AzBilliards' Donny Mills is steamrolling ahead against local Virginia favorite Chris Futrell, 6-2 at the time of this writing.

Virginia native Brandon Shuff is trailing his man, getting pounded by R. DaBreo, 4 to 1.

Canadian M. Morra is way out in the lead against New Jerseyean Ed Culhane, 6-zip.

This is the losers side, folks. Whoever gets beat is out of the tournament. :sorry:

I'm trying to figure out who some of these names are. The kid that's playing Brandon Shuff is from Sandcastle Billiards, Rafael DaBreo (depicted on the left). Nice looking kid! :)

I can see I'm not going to get any work done today, dag nab it. :o

And the fun is just starting. This afternoon's winners matches are going to be the best pool yet. :)
 
Obama on TV, pool on the computer. Pool on the computer, Obama on TV.

Decisions, decisions. :grin:

Raphael's been one of my best friends since we were both C players... I'm still a C player, he got better. :)

He's an up and coming player from Brooklyn. His homeroom is Steinway Billiards in Queens, NY. This is his first major tournament, but I think you'll hear his name again.

He sure is handsome. Steinway Billiards seems to be "the" place to play pool in your neck of the woods.

He might have gotten better, Cleary, but you've got something that money can't buy, and that's that beautiful wife and daughter of yours. Pool is cool, but family trumps all. ;)

That said, the chart hasn't changed in a while. Biting nails now. :o
 
Donny Mills wins, 11-3. Chris Futrell is out of the tournament.

Brandon Shuff is crawling back, trailing 4 to 5 against Rafael DaBreo.

Obama is still mumbling on the TV. ;)

Well, thank you! I do love my family! Raph's got himself a pretty girlfriend as well who's a very strong female pool player herself, Rhio Anne Flores. She's currently giving me the play by play via text. It's currently 5-4
 
The brackets do not come up for me on my tablet or work computer. Is there a link anywhere to a NON-AZB site with the brackets?

On PC, you can see the brackets with any browser besides Internet Explorer, for some reason.

After you click that *first* bracket icon, which is located to the right of the red LIVE button, then you have to click a second bracket icon, right beneath it. See the red arrow I made? Click that after you click the first bracket icon. It is confusing.

Then put your cursor INSIDE the barckets and drag up and down or left to right.

Where is Ratta? Your man came through, 11 to 5. Frank Scharbach lives to see another day at the Open. :smile:

Imran Majid wins his match, knocking out A. Pettenger.

Thank you everyone. I've been using the correct link but with IE. I'll try Firefox.

Yes, Firefox and Google Chrome will work for you better. Be sure to click that second bracket icon. You're in like Flynn now. :cool:
 
Brandon Shuff now takes the lead in a neck-and-neck battle with Rafaeol DaBreo, 7 to 6.

Raj Hundal is out, getting defeated in a close race 11 to 9 against Japanese player, H.Hijikata.
 
Brian Parks, 2 time US Amature Champion, bests Reinaldo Perez of Puerto Rico 11 - 6 on the B side. While not playing his best game he got 'drilled' last night 11 - 4 by Johnny Archer putting him on the B side.
 
Meh, not really. No actual left click on tablet and I can't install any new browsers on my computer at work... Can someone take a screenshot of Bart's travels thru the bracket please?
 
Canadian M. Morra advances, 11 to 4 against New Jersey good guy, Ed Culhane.

I'm not sure WHY Brandon v. Rafael DaBreo's match is taking so long. Wow! 8 to 7, Brandon's favor.

Most of the other matches ended a while ago.

Stevie Moore out of the tournament, getting defeated by Japanese player, M. Shimano, 11 to 8.
