Good news: Guinness World Series of Pool -New announcement from ESPN!

It doesn't look like we will get to see it in the US. From their fact sheet the only TV coverage is listed as:

"15 hours (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) LIVE on STAR Sports Asia Region 45 hours repeats (3 repeats of the programme)".

As typical with ESPN we might get to the see the semi finals and final match cut to fit into 1 hour time slots...maybe...someday....

Actually ESPN/Star Sport in Asia shows the FULL MATCHES.

You can usually watch these matches on the web using services like TVU and Sopcast - you'll need to search for or ask about the channel numbers because they are not typically "listed" on the PTP TV services in the regular listing. You will need to type in the channel numbers and remember them.

You are right, normally we get live coverage here in Asia. You guys in the US can depend on PC stream to watch it live over there.

CooL. I did not know that. I will look into it.

Thanks.
 
Great stuff- considering the huge coverage ESPN/Star Sports gave to the Guiness 9-ball Tour in recent years here in Asia, this should be fully broadcast as well.
 
I think the new players association should ask them to post the money ahead of time in an escrow account. I'm sure the powers that be at Guinness would be willing to comply with such a request. :groucho:

Has there been a problem with the integrity of the Guinness tour? - we're not talking Kevin Trudeau and the IPT.

mind you I noticed their website www.g9bt.com, is now called "Guinness 9 Ball Poker Room"....and its all about poker now, with links to poker sites. Thats a bad sign

Sure - who hasn't heard of Groucho?
"I'd never join a club that would have me as a member!"
or my personal favorite,
"You're only as old as the woman you're feeling"

But aren't we talking about Barry Hearns of Matchroom and running snooker in England. Isn't Guinness his?

Ironically hes into to high stakes poker big time ... as seen on TV all over the UK.
He even staked Alex P. in a celebrity tourney and Alex went pretty far.

Is this why we need an escrow?
