International Open 2025

Sometimes things go unnoticed especially when there's alot going on. I haven't done commentary in lately and at my age it's difficult to be consistently on point. Imo I felt that the entire production was done well hopefully we can do better. Enjoy your day.
I enjoyed your commentary. As you know, you don't need to explain everything....only players watch one pocket.

Is removing your glove a shark move?

I think it’s time this is discussed…

It’s hill-hill, ur opponent scratches on the break. Then walks over to his chair and removes his glove as if the outcome of the match is already determined.

How is this not considered dismantling of equipment, just like breaking down a cue, which is universally considered a forfeit?

I’ve seen that a number of times here at the INT open…. As well as one player who broke down his jump cue and put it in his bag while his opponent was still shooting.

Why Dbl Elimination ?? Lets be Single

Players never decide anything in this game. It’s always the room owners, promoters, & industry. Double elimination keeps people captive in the establishment - table time, food, drinks, side-action, all of it.
Well if it is double elimination and you lose your first match you don't have to stick around for the next match if you don't really want to be there.
People make comebacks from the "loser's bracket" and win tournaments all the time. Just a few more games to play. Nothing wrong with that to me. I bet we've all been there.
Of course the establishment want to keep the place busy and make some money out of it. That's why they are there in the first place.
