Pankaj is IBSF World Champion, not Amateur World Champion. There is no such thing as amateur in billiards. He is a professional playing IBSF. If he was amateur, then how would he be allowed to play in both the leagues?
IBSF and WPBSA are parallel bodies and conduct their own world championships.
Thanks for pointing my mistake ... Updated above post.
