Thanks. I was looking at https://www.wntlivescores.com/events which had last 2 years events, but not this years.

Looks like 2 players I was rooting for (Mouritz and Elliot Sanderson) play each other in next round.

Interesting to see what everyone likes out of the group. They are all fantastic but #4 and #10 are my favorites. Great collection.

Has the tournament started yet? Thought it was a Matchroom event, but can't see any scores on their website?

Nice turnout. Great field. Looks like nearly all the players that played at the Predator St Louis event went on to this WNT ranking event at Super Billiards Expo in Pennsylvania. The majority of the US Mosconi hopefuls are there, too. This event, which was on a downturn no so long ago, has greatly benefited from its WNT affiliation and is now one of the very best events in the Northeast United States.

With $16,000 for first, $10,000 for second and $7,000 for third, this event offers a nice chance for a) Neuhausen to pad the Mosconi points lead he attained at the European Open, b) for other European hopefuls to begin making their Mosconi statements, and c) for American hopefuls to begin making their statements for Team USA consideration.

Good luck to all these fine players. I'm sure we'll have a very worthy champion come Sunday evening.

Sure it does, cool story.

Is the floor level? That's the biggest problem with garage pool rooms.
Temperature and humidity control being the second biggest.

Bad reffing. Plain and simple. Yapp knew it. FSR couldn't see as he was seated behind Yapp. Ball path makes it obvious. If you slow down the vid to 0.25x speed, you can clearly see the 4 move first...if knowing the physics of the shot isn't enough for you.

Baffles the mind how a professional ref doesn't just think to themselves, "if CB goes this way, good shot, if that way, foul" before the shot is even taken.

Would've been nice to see Yapp call a foul on himself there. I get it, if ref doesn't call it, it's not a foul, and as a player you just take those when it's your turn. I know one thing for certain; Ronnie O'Sullivan would have called it on himself.

I don't think whoever was in charge of the tannoy helped, Yapp paused as he was clearly at the very least in doubt if it was legal or not, the crowd seemed to half clap as if they weren't sure either and then quite quickly it was announced over the tannoy that Yapp was the champion. The ref should have called it, but it's possible she wanted a second to think before making the decision and never really got a chance.

I watch some pro snooker and can't believe some of the shots that fall..clean balls and clean cloth some will never experience it.

In snooker the fans and top players have been complaining they've been making the pockets too easy.

Raises the question: Should refs based calls on physics.

Of course. We do it all the time with double hits when the CB and OB are very close together. Just observe the path of the CB after collision. This situation with Yapp on the 8-ball is less obvious, but fundamentally no different. Knowledge of physics provides a definitive answer. And in this case, it was a clear foul.
