Am I imagining it or are the tables playing pretty loose? Seems a lot of balls are going in off the rails, especially on the break. ...

You are certainly correct; big pockets. I think the conditions are way too easy for a pro event of this level. And the Magic Rack spoils it even more -- the wing ball goes in every time.

In the first 15 games of the Fu/Wu match (I lost it to commercials after that), the wing ball went in on all 15 breaks. And they had 8 break and runs in those 15 games.

I am also annoyed by the loose and fast table, players seem to make balls at will, effortlessly.

GaDawg,

Sure hope UR right about the ladies.

They were supposed to go before the men but maybe the production people thought there would
B better exposure if they went last.

Ladies pool may be bigger in China than the men.

I did read about the documentary of two of the lady players which aired in prime time with
100,000,000 viewers.

They're showing 21 between the running scores, does this mean, best of 21 games or race to 21 games?
