Update thread for the 8 ball portion. I may update a few games here and there... please feel free to other watchers to use this thread.

5 minutes before start time, John and Corey are discussing different cleaners used on the balls.
 
Schmidt 3
Deuel 1

Corey missed 2 balls in the match thus far that were very uncharacteristic. Both players are breaking hard.
 
John scratches on break.
Several racks now the balls congregated on the magic rack, and was very difficult to remove (much different than a 9 or 10 ball rack).

Corey BIH studying layout for couple minutes. Corey maneuvers cue on many shots, bumping balls (intentionally), trying to make something happen.

Corey makes a great bank off rail into ball to move the ball into scoring position.

Almost scratches getting position on 8. Almost bobbles 8.

Great runout. Super tough. Says "I'm an idiot for even trying to run out".

Schmidt 4
Deuel 2
 
Corey busts them wide open. No clusters. No balls near rail. Excellent cue ball control, but makes no ball...

Schmidt manages the rack nicely, staying in line every shot, and gets the runout.

Schmidt 5
Deuel 2
 
John slug racks himself twice now (with magic rack), but OB comes around and breaks out the cluster left in rack area. No ball pocketed, Corey has tricky layout.

Both players come to the table a few times.

Corey and John flip to see if jump cues are allowed.
Then Justin says jump cues allowed. lol.

Corey makes a super tricky 3 ball out.. .no, misses last solid ball (tough shot). John now has tough shot on his last ball. Goes for bank, and makes it. Straight on 8.

Schmidt 6
Deuel 2
 
John breaks dry, leaves several clusters. Corey at table, trying his best to navigate them. Corey gets out of line (super tricky out), and is forced to shoot very hard off angle shot to corner, misses it. John comes to table with a good layout.

Wow, John dogs a ball I might have made! Corey back to table, but still tricky. Has to bank first ball, misses it, but played it 2 ways and cue ball is behind 8, forcing John to cluster his only open ball with one of Corey's.

Couple back and forth innings just playing safeties.

Corey comes with a straight back bank, and runs out.

Schmidt 6
Deuel 3
 
Corey breaks, gets great spread, only 1 cluster, and made a ball. Misses break out with cue, but has another chance at it. Now he gets the breakout of cluster. Bumps a ball inadvertently, and has to come with trough cut. Runs out. Break and run.

Schmidt 6
Deuel 5
 
Awesome updates thus far anyone know if they will be re running the stream between sets?? Id like to watch but I'm at work for another 2:5 hours
 
Schmidt 6
Deuel 7

Corey's first lead.

I'm not positive, but the past few TAR's have looped the prior day's match continuously until an hour or before the next day's start time.
 
Corey game 13 makes the classic mistake of leaving a ball for the side pocket as his key ball. Blows what should have been an easy out, but still gets the8-ball despite the mistake. This is the misleading part about watching the pros. A lot of people have no idea how his bad pattern play would have crushed the lesser shotmaker.

Hope so. Even if I can't watch I'm still gonna shoot the money at it. I like to support TAR as much as I can.

Thanks for the update and if anyone has a forsure answer it would be much appreciated.
