I just meant he was in Vegas- I was surprised to see him out there. I haven't been around a few years myself for the most part and figured he must have slowed down BY NOW!! He was very sick 20 years ago. No stoppin him i guess. No idea about the cue thing.
Your so full of crap, seriously. Shane was out, you know it as well as everyone else that is on here. He was not supposed to advance, the top person in the bracket advances and he was not it. Ralf could not pass his spot off to SVB. If he quits he loses, just like every other tournament on the planet, but CSI pulled a completely boneheaded and 100% wrong move.
That sounds reasonable. If the winner of each group represents that group in the finals then there must be a player to advance to complete the tournament. Are there any rules in place to describe this type of a situation from any other round robin tournament that is divided into two groups? If so then if someone could produce this in print then CSI should be off the hook.
Any ways, on a side note Ping is the best 18 year old player that I have ever seen play. He appears to have the seasoning of a player twice his age and also his demeanor at the table is very intimidating.

Trust me, younger guys travel way better and need way less recovery time. Im still recovering from my 4.5 hr flight from Vegas 3 days ago.
Round Robin has nothing to do with it, the round robin part was finished and Shane was eliminated. CSI will never be off the hook for this. People are being silly now.
"Technically speaking I agree with every one, however, lets give CSI the ability to explain before jumping to a conclusion." < ---- B I
How do you figure it's jumping to conclusion, if someone forfeits the other player gets a bye. For a hundred years probably.
Mark wants players to adhere to a code of conduct, and then he pulls this ****.

Billy lives near me down here. He now makes cues. And he still plays great.
Ping is trailing 4 to 1 lets see how well he responds from this kind of a deficit in the finals of a major tournament, being 18 years in age.

You meant KPC? Ko pin chung?
Major "show", the devil made me say it.
Depends on how the event is structured. If the top player from each group is supposed to advance and the top player has to withdraw then it's the promoter's right to fill the spot with the second highest finishing player in the group.
Anyway the buzz around the tournament room is that some folks feel Shane shouldn't have been put back in and others feel that it was the right move.
This isn't like every other tournament on the planet. It's a CSI INVITATIONAL tournament with their own rules and formats.
Not saying it was right or wrong, just saying that there is precedent in sports across the board for participants to be called back into the event when a higher finisher withdraws.
No question once you out your out,, your out because you lost ,,
I can assure you CSI will come up with some BS on why a dead player is allowed to come back and any other method is wrong ,, they probably add that their doing it for the people who are paying to see a match ,,,

I believe Pin is pronounced "ping" in Mandarin.
Actually, in this situation it's conceivable that EVERY player who finished second in their group is eligible to take an open spot in the single elimination rounds.
Umm, no?
Seriously, CSI killed any semblance of sport in this event. Watching SVB freeroll his way into a "win" is actually a little sickening to the stomach. The Ko brothers got completely screwed in this event by CSI and so did the fans of the "sport".
I paid CSI for it, but I am certainly not going to watch this crap after the BS. CSI can keep the money, hopefully they invest it well because as a person who has spent probably over $1000 on streams in my lifetime I am absolutely serious that I will NEVER buy another CSI event or support anything they are associated with. They have completely obliterated their reputation and have proven to have absolutely no concept of "fair play" and what is right and fair within the sport they are running events in.
If that rule was in place before the tournament started, then that's fine. If Ralf forfeited though, and instead of a forfeit they decided on the fly to put another player back in the tournament, then I don't buy it.
Or last place for that matter, if you're using the same logic I think you're using.
There really aint much u wankers couldnt pick apart and tar and feather a fellow for.. and for the same shit u prob done 1000x over urselves... why cause ur **** heads and really just need a good kick in the face.. go run ur own event right and show csi how its done
Noone said a peep about anything until suddenly SVB was on the table practicing. Ralf knew he had to go. They made the change on the fly. Ko knew NOTHING about it until mere minutes before the match started. It was BS.
