i did not see focused Casper today... maybe a tad too much excited to play.

On the other table matches, I would find it extremely distracting to have a referee say "10" and then "5" a few seconds later after each and every shot? It's seems like only 2 seconds go by, not 5 seconds.

this is probably a bigger scandal than "waxgate", they're totally stroke pulling with that mistimed "5" and will for sure have affected match outcomes

If that were the case every Tom, Dick, and Harry snooker player would be stealing every major pool tournament in existence. Not true, they go out in early rounds. Snooker does not translate to pool at the highest levels.

you're right. but you asked about the cue sport scene in the region and they mix it up quite a lot, playing both games isn't uncommon, and playing iranians isn't uncommon. i've been victim to one of those multitaskers myself, quite a few times, and he's told me about the scene. now a lot of them play heyball, including ameer ali

Thx for clearing that up, though I only read posts here every so often, so I missed the first 6+ times you commented on this. At least I know that when the time comes, I can actually get my cues repaired. My actual worst fear is taking cues with me on a flight... has to be checked luggage, and screeners have been caught pilfering valuables this way. I still remember when my wife's ring box vanished from her luggage on a flight back from Hawaii during our honeymoon. Fortunately all the culprit(s) got was an empty box. A few months later, an organized theft ring was busted at the same airport we returned from. My apologies for the thread derail.

I'm new to the glove band wagon mine came from Mike Gulyassy , it has open finger tips so far so good !

6.00. I edited it. Sorry for the confusion. Bob
