US Open 10-Ball & US Open 8-Ball

BRussell said:
In other news, Mike Dechaine played Danny Smith in the first round. Danny was playing perfectly and Mike had a couple of bad rolls - not having a shot after the break, etc., and Danny got up 7-1. Mike broke in game 9, had an easy open shot after the break, shot quickly and missed, and then forfeited before sitting back down.

Mike posted on Facebook that due to his forfeit he will no longer be playing in his scheduled challenge match.

If true, props to CSI for doing the right thing.

Someone needs to hold players accountable for their actions.
 
I'm sure there will be lots of great matches through out the next week. I'd love
to be able to support CSI but unfortunately the cost is a little more than I want
to pay.
I will be trying to keep up with all the news,reports and brackets. And good luck
to everyone who's there playing.

If last weekend was any indication, John M will be a tough one to beat.

I'm gonna hold out and try to watch Corey's challenge match. Should be a great show

Thanks to CSI for being able to put all this together
 
Looks like final 4 on the winners side is..

SVB vs Skylar Woodward
Rodney vs John Morra
 
I'm planning on attending the 8 ball event. Is it possible to see the matches without buying VIP seats?
 
Ended last night with two great matches:


klatt over Bergman in a hill-hill thriller.

Billy Thorpe with an epic come back over Thorsten, 10-8 after being down 8-3. Who says you can't come back being down by several games in an alternating break format?

More great pool to come today!

I read about that Thorpe comeback on Facebook when Billy posted about it. That is downright incredible.

I hope they plug Morris in place of Mike. Thats just piss poor sportsmanship. If Billy can come back from 8-3 down then why canyt Mike give it his all. He dont think, its one game at a time. Stratergery if the balls are not in your favor.

Also i have searched and can not find the brackets. I found the 2013 ones easy buy nothing for 2016. Anyone have a link or info on why they are not up?

I wish they had multiple stream tables cammed up so that they could pick the table with the most interesting match ups for live stream or the people who bought stream could vote when they say okay on Table 1 is Morris vs Schmidt, Table 2 is Bergmann vs Alex, and Table 3 is SVB vs Hohmann. Play starts in 1 hour. what do you want to see? Setup the facebook poll. Then play accordingly. And add to that that they could do a one match stream price of $5 and that gets you a temp password good for that match only. They might make more money because people will buy in on high interest matches, and they will buy in if they know they have free time for the next 2 hours only but not the rest of the day. CSI makes money then off someone who would have not bought the stream package at all.

My .02 cents worth.
 
I heard from a pretty good source that Mike was feeling quite ill during the match. If that's the case there may be some gray area here. Also I think it's somewhat ironic that they would replace Mike with Rodney given that he was banned for a short time a couple of years ago. I think it's fine just funny.

Rodney was down 6-2 and came back against SVB to win 10-7. Lowest Rodney can get now is 2nd. Wouldn't surprise me to see Rodney v. SVB again in the finals.
 
Guess everyone doesn't break and run all the time on the easy 7 footers

Maybe CSI is getting tips from the NFL

They don't miss often, that's for sure, but there have been some great matches. It's all about the opening: do they have a shot after the break, what happens with the push out, who wins the initial safety battle. But once that's over they're almost always out, more often than a 9-foot game, I think.
