Pretty much an all-Asia field, but I'll celebrate the conception of any new Matchroom major. Late correction: this is not a major, but it is a big step forward to have a WNT ranking event in Taipei and it's great that it's on WNT-TV.

There should be some fine pool on display come Thursday. Good luck to all of these fine players.

Mistakes were made.

I’ve been watching this for 25 years. It’s a Christmas tradition at our house. We love it. I don’t even play darts anymore but I still watch. This brings up a thought though. Same guys running PDC and WNT. Been 25 years of them growing the game of dats. Unquestionable, Darts has grown. However, the state of darts here in the US isn’t much different than 25 years ago. Do they really make an effort or pay lip service? Curious if it will be the same with pool.

Williebetmore is Donald Wardell, M.D., not Jeanette Lee. Dr. Wardell and Jeanette were good friends when they lived close to each other in Indiana. While it's possible that he let her post something on AzB using his screen name, I don't know whether that ever happened.

Dr. Wardell was given credit by Mark Wilson as the co-author of Mark's book Play Great Pool.

Don and Jeanette are still good friends. He was with her at SBE this past year.

The original question was what affect would cold temperatures have on pool balls... not how many people leave them exposed to those temperatures!

I replaced the tip that came with it and put two Le Pro tips to raise the Pagulayan chalk. I may shellac the wood shaft.
