing off in the final due to a bizarre rule set focused on "inclusion."
The Ultimate Pool Women's Pro Series Event 2 at Robin Park Leisure Centre in Wigan, England, featured Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith, both males, beating four women each to reach the finals of the 32-player tournament.
Haynes was the eventual winner after he held off Smith's late comeback, according to Fox News. The outlet reported that Smith has won 85 of 113 matches dating back to 2021, while Haynes has a lifetime .750 winning percentage.
The two male players have played each other in a women's tournament previously at the U.K. Mini Series pool championships in October; Haynes won that matchup, as well.
