If you are worried about object balls spinning or the cue ball with that crazy spin that doesn't stop, you just add a bit of time to your normal time and move on. Say, you have a 30-second shot clock, you agree to a 40-second shot clock and move on.

Of course, each problem brings with it new opportunities. You could create a pause/reset/extension button that goes next to the table that would reset the shot clock without having to touch the cue ball. But I see this technology as the future.

Do you also want the pockets to be increased to 5 inches?

I haven't watched all of the matches, but that seems to be exceptional- most players seem to be struggling on the break. Even Shane was struggling to make a ball.

There seemed to be plenty of 3 and 4 packs though

Running out that much should be exceptional, not something that a good player can do on any day

Bergman and Fu win the 3rd set 4-0!!! They will play the winner of Gorst/Hung vs. Zielinksi/Seo.

Shaw and Centeno should have won the second set and the match. A few glaring errors.

I thought the game changed when it become more about safety battles. Shaw started to instruct Centeno more instead of letting her just play her game. A mistake in my view.

While Shaw and Centeno played some good safeties, Fu and Bergman were better. At no point did I see Bergman instructing Fu at all. They consulted a few times, but he was not a man doing any pointing.

Fu is a legendary player that took quite a few years off from the game. She has won the World 9ball, the World Teams championship, the World Heyball, and two China Opens. Had she not taken a long break, she might have become a BCA Hall of Famer.

I have never seen Fu and wondered who she was. Love to know why she has gotten back in the game - she sure has looked good! Playing and beating Mast now with a chance to get to the final 8 on the women's side.

He came, he just didn't play the tournament. He hustled a few guys, most notably Richie Florence for over 25K one year.

I know you wrote this twenty years ago, but could you tell the story if you still remember. I heard it from I think Weenie Beanie. Didn't it also involve a car or something.
