one question...

Would there have been consequences if the two players playing on big trucks stream wouldnt have agreed to take that 3 hour break so u could broadcast your challenge matches?

And if there were going to be consequences, did Mark Griffin know about it?

You're getting this stirred up?
Lmao
Brutal

I still really don't get it, why, what did the guys at the pool room have to do with a free challenge match at the casino. No way would it have cost viewers. They can watch 2 at once.

Congrats to CSI on another successful BCAPL extravaganza.

I don't care for rotation games on a bar table, but I bought the stream for the US Open 8-ball and definitely got my money's worth.

I am pleased to announce that due to your support, this was the most watched pay-per-view event in the history of CSI. Onsite spectators, pay-per-view customers, and total sales were all significantly higher than previous years. Many customers have commented that it was one of the best live stream productions they have ever seen.ments for next year. Again, thank you for your support!

Wow how come this doesn't have an answer yet...maybe I'll make it a separate thread on its own. I was watching the Oscar vs Sky match and I was totally baffled they would take a random ass 3 hour break. I personally think it had an impact on the final score as well. As an east coast person it was tough to fade seeing the match I wanted to resume at 11pm...that match was way better than the 8 ball and 10 ball for funsies

Since I left CSI I have stayed away from commenting on anything they do. They need to answer this though because the rumor floating around..if true..is one of the worst examples of bullying I have ever heard of.

This bullying the 3 players or Bigtruck, if true, needs to be outed quickly. If proven true, all top players should never play another minute EVER for CSI. I figured something like this was going on here. I really hope I'm wrong. When something like this is not explained "WHY" right from the beginning, it usually means the rumor are right.

Hold up a $40,000 match to show a rinky-dink $1500 match never made any sense to me. Johnnyt

Someone told me in passing and my jaw just dropped. The rumor is absolutely horrible. The rumor is beyond strong arming especially given the Mosconi Cup implications along with future sanctions. People having choices on what they are viewing is a good thing. CSI def needs to respond or else the rumors will just be considered confirmed.

Bergman's match wasn't delayed.

Thanks Watchez.

Now, can we get back to the actual matter at hand, strong arming of the players and the Bigtruck stream? Anyone want to chime in on what they heard?

The way I see this is customers paid for the Bigtruck stream, and many were put out by the 3 hour delay.

I am sure there are more than a few people who could not watch the remainder of the match due to the delay and far later time it ultimately ended because of the "break".

CSI caused those customers to miss the end of the stream they they paid for is what I I am reading here...

Actually Celtic, I was involved so I know what happened. Just wanted to clarify the one point of who was involved.

And you analysis of the result is pretty minor compared to the larger issue at hand.

My analysis of the result is limited by the fact that people in the "know" are going to keep whistling to themselves and in effect protect CSI by not outing their actions. Pretty common place on AZB and in the pool community as a whole.

Keep protecting the golden goose, never mind the fact that it just keeps shitting into your hand. We will get that golden egg, next time...

It is called the Golden Rule. It works in all business and life in general. Why does anyone who is not a partner, invested or owner in any company think they have the right to know anything about the inner deals? I would fire all you complainers, not allowing you to be my customers

You don't want to hold your breath waiting for it if I had to guess.

If what people have eluded to is even close to reality CSI simply wants this thread on page 11 ASAP.
