Matchroom have told him he didn't enter enough sanctioned events to be eligible for selection. He was pretty annoyed as he only learned this just before he was going to play his match in the U.S Open. Quite a few players had to play the Philippines Open to be eligible, but Billy had missed so many events didn't even make a difference if he went to the the Philippines or not.

I don't think it's a terrible rule, but they should make an exception when it's exceptional circumstances. I think Lucas Varner has been ruled out for the same reasons when he missed events whilst recovering from a car crash. That seems unfair to me.

well the problem in this case is that next on the eligibility ladder is like hunter lombardo.. maybe meglino in between (who in fairness is good, but slow). but it's a pretty steep step after sky, it kind of drops down to players that are 100 fargo points below filler.

ive been sick now 4 days. I wanted to give this a try to figure out why i did not like it.
Now when I think this, you nailed it. It does not transfer directly to any game.
Also you need to "give up" a lot. admit defeat and roll out. I don´t like that.
I don´t want bash things but I feel this one is not so good as it sounds first.
Just some thoughts..

A new way to run pool competitions on real tables, online in a 3D arena

dreamache
In my camera tracking/projection software FusionCue, I've created a 3D tournament arena that features live play across different challenges for every FusionCue user.

You can actually visit the 3D arena as a casual visitor here: https://fusioncue.com/daily-rack (Works best on tablet/desktop)

Login to view embedded media
The idea is simple. Each day there are 3 new challenges. Each user gets 1 try at each, and their score/time is tracked automatically, along with every shot.
- A 9 ball break and run challenge.
- An "instant recall" challenge. Everyone gets the same layout, and those who finished fastest with fewest misses wins.
- A shootout challenge, which is all about pocketing balls over 10 different layouts.

For the first time, people who own pool tables can now make more use of them in a competitive and unique environment.

This system will expand in the future, where we'll have large internet-based tournaments and competitions with potentially thousands of users and spectators. This will open up a whole new revenue stream for sponsors and players.

Of these 3 CF shafts, which do you have or would purchase?

I posted this in another forum, but some may find it interesting on this thread

Been using a wood shaft for the past 30 years and started using a low deflection wood shaft around 2021. First, it was the Mezz than Predator Vantage, love the hit and feel of the Vantage shaft. Around Sept 2025, I decided to try a carbon shaft as I got tired of fixing the small dings on the wood shaft, first it was a Rhino, hated the feel of the shaft as it has this high pitch sound. A few months after, I decided to get a Predator Revo, Predator Revo felt better, less "ping" on most shots. Been using Rhino most of the time as this is the shaft that I felt comfortable leaving at the locker at the pool room. after a year, I decided to try the Vantage shaft, to my surprise, I did not like the hit and feel of the shaft, it felt dead and lifeless....

edit: the Vantage shaft is a wood shaft by Predator
