Chris Lee

Founder & CEO

Chris comes from a family of Sports and League Organisers, and has been Captaining Teams and Chairing Sports Organisations for over 30 Years. Alongside his other skills in Marketing, Business Development and soft, people skills, Chris has helped grow and stablise all Sports Organisations that he has touuched.

Chris started out as a snooker player at the age of 14, then moved into English Black Ball Pool, before being first introduced to American 8-Ball nearly 18 years ago in Shanghai. 11 years ago, when he moved to Ho Chi Minh, he set up the very first Pool League in Vietnam, and to date it is still the largest and most successful in the country. Chris is extremely principled regarding sportsmanship and fairplay, and this drives his interest in maintaining fair, and balanced, team sport organisations.

Over the last 5 years, Chris has developed the most accurate Ranking System for Pool Players to be found in Vietnam, taking account of EVERY frame played, by players within his organisation’s structured Leagues and Competitions, which is now able to make live updates to both a players Handicap, as well as their Ranking. His Handicap system is able to accurately predict the expected outcome of two player playing against each other, should they both play to their current form. Any player who plays above or below their current form ranking, is immediately adjusted for future matches, but with nearly 100,000 frames of data already recorded, his system has proven to be very reliable.

In January 2024, Chris partnered with Vietnam Entrepreneur Do Kim Long, to bring his system to a wider Pool playing base, under the VPPA flagship (Vietnamese Pool Players Association). 6 months later, the sytem is set to go Asia-wide, under the APPA banner (Asia Pool Players Association).
