Attendance in Hanoi seems down this year. Flooding clearly has something to do with it. Wonder if there is anything else?

Excess moisture has a lot to do with the quality of play also.
Back in the action days, manny road players went broke in Houston because of wet tables.

Not true, Skog.

Duong finished 5th in the European Open, 9th in the UK Open, 9th in the World Pool Championship, 3rd in the Battle of the Bull (stacked field), 9th in the US Open and 9th in the World 10 Ball championship. He's been making deep runs in most tournaments this year.

The Florida Open was the only major event this year he failed to get to the final 32.

really? feels like i haven't seen him on a tv table since WCOP with chua

edit: i think we're not talking about the same guy lol. dodong diamond = aranas

Well done Canada on second place. Interesting to see in the semi final, Alex started taking balls out before the white had stopped rolling (by a millisecond). Ref called it but it seems like they then let it go
Silly of Alex but well done on the ref (or maybe Peru players) for not enforcing it when it really makes no difference - yes I know it’s the rule but.,

Duong loses 10-5 to Roberto Gomez. He self destructed much like Woodward did in his loss to Gomez.

Gomez had the easiest draw of anyone who got to the round of 64. He has no business being in the final 16, but his opponents gifted him a number of times.

I've now seen Chua, Woodward and Duong self destruct in very visible ways. Odd.

Big ball only goes forward a little bit so once it gets through that, it starts rolling back.

Thanks for the flashback. It's been so long since I struck a punkin ball.
The paths available and the methods prefered.

Quigley Down Under would of said, "I didn't say I couldn't draw the big rock. I just prefer not to need to. "

or some pin like that.

10b last blows. Makes the game too boring. We play WPA with the stip. you can legally carom/combo to win.

There may be others, but that's of the very few rules that I can think of where CSI and WPA rules differ...

iirc the rules changed around 2013

Pool is horrible to watch with no shot clocks. Even Major League baseball was smart enough to do something to speed up the game.
