International Open 2025

Can't STAND watching one pocket on a livestream. NOBODY pays attention to what's going on. The announcers never know, the players don't even know, and the referee certainly is clueless, as to what is happening on the table.
Hall shoots 8 ball uptable, knocks both a stripe and the 8 into same pocket uptable, and the dumbass referee only spots the 8. NEITHER player noticed, the announcers didn't notice. Gomez shoots the spotted ball back uptable, then the dumbass ref sees the stripe in the ball return and goes to spot it, leaving Hall with a straight in bank. Somebody had to tell him that it doesn't spot until after Hall's inning. It's almost as bad as watching the NFL!
They can put a ref's shirt on just about anyone. Any good referee should be well vetted before officiating a tournament, especially a major one.
