Hi all

I’m curious if others feel the same, because lately it’s become a real headache trying to follow cuesports events — especially snooker and even the new, fast-growing HeyBall tournaments.

We just had several international events here in Australia, and honestly… it was a horrible experience trying to find out scores or even basic updates. No central hub, no live scoring, barely any communication. In a few cases it was literally easier to wait for players to post their own results on Facebook — and a couple were even kind enough to livestream their own matches just so people could follow what was happening. That alone tells you something.

Cuesports keeps talking about “growing the game,” but if fans, players, and federations can’t even access results in real time, how are we supposed to build momentum?

I’m wondering how things are on the other side of the world.
For the players and fans in the U.S. — is it just as difficult to get live scores and updates when events are running?
Or do the tournament organisers over there do a better job of keeping people informed?

Would love to hear your experiences, good or bad.

Stay well,
