"I won't be long"

Nice jab at BB.

Too bad we don't have a pro player in the booth for the finals, so many good choices. Nap time with Danny D in there

 

[benny-the-blade]

I’m pretty sure Danny and Mark always get the finals call. Just the way it is.

 

[WoodyMPW]

Take a shot every time he says "he sold out". Sleep good.

Let him retire with dignity

Oops. Missed that by 10 years. Are 85 year olds comentating NFL.

We still listening to Madden?

After watching this tournament I think I'm finally sold. These racking and breaking rules are the best for pro 9 ball. The players must hit the break hard, there is no guaranteed ball on the break without a skillful shot, the cueball movement and patterns are more random, and with referee rack there is no fussing. I've really enjoyed it, and it's too bad we couldn't have a few tournaments like this per year in the US.

Truth. No Shaw *****ing about every rack.

Yup, I love the winner breaks format here. Maybe there's no difference to who will win, but there sure is a lot more tension knowing that one player may not get back to the table.

What are the rules?

A referee racks them and you can't ***** about it.

Templete rack 3 in pocket or passed headstring.

 

[BRussell]

Chang currently has a 1.000 accu-stats rating, and is down 4-3.

Yup, that's the best, and as long as there's a neutral racker, I like winner breaks, too.

I like it. 9b's on the spot too, right?

Earl says no jump cues and no side pockets!

Ko up 9-7, shooting a .920 to Chang's .945.

 

[WoodyMPW]

Game over.

 

[BRussell]

Interesting situation: Ko made the 9 on the break and was about to move his score, but Ken stopped him and wanted to make sure it was a compliant break. It was, but I’d never seen that come up before.

 

[PoolBum]

11-10 Ko, with Chang breaking. Both players have made some uncharacteristic mistakes here in the latter stages of the match.

11-11 with Chang breaking.

Race to 2 for 40K and the title!
