Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

I wonder if anyone could enlighten me as to the correct ordinal number for this tournament, held at Asbury Park in New Jersey.

I counted up the previous events listed on Wikipedia, which suggested August 1976 was the 97th staging of this competition. I then, however, found an article promoting a 71st World Straight Pool Championship in 2011. This has left me somewhat confused.

If someone could provide a definitive and official answer about the 1976 event I would be much obliged indeed.

Years ago, jumping over a ball was frowned upon.

Some would have considered it dirty pool.

still is in bars and you lose all future action, and get to go home if still able to walk.

at least in the bars where they gambled a lot.

I mean yes, semi-rough cut, little bit tough but he would have made it if the EU fans not being loud and sharking like that, the ref should have just raised his arm to shush them but no he didn't, I got no clue if thats an order given by Emily or what....

smoochie · Dec 5, 2025

yes I agree with JolietJames, its' not pressure--- its just sharking from the EU fans, thats brutal and yes the ref just didn't do nothing to them probably that was a new rules for Mosconi Cups given by Emily i am just guessing here because years ago, I remember Mosconi fans used to yell and shout but during the SHOT the ref keeps telling them to be quiet which is how it should even today but probably these rules have changed and the EU fans are the best in sharking.

A baby could've ran out from there. It was a gift-wrapped layout.

You would have pooped your pants trying to get out on that stage, as would most of us. Let’s be real.

Why didn't he stop the fking ball after making the 8, and make the easy 9 in the opposite corner. This guy makes the weirdest end-game decisions. He would've never been faced with such a tough 9 if he went with the simple shot. I knew he was gonna try to be a hero.

He had a slight angle, so it still would have been a cut into the other corner pocket, and that cut can get sharp pretty quick. Hard to say what the right decision was without being at the table. I didn't like having to back cut the 9 like that either though.

maybe he runs into the 9, maybe he can hold it with inside. either way. tough miss on the 9

Forget about 'team'. I'm more entertained by the notion of 'sport'....lol

On this side of the pond, cue sports are relegated to ‘game’ . Europe and Asia have elevated cue sports to ‘sport status’.
American pool needs to get its act together because America will not be winning anything on a world without more foundational structure & support, which includes changing perspective.

There is a difference between rowdy and sharking and in that match, the ref was complicit.
What a POS.
Tyler is supposed to make that ball regardless but that really is despicable.

Could he have went forward on the 8?

He could have. Probably would have bumped the 9,but knocked it toward the corner.

No matter. Tyler has burnished his rep as a choker. Sad to see. He played great.

skogstokig · Dec 5, 2025

either way, it began with the 7... it was really a tic tac toe out. or well, the 6 to 7

Nick8400 · Dec 5, 2025

I don’t ever want to hear another European fan/player complain about American fans when they come here. That was pathetic.

Wow. Missing that nine was brutal. Some players thrive under pressure some crumble.

Honestly though, pressure is one thing, and crowd being mean and yelling non-stop is another........If I have zero pressure, and crowd yelled at me like this on a semi-tough shot, ill miss it like there's no tomorrow.

dr exaggerates things for effect and is good at it as the lemmings fall for it every time.

Tyler should have demanded the ref silence the crowd and gather himself again. His mistake.

I didn’t like a draw on the eight.

He did not have enough time for this, the clock was ticking and he got no extension.
