So Ko Ping Chung hooks himself on the 8 but gets out a jump cue and fires it in. I'm ok with allowing jump cues, but why are they allowed now when they weren't allowed a few days ago in the 10 ball? Seems a pretty capricious change.

For today's 5 matches (74 games) on the feature table, the B&R percentage was 49%.:eek:

6 of 6 for Bustamante

6 of 9 for Souquet

5 of 8 for SVB

I think people are just starting to warm up to the more unfamiliar players which will ultimately get them on the stream more. It's probably really hard deciding which match to show at any given time, With that said tomorrow's line up is killer. It is also good to see Mike D. playing on camera the way he does off camera, now people see why he was on the Mosconi Cup team consistently. I have no idea who is going to snap this tourney off....races feel a bit short to me, 11 or 13 seem like they would be more telling and not take too much longer.

These 8-Ball matches certainly can be short, like the Bustamante match tonight with 8 B&R's in 11 games.

But the average length of tonight's 5 matches was 104 minutes. For comparison, the average length of the 14 streamed 10-Ball races to 9 was 105 minutes.

I hate numbers people....for some reason they are right more often than others...so annoying hahaha:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Kozoom probably spent $20-$30K streaming that event and that doesnt include what they invested in tech to do the multiple table scoring and streaming. Our budget is a fraction of that for a crew of five for ten days.

As to the audio level difference between commercials I'll fix that today.

We are creating a lot of content here that no one has seen yet that will be released after the event. One particular project is one of the best things I have ever worked on.

Thanks Justin; that is my only complaint also. I'm loving the matches but i have my computer completely maxed out on volume and can barely hear. Ken is ok at times you can hear him ok but when cotton and rest speak it is hard to hear. Then the predator commercials come on and they blast you out ! thanks much if you can fix ! Other than that the stream quality is fantastic !

Thanks for the streaming info. And it is good that you choose the critical group matches to stream . Am glad that you are streaming Thorsten-Chang match instead of Corey-Efren as there was talk yesterday that Corey-Efren will be streamed instead :grin:
