Ken has explained it several times on the stream. I've tried to pay attention every time.
Since you didn't give me an answer, I guess tried is the key word in your responce. :smile:
Chang wins 9-6 . Darren threw the towel when Chang was about to shoot the 10
Next match is Efren v Morra. Cheng is in another group. Other match in same group as Efren is Ralf vs little Ko
He talked right over Billy I the first night. Billy was the star in that booth...not Ken. Johnnyt
Somebody sneak up and cut the referees hair!!! Dang hippies are everywhere.....
Kenny has a wealth of knowledge, but he's a blabbermouth. I spent about 10min at MC with him in the casino, and when I walked away, I was dizzy..... they need someone like Jay in booth.

Ken is fine. Though just now it was bizarre when Ken was ranting continuously that Darren was not getting rolls and sounded bit like Earl . I mean isn't bad rolls part of the game? We don't hear Efren complaining about bad rolls.
It is the other guy, Bobby who is the joker and seems to be in a daze .. asking silly stuff like are they playing 4 matches in group stage when there are 4 players in each group- Ya, each player also has to play 4th match against ghost :thumbup:
Morra leading Efren 3-1.
That was one of the things I really liked about the World 9-ball championship stream (among other things), no commentary at all. You could just sit and watch and listen to the game and not have to listen to some guy trying to explain what does not need to be explained.
Mute is a non-option because you lose the sound of the game.
Commentary in pool is a waste of money and I would rather have it ditched all together. My non-pool playing friends have often also been of the opinion that the commentary in pool is one of the things that is the most "amateurish" in the presentation of pro pool and one of the things that makes the whole thing come off poorly.
Pool could take a hint from snooker on this, even in big events the commentary is quite limited, the commentators spend much of their time silent and let the viewer simply watch and hear the sounds of the game. Snooker commentators certainly do "NOT" sit and yammer on about irrelevant goofy musings and if they did they would not be commentating on snooker broadcasts for long. Why pool promoters have gotten the idea that this is OK and let it continue is beyond me.
IMHO, Jay has probably best overall knowledge in terms of on table technical knowledge, off table knowledge of global game/players worldwide. Jim has great on table knowledge but bit lacking off table stuffI enjoy Jay Helfert, Jim Wyche, Mark Wilson & Billy I. Billy Gibbs is pretty good tonly think he does Accu Stats though.
Mark Wilson is impressive. First heard him recently commentate recently. I like his scouting assessment of players and his technical knowledge. He is terrific choice to lead Mosconi Cup
Have not heard of Billy I and Gibbs commentate
I agree with that 100%. Irritates me to no end. That is what sets the Matchroom events apart from the streams. I know challenge matches etc. are often far longer but sometimes less is more:smile:
I just wish someone would do some homework if they know they are going to commentate & make some notes to be able to speak about the players past accomplishments etc. or know the structure of the tournament they are commentating.
Souquet leading his match 4-1.
