Sofia Mast "retiring?" The state of American pool

David in FL
When she's around, Sofia plays out of our room here. A local power league on Wednesdays, though obviously fewer local tournaments than in years past. A super young lady. Always smiling, quiet, and polite when kicking my ass which she's done since she was about 12... 😑

I talked to her last night and she's excited about starting school here in January at the local state college.

She may or may not eventually transfer to one of the larger, national culinary schools like Johnson and Wales or the CIA, but for the meantime is staying local. She really enjoys baking and at least at this point wants to focus on pastry as a specialty rather than orienting towards a more generalized culinary career.

She's absolutely not planning to "retire" or giving up on pool though.

Shaw vs. Doung Quoc Hoang

Based on what I could hear of his discussion with the ref and some information from a Viet friend who understands the commentary, I think the sequence went that Shaw believed Hoang was breaking soft on Day 1. On Day 2 Shaw won a bunch of games in a row and got a warning for breaking too slow. I think Shaw said to the ref (during the blow up) that Hoang had received no warning.

I presume that Shaw was unhappy with what he perceived as more soft breaking on day 3 with no action by the referee, so he unscrewed his breaker and started breaking soft with his playing cue (presumably on the theory “if soft breaks are okay I’m going to do it too”) and then got warned and blew up because he feels Hoang’s soft breaks are allowed and his aren’t.

After the lengthy break, they agreed to use the 3 point break rule. Apparently the promoter had suggested that before the event and Jayson had rejected it, but eventually accepted it as a solution at this stage.
