I'm not saying there is a conspiracy, I'm saying the neutral racker might put up a rack with gaps. Having a neutral racker will give random racks preventing pattern racking, but it shouldn't force the breaker to hit a slug rack.

If you were watching the stream, they did everything they could to accommodate Mika, and he was STILL crying.
They didn't force anything.
Which is the basis of my point.

Do you really think that the rackers involved are going to give a bad rack at this point in the game?
I don't think so.

He is probably just proving his point... why change it now, and here you go for doing so.

This is for Mika's THIRD US Open Championship in a row, and definitely one of the biggest pool tournaments in the world. If the rack is off, the rack is off. He has every right in the world to be 100% SURE it's nice and tight. He's not "crying", he just wants a fair chance at playing his best pool, and a controlled break with a shot at your next objective ball is huge at this level...bigger than spectators or people on forums "crying" that he wants a rack done right.

Can anyone confirm if it was Jay racking?

Jay was/is still racking.

Mika won the first rack with a 7-9 combo

Corey played an incredible safe on the 8, hiding the cue ball behind the 9 and then made a great bank on the 8 after Mika hit the 8 on kick.

It's tied 1-1, Corey breaking

Jay is Not racking for the Cory mika match. Eric Hu knows who it is some head ref for the Bca

Sounds like Ken Schuman (sp?). Barry appointed Ken as the TD a few years ago. Between being the TD and a certified ref, it would make sense for Ken to stand watch over the final matches.

He is not Ken. It is someone I have never seen before and I have been coming here for years.

Neither of the players are accepting the rack they are first given. Bill Stock then re-racks and they just have to accept the rack then.
