Is there live scoring? The links in this thread seem to be links to the brackets, rather than live scoring.

There was a picture in the handbook of visual live scoring, with scores on little virtual tables as we've seen here on AZ in tourneys past. I can't find that if it does indeed exist--maybe just for later stages.
 
You'd think for this big of an event they could provide a smooth stream. Pretty choppy ball movement, they'd be better off streaming from a phone.
 
my steam is perfect, it's on your end. and it's free which is awesome

I like tater tots, but Earl is the man.

I'm on fiber internet, so definitely not my end. If you watch the cueball moving around it's not smooth, it's movement is choppy. Also happens if you look back at the recorded matches. Framerate is way too low probably because they are trying to stream at too high of a quality for their upload connection speed or they screwed up the broadcaster settings.

If you want a smooth stream look at poolactiontv (or for that matter pretty much any stream over a phone these days).
 
This field is not quite up to a US Open 9-ball or World 9-ball Championships, but there are plenty of killers in it. At least a dozen realistic winners among these 64.

I mean, I'm watching it right now and it's fine. They are probably shooting 23.98 when they could be shooting 29.97 but it's pretty nit-picky and probably nobody besides yourself will notice. I work in production and didn't notice until you mentioned it, and even then it was only from the cameras getting tight shots and not the full table views. Audio is a little off. Also worth repeating: it's free

Whether is free or not someone is paying for the streaming and recording staff. It's not the cameras, its the streaming/encoding/internet setup that is bad. Usually caused when they are trying to stream at too high of a quality and the framerates drop. Here it looks like its dropping below 20fps frequently. The whole setup is very well done, so it's surprising they don't get basic streaming video and audio correct.
