That guys gonna get a splinter in his chin

LOL.... :grin:

That guy is one of the best snooker players over here but he also plays a great game of pool.
He is also an international snooker referee and a World Snooker certified instructor.
 
It is.... :grin-square:

Several years ago, I saw this guy from Canada playing on the action table and in the tournament with an ash snooker cue. I think his name was Binion or something like that. He was tall, dark, and quite handsome! :smile:

Thanks for the pics. I always love pictures, especially seeing pool around the world. Great contribution to the forum!
 
seems you don't have a dress code applied at the national championship ;)

Actually there was a dress code but it was not enforced on the first round...
It will be on the final 16 this coming Tuesday.
 
Some excellent photos. Thanks for posting. By the way, what's the new camera?

Thank you :grin-square:

The new camera is Nikon D700
I thought about the D300s but the D700 offer very low noise at high ISO which is something I like as I don't like to use flash that much.

Lenses I've used are the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 and Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR.
 
Here are the full galleries from the first round

DAY 1
I didn't bring my camera as I was playing that day and wanted to stay focused and not worried about my camera..... in between matches I've used my friend's D70s with a low quality lens.... that setup was not suitable for the lighting conditions and I had to work hard to bring these to usable condition....
