Great Match
I agree. Of all the players I have seen in pro pool, Jayson is a very honest and stand up guy. He has integrity.I don't understand how people are accusing Shaw of rack manipulation. Sky literally broke and ran 5 racks on him to tie up the match. At no point did he try to slug Sky. All I've seen from Shaw is great sportsmanship and a love of the game and competition.
I don't see the evidence even for a personal suspicion, and certainly not for public slander. Just my opinion.

once again thank you .Some aggregate stats for matches on the feature table are now available here: https://forums.azbilliards.com/thre...lassic-xxxvi-9-ball-open-january-2023.550009/
His rack when Fedor was on the hill was quite suspect imo. Saw no issues in the Sky match.

I think that roll by the spot really unsettled Sky. Could clearly see his composure change when it happened. He did not seem ready on the six ball and just shot a bit too soon and the rest is history. Sure was a great comeback, all in all .That was a tough roll for Sky. If the spot hadn’t altered the path, he wouldn’t have been tree topped. And honestly clean cueing would have let him play easier shape for the ball he missed.
It was interesting seeing him setup the shot he missed and rattle it again. And then Jayson set it up and show him how it goes in more easily rolling it in with top rather than spearing it to stun over.
He said he’d change his racking rules only if everyone else did.
I think he means 9-on-the-spot, the smaller break box, and template/ref rack. But the point is well made how he’s an outlier already with opponent racking. It’s pretty clear he was being disingenuous.so if everyone else changed their racking rules (that would be TO opponent racks), he will change his racking rules FROM opponent racks? he's quite a character
It use to be traditional in hill hill matches.Jason shook his hand prior to Sky’s break, I’m liking that.
Same here. Unless there is a shot clock I can't watch. Sucks bc he is so good. The routine is just brutal to watch thoughGorst plays soooo slow. I try, but this guy is unwatchable.

OK, didn't know that, but I hope you'll compliment the tournament director for it.Midwest Bar Table runs on time every time.
Integrity????? He was a TOTAL A**HOLE at the Mosconi Cup! I lost a lot of respect for him!I agree. Of all the players I have seen in pro pool, Jayson is a very honest and stand up guy. He has integrity.
