wow
only Jeffrey Ignacio Philippines, no Taiwanese, no Snooker players and only Shane and Corey from the USA
almost appears as if people have recognized how tough it is to win at this game
Somebody posted links to the stream last year. I'm sure the same will happen this year. Stream quality last year varied from pretty good to buffer-city. Some Chinese commentary, some in English. Brutal game. IMO i'd rather play either pool or snooker, not this hybrid.this is a huge tourney next week, who has info? not much online, I think Ronnie O and Shane are in this

Or that it is a carnival game & deserves no attention

Can you picture a couple of mid-level league players playing this? One game could take FOREVER. I've read that something like 60million play it there. I imagine even the short-stops play like Houdini if all they play on are these brutal tables.
Yeah I hear ya'. I was kinda thinking same thing when i read those numbers. Pool is big in both Taiwan and on the mainland so its possible that figure is not too far off. If they ever field a Mosconi team the rest of the world is in trouble.Yeah I wonder if where you read that at was from people who used the same statistical methodology as the BCA used for years saying pool was the most "played" "sport" in the US, or whatever that inflated misleading stat was they used to throw around.

I think there are two sponsors, joy and star, with each holding similar comps. I think the snooker players etc play in the other one.
yes that sounds about right although I believe Joy has (had?) Stephen Hendry for a while
also don't seem to see any other big Chinese 8 Ball tourneys on the horizon
Lol. Let's see how SVB, the world's greatest pool player, apparently, handles a game of skill and precision. Not very well would be my guess.
Nothing demonstrates the poverty of American cueing better than Chinese 8 ball.
