It ended with Chu conceding with just a few minutes left. 108-84.

Wu had 3 B&Rs (30 pts.), 3 Table Runs (21 pts.), 13 Standard Wins (52 pts.), and 5 points on fouls = 108 pts.

Chu was 2, 3, 9, 7 for the 4 categories = 84 pts.

One interesting dynamic of the scoring system is that in the second last rack played, Chu broke, made the 8 but had no shot at the 1. Because he was down quite a bit (101-84) with not a ton of time, he didn’t play safe but instead had to kick and hope to fluke it so he could get a 10pt BNR. Instead he left the 1b and Wu ran out for 7 more points, which essentially ended the match.

i've heard he's also very proficient, maybe the best, at the taiwanese carom game that i always forget the name of. but that game is contested in long gambling matches

I wonder if the scoring system was designed to encourage runouts rather than making a few balls and then ducking (not a crazy idea given how tough the table is).

Actually, my recollection is that their 9b game developed as a gambling game. They play by the point (thus more points for runouts). I think in the gambling version safeties are not allowed - if you don’t make a ball and your opponent can’t see the ball they can make you shoot. Maybe one of our Asian posters can confirm?

i played a version of this as a practice gambling game 10 years ago. we came up with it to incentivize BNR's. not the match time/rack or table run, but extra for BNR's. it's a fairly low hanging fruit, so seems likely that's how it came about.

i've watched a little of it now, i like it better than heyball but less than regular 9-ball. but of course the added money pressure makes this particular event more interesting. they may have chopped at this point though, i would have, i think most people would. rational choice..

The Power of the Atom.......

The Renfro
Tomorrow things will shift... Nano-powders have been used in china for the last 8 years to bring you clean chalk regardless of where they said it was made... JoyDustless was the first and then Finland and others imported it while lying about it... Nano's are safe in liquids and solids only...

Tomorrow you will behold the power of the ATOM... Almost 5 years in Electrostatics and Tribology.. Just to keep the cueball clean and not risk the health of my family

🔥 1025 SHIPPED RARE BOBBY HUNTER WRAPLESS MERRY WIDOW WITH 2 SHAFTS 🔥

Dbex6505
Amazing rare bird here!!!! Bobby Hunter wrapless Merry Widow with two old growth shafts, both shafts have ivory ferrules and these cues never come up for sale and if they do they are 3500 or more. Cue rolls great together and apart and the only draw back the shafts are small, the butt clear is a little thin and has a couple marks on the butt cap but besides that it’s in great shape for being original.

58 even split
3/8-10 regular pin

Butt 15.65 no weight bolt so I would say it’s uncored and made like a tank 🔥 is tapped
Shaft 1. 3.65oz 12.16mm
Shaft 2. 3.65oz 12.02mm


1025 shipped and as crazy low as you’ll ever see for a Bobby Hunter cue

🔥. FULL SPLICE PK SNEAKY WITH 2 SHAFTS 975 SHIPPED 🔥

Dbex6505
Killer PK full splice sneaky with amazing ringwork, has a few marks in the forearm if you run your hand up and down the butt but nothing through the clear. I think a good buffing would take 90% out but if you’re gonna play with it I’d leave it alone as it’s not bad at all and you can’t seem them unless you look and even then it’s hard. Does have one mark in the very bottom of the butt you can see but once again you’d have to look for it. Shafts are like new and the previous owner must have used a aftermarket shaft as they haven’t been played and you can tell they haven’t. Cue rolls good together and apart but will always say some taper roll for any preowned cue. It rolls good though lol

58 even split
3/8-10 mod pin

Butt 13.95 but has a extension bumper so weight can be added
Shaft 1. 3.75oz 13.18mm
Shaft 2. 3.8oz 13.29mm

975 shipped!!!! Cheaper than a basic production cue with one shaft
