I like the balls other than the branding on the cueball where you are basically paying a higher price for the balls to come with someone else's logo which you don't want in the first place. Hopefully you will be able to buy a set without that logo.

I found an image of a non-electronic Cardball scoreboard that features magnetic markers.

Then again, Filler is missing some bunnies. New balls? New cloth? Who knows. He was cruising before today.

Tyler and Lukas pick up 2,000 Mosconi points apiece for getting to the final 32. Win the next round and instead earn 4,000 points. Lukas has a tough one vs Alcaide. Styer plays Kazakis.


As things now stand,

Homann: 20,550
Fracasso-Verner: 18,000
Styer: 10,020
Gorst: 8,370
Wodward: 6,400

What's the size of these? If 54mm or 50mm they could be south American balls for the game "Mata-Mata".

Forgot to mention it, they are 57mm balls. I guess they are just normal balls, not from any specific game. That's why my first guess was a "build your own set" thing.

Looks like they are pricing these new balls at the top of the market ($399 US). The days of $99 Dynaspheres appear to be gone.

Teutscher is an interesting case, his price was correlated with an implied rating of about 730, which would put him in the bottom quarter of the field by skill level. That was borne out with a 5-3 loss to Bustamante and 5-1 to DeLawder. Bettors clearly knew that he wouldn't play to an 800+ in this event.

I gotta start looking at vids I guess. Missing out on a lot of good info. Forgive the plagiarism. Unintentional, I assure you.
I don't do YouTube or Facebook or any of the social networking sites except this one. Love's me some AZ.

It’s 9.5 minutes long.
Consider watching it.

Fargo ratings for OP would be hard to calculate. For example Lunda, Compton, Hall and Chohan are accomplished players in rotation games but not at the levels of the top tier like Filler, Gorst, Yapp and SVB to name a few. Lunda and company just don’t possess the skills to win a Major rotation event. But they can and do win major OP events. So Fargo ratings are limited in what information it can provide.

Thanks for the share.

I saw that one and rewound it about 7x.

Pretty basic ticky when the balls are in a line close to the corner, but 20 cm away? I won't try it

I might get hurt.

I'd be shocked if Dohr won. Race to 10, Filler just needed to get to the table.

I like the new balls in an odd sort of way. I can distinguish all the balls on the table easier than ever.

Never seen Dohr before. Back to back break-and-runs and now he's at the table trying to go up 3-0 on Filler.

He looks nervous but playing well so far.
