Both teams get three based on rankings and two wildcards.

Hypothetically speaking Fedor and Filler should get #1 and #2. #3 will be a race with FSR and Kledio at WPC giving a good boost. Plenty of other opens (like the US Open) could upset that balance. And I imagine Matchroom would thumb the scales to get Shaw and SVB automatic on wildcards just because they know what sells. They can say "strictly on merit" but when it comes to wildcards, merit is a loose concept.

I've seen several of them, Casper included, who deliberately wait until they hear that 5 second callout before pulling the trigger.

It should be done like accu-stats does it, once they are down on the shot, the clock should stop.

Have you seen players who make like 20 prelim strokes before the actual tip contact? And then - another 20, just to be exactly sure they don't miss that hanger?

again, this is the wrong match for tv table. biado v chung will be much closer than a nervous jefrey roda taking on fedor

Biado vs Ko Ping Chung may be the most exciting matchup of the tournament to this point. Biado seems to get it done in the biggest spots, but Ko Ping Chung will be a very tough assignment for him. Roda has run hot and cold but seems to do just enough to win, and I'd be very surprised if he beat Fedor.

Still, there's not much in it. All matches are steamed now, so you can pick the one you like. The future BCA hall of famer Carlo Biado vs World 10ball and US Open 9ball champion Ko Ping Chung is the one I like.

What changes have happened to pool in the last decade?

The biggest difference is the globalization of the game. Great players are popping up every corner of the globe now.

The list of players carrying a Fargo of 800+ includes at least one player from each of Iraq, Spain, Singapore, Albania, Poland, Vietnam, Bosnia, Hungary, Hong Kong, Lithuania, Serbia and Estonia. None of these nations had historically produced much pool talent.

Because of the globalization of the game, the standard of play has risen dramatically in the past ten years to a level that I could never have imagined.

Wanted - Willard Pool Cue tip machine

I see those come up for sale from time to time. I am looking for a fully functional setup without too much obvious wear and tear. $500 - $600 new prices seem extremely high to me.

Obviously I seeking a seller who is either in the NY tri-state metropolitan area where a sale can be conducted in person or using a transaction payment mechanism that provides protections for both buyer and seller.
