I was very surprised to hear that Scandinavia wasn’t considered part of continental Europe. So I went to Wikipedia and found this interesting explanation:

The Scandinavian Peninsula is sometimes also excluded even though it is a part of "mainland Europe", as the de facto connections to the rest of the continent were historically across the Baltic Sea or North Sea (rather than via the lengthy land route that involves travelling to the north of the peninsula where it meets Finland, and then south through northeast Europe)

Impressed by your snooker knowledge as I don't recall either of those players, but according to wikipedia Robin Hull has played in 3 world championships (knocked out in the first round every time). And Alex Ursenbacher has played in one(also being knocked out in the first round). Seems Robin Hull doesn't count as Finland is considered Northern Europe rather than continental Europe so I've learned three things today

You don't understand how high-stakes pool gambling works. Both players win. The stakehorses are slaughtered for their meat. Sadly, in California, it's against the law to eat horses. Really. It nearly got into the state constitution.

He is a user interface design instructor. Articulate and well educated in his field. This is why his projection system looks simple and clean. His application of it to pool is a little rudimentary, but other projection systems have the opposite problem (good material but lazy UI) he could pair with a known pool instructor to raise the bar on what we should expect from projection systems. Especially the camera feedback.

People ignoring sponsorship, lessons, and other side gig revenue streams are being willfully obtuse about the financials of pro pool, but that’s par for the course for many posters here.

Woodward won $95k in tournaments last year. Thorpe was about $70k. With sponsors and side gigs, that can work. There are three other Americans over $50k for 2025.

Yeah, but he's not totally ''with it'' in that department obviously.
Be interesting to see how he'd call a split hit .
And in a split decision about a shot or hit, where they Both say they are right, and both say the other is wrong it goes to the shooter.
