- Thread starter spartan
- Start date
Yes, that was in 2008.
Thorsten Hohmann he represents Germany
I de aged a photo of him.
Better documentation of both men and women players by official sources is needed.
What do you think about annual official portraits?
The sport has to start introducing the sport as a whole to future generations. Taking pictures is a social thing and responsible.

Wow, I never thought I'd be creeped out by a picture on this forum, but I was wrong. Weird stuff going on...
Tell the men to shave, it looks bad.
Albin Ouschan not husband to Jasmin, its her brother.
And the players need to know when a close up is on them.
The camera doesn't do justice when everyone keeps moving. Hold a pose for the camera in good lighting.

Did you though?
It's about the eye test. Balls poorly hit are going in frequently. Perhaps as the tables get broken in, they'll play a little tighter.
Commentator Phil Yates, on a few occasions, commented "that ball wouldn't have gone in at the World Pool Masters," so, to their credit, Matchroom has come clean on the matter of making the conditions easier.

Break Stats -- 2021 World Pool Masters 9-Ball, May 2021
Here are some aggregate break statistics from the 2021 World Pool Masters event played May 22-25, 2021 at Europa Point Sports Park, in Gibraltar. This was an invitational 24-player, single-elimination 9-Ball event produced by Matchroom Sport with pay-per-view streaming in the USA on DAZN. The...

4.25" is still generous in contrast to the sub-4" pockets in the last matchroom tournament. imo the way forward is tighter pockets.
I was able to watch a few matches yesterday. Best match for me was seasoned veteran Jayson Shaw v. the 17-year-old Moritz Neuhausen from Germany. Moritz has the same coach as Joshua Filler, and at the beginning of this match, he was in control. But experience won in the end, as Jayson never gave up and fought back. Towards the end, I thought Moritz might have been shell-shocked by Shaw's strong fight to include excellent safeties, resulting in a couple misses on fairly easy shots by the junior player. During the match, though, Moritiz had his game face on and never flinched, but at the end, he smiled broadly, stuck his hand out, and congratulated Jayson.
The country shirts for this event were not as good, IMO, as World Masters. I saw sponsor patches peeling off the shirts, whereas in the Masters, the sponsor logs were heat-ironed on the shirts. Big difference!
Also, I understand why they have music playing in the background. The sound of 16 tables with pool balls pocketing and being broken would not be attractive, but some of the musical choices were not to my liking, sounding almost like the cheap ESPN Sports music or porno flicks. I have no suggestions what music to play or what background would be best. Of course, a live audience definitely would be a welcome background sound but not at this time because of the stupid pandemic.
128 players from over 40 countries and no byes. In this Matchroom invitational, none of the players had to pay entry fees, which is kind of cool and in stark contrast to the $1,000 entry fees at other competitions in the States, though the expenses to say in Milton Keynes for an extended length of time can't be cheap.
Here's some screenshots below.

To my knowledge that statement is actually not the truth
I didn't see anything about an entry fee on Matchroom's site, and the entry fee section is left blank here:
WPA World Pool Championship 2021 - Marshall Arena - June 6 - 10th, 2021 - Home - AZBILLIARDS.COM
The A to Z of Pool and Billiards Online
And if it's a true invitational as advertised on MR's site, then there shouldn't be an entry fee.
anyone know what matches will be on the main table today?
Looks like first session is going to be...
Ivanovskaia v Yoshioka
Shane v Oscar
De Luna v Jasmin
thanks!
Correct
First 2 matches are winners side while De Luna/ Jasmin is Losers side. All interesting matches
Evening session will likely have more thriller matches as they feature remaining losers side matches for last few spots
