Stream was fine today (Sunday).
I imagine they will stream some of the 2nd-chance event tomorrow (Monday) as well as the rounds of 16 and 8 (2:30 and 8:30) in the main event.

Thanks. Good point on them streaming the 2nd-chance event. Might check it out today, although not really wanting to watch another Shaw match.

I spent a few hours at Steinway on Saturday. There was a good crowd and all seemed to be going smoothly while I was there. Pretty busy, lots of matches, and the energy was high. As a spectator it was very enjoyable.
I'm curious about this too. I find the timing weird. To have the two final days (best days to watch) on a Mon/Tues seems really odd to me. If it ended on a Saturday/Sunday I would absolutely stream at least the final day if not both days. But since I have to work during the day I'm not sure I'll stream even the final day since I wouldn't be able to watch it all.
In their defense it's a holiday for many today. But yeah, a weekend finish seems like a good idea when practical.
The PPV was a little steep for me.
I'm trying to understand the procedures and scoring as it relates to a double-hill 5-shot shootout battle. For instance, Billy Thorpe's score was 18; Alex 15. If Billy made his first 5-shot set, would his score be 12+5=17? Did Alex make 3 balls of his 5-shot shootout?
And Ruslan 16; Shuff 14
Ramil 12; Mika 16.

I haven't seen one of these shootouts yet. But you're right, if they were adding one point for each shot made in the shootout, it would seem to be 17 rather than 18. Ted Lerner's news report says "The young American then dramatically won the match by sinking all five shots in the thrilling shootout ..."
I was skeptical, but I think I really like the shootout idea. Although there hasnt been one on the main stream I watched a facebook video of the one with Billy and Alex. It was high tension, pressure, and excitement. All 3 are things sometimes pool sorely lacks. Also I like that both players get their chance after reaching double hill instead of someone breaking and running the final rack.

I think Earl just forgot it is take what you make. Daz gets up and tells him he sunk the wrong ball! Classic.
score is 15-11. Chua was down 11-6 and won 9 racks straight, for the match.

How did it end up?
Does anyone have a link for the shootout that was posted on Facebook? Thanks.
