2025 Battle of the Bull (9-Ball), August 2025

WNT.TV is not good at highlighting upcoming events. They basically don't. You just have to check on the day of the event.

From what I can see, they are showing one table from most and maybe even all WNT ranking events.

WNT carried one table of matches from the following: Battle of the Bull, Seattle Open, Diamond Open, Taom Open, Scottish Open, Mezz Hill Estonia Open, Knight Shot Open and the CPBA 99 Open. There may have been others, but I don't recall.

The matches have to be watched live or within a three-hour window. WNT.TV does not keep taped versions of the matches because the rights belong to its partners. The partners usually offer streams of more/all tables on other platforms such as Digital Pool or Railbirds TV.

I watched the SVB-Chua final on Saturday night not knowing it was actually being played (I thought it would take place Sunday).

I started watching an hour into the match, but I rewound on WNT.TV to start at the beginning. The three-hour buffer worked without a problem - that hasn't always been the case. Only problem is trying to avoid seeing the score before you rewind.

Don't lose your place if you are still watching and the three-hour buffer has ended. If you get knocked out or close the website, the match is lost for good.

Still, very pleased with the improved reliability of WNT.TV since the Florida Open. Still more kinks to be worked out but ... well, the first few days of the WPC were a nightmare.

44 Breaks & Only 3 Chances

Just got done racking and breaking racks of 9-Ball on my Gold Crown IV. I counted and I broke 44 racks and only had three decent chances to run out. I got out once and hosed up the two others.

This has been going on for years and years and years. I know you posters are sick and tired of hearing it. But I've just about reached my wits end with this GCIV. It has to be a bad breaking table. And even when I did make a ball almost every time I had a real bad spread, literally no chance at all.

I guarantee you that if my renters decide they don't want to renew my upstairs apartment above my garage for storage next year I am going to get a Diamond Professional table. I've just had it with this GCIV. And yes, like I said in the other thread, that means I will have two home tables. Once I convince myself the Diamond Professional is a better playing table I will either just keep both or try and sell the GCIV.

Stay tuned...........

Wood rack or template? If you aren't firing the wing ball in with a template rack, I would switch to another version. Fedor's new rack is pretty good.

Agreed that 3 looks out of 44 breaks is not very promising, but it also seems statistically improbable. What do you mean "3 decent chances to run out."? What about the number of times you could control the table after the break (being able to see the lowest ball)? As Stu hinted, you can't (and shouldn't) try to run every rack.

Anyone play in TAP League?

I don't know of any and don't know if it is possible. To go into FargoRate the league would have to be run in FargoRate LMS software. Because TAP has its own software, I assume the results would need to be entered a second time.
Thanks. I guess that currently rules out most TAP leagues from reporting to Fargo...

Who knows - in 10 years time all the various leagues might have a 'report to Fargo' button in their software. Stranger things have happened.

Shaft length

simple: demand. they can only make 'em so fast. worldwide demand is huge. same thing with mezz stuff. these aren't ford/gm with huge assembly lines.
