Our boys are all business.

Thanks a lot for the videos, nice to get a glimpse of the best pool tournament in the world that the geniuses at Kozoom and Qatar decided to keep for themselves.

There are still matches Monday that'll decide who gets into the Final 64.

Those 2-0 are in, but Shane, Shaun Wilkie, Oscar, and Sky are all 1-1. They need to win tomm to make it into the Final 64.
 
32 / 64

I still don't understand, at the very least, why kozoom couldn't set-up and record the matches and stream them on demand via YouTube or even their site?
That statement by the kozoom CEO of a 2016 professional streaming website, on not being able to guarantee 100% streaming for the heavy demand on the final matches was laughable after he mentioned a platform like YouTube would be more ideal and could take the work load.

So it's all or nothing.

But this gracious gentleman G man on YouTube with his phone can post clips and appears 100% more committed to the game than kozoom and qatar.

Announcement from Kozoom fb page:

"To all Pool fans who were expecting seeing Kozoom taking care of the Live Streaming coverage of the 2016 World 9-Ball Championship. To stop rumours and make it clear for everyone, let me clarify why Kozoom are not covering this championships:

Kozoom was contacted by the QBSF in order to take care of the coverage like the previous years. The budget has never been a problem in our discussions with the QBSF and we can only be glad for their loyalty and trust in Kozoom. Unfortunately, I have decided to decline this coverage because we were not able to guarantee technically an unlimited number of free viewers on our platform, which was the request of the QBSF. We had a bad experience during the final match last year and, even after improving the capacity of our platform, it was not possible to guarantee a stable and good service in case of feed cut (bandwidth capacity can be improved easily to match with the increase of viewers but not thousands and thousands of html requests). You have to understand that our platform has been built to provide PPV services to billiards community, which of course means automatically less viewers. With the World 9-Ball, we expect > 30,000 simultaneous viewers, which would mean > 40,000 if we cumulate our other events that we have to handle at the same time (3-Cushion Open in New-York and the Pool ECs in Albania). This amount of viewers all simultaneously would put the quality we provide at risk & that would not be fair to our fans. I believe that only a huge platform like Youtube could handle such audiences but taking this direction would mean we could not have provided the added features that you are used to receiving with Kozoom productions.

To conclude, please do not blame the QBSF who are still one of the best promoters of our sport over the last decade as this would be unfair & please do not blame Kozoom for not doing something we cannot guarantee today. We want to protect the quality of our service and our reputation.

Xavier Carrer
CEO Kozoom Group"

So why not just use YouTube like politicians do to live stream mega rallies from anywhere.
The technology is out there but the pride and joy in the sport is clearly not.
 
What if they put on a World 9-Ball Championship and no one knew? Next year it will be held in a secret location and the players sworn to secrecy. :grin:
