Matchroom Improvement list

I have been playing pool for about 5 years and use traditional color balls. I am color blind and I get mixed up with the blue 2 (especially if it’s the darker blue) and purple 4 a lot, and sometimes between the red 3 and brown 7.
I never played with the MR set, but viewing on TV, I have problems distinguishing the pink 4 from the green 6 and to a lesser extent the red 3 from brown 7. That's why I like the ball runner that shows which balls are still in play, it helps a lot.

Maybe they need a target audience of color blind people to figure what's the best colors for regular play and TV audience because some colors might show up different on TV.

Philippine Open

apparently a 40+ year old pool room owner, hardly a pro player. not finding any history that he has been, either. he wore a world pool masters shirt though
I've been in several Manila area poolrooms over the years and played the room owner. Usually they are fairly good players.
On another note I was glad to see the Philippine refs being used. These guys have lots of experience and don't feel the need to follow the shooter around the table and stand behind them. Every time I saw a ref running around the table to get into "position," it looked like a dog and pony show. Just totally unneccessary.
