shaun murphy could get the steam up after two fairly soft matches.. i like the odds

When I was much younger, the Billiard Congress of America was the governing body for rules in Cue Sports. It doesn't appear so today. As different tours, sponsors and events became common, rules began to blur and change. One common rule issue is the frozen ball stroke. We all know the issues with that shot. The APA and BCA haven't helped either with their large numbers of amateur members. This has spilled over to referee's and their training and knowledge base. Players IMO haven't helped by not calling fouls on themselves. Top caliber players shouldn't wait for the ref's call when they know they fouled.

You don’t need it but I do. You can send the 10k via cashiers check or PayPal. You can also buy the table directly from Diamond and have it delivered to my house.

Don't write off Robertson & Ding even though they are in much tougher top half. They are the dark horses. Really, they only have to beat maybe 3 World Champions. No sweat.

Casual fans don’t want to watch referees, in any sport, looking at replays. It isn’t casual fan friendly and pool needs numbers.

I don't agree with that. I think in most matches the viewer wants 1 player or the other to win which makes the outcome of the call very important. I think the viewer also wants to see a replay of the shot so he can make an informed decision himself on whether its a good hit or not.

Looks fun but I bet those pants are no good for sitting around.

Did the same person also tell you that if the cue ball is very close to or touching the rail you move it a chalk width away??

I use the radius of the cue butt x2 at my house.
