Must be just for pool then...

Could be. But I think that tomorrow DAZN will show both Saturday's and Sunday's matches on the schedule, not just Saturday's.

Seems silly on Dazn's part, and could ultimately hurt viewership of pool. If this is an intentional opission, I think they have dropped the ball by not advertising

If I had to say what is here. I would say its more about providing diverse content to a subscriber base more than anything. Pool doesn't look
to be viewed all that much when the most reputable promoter on the planet isn't hitting a half million views a day for free to see content.
 
SVB went undefeated through 5 matches in Stage 1 to get to the Final 16 starting tomorrow. Four of his 5 matches were streamed. In those 4 streamed matches:

• He broke 35 times.​
• He broke successfully 35 times (100%).​
• He broke and ran 21 times (60%).​
• He won the game on his break 32 times (91%).​

But he wasn't perfect, missing about a dozen shots (5 on banks) and fouling twice.

For all 5 of his Stage 1 matches, his record was 45-12 (winning percentage 79%).

[I think things are about to get tougher.]
 
Again just me but this tournament thus far has all the excitement of pulling the night shift at the county morgue.
Some thoughts from fantasy land;

1 A shot clock of 25 seconds starting at the moment the cue stops moving with 1 extension per match.
2 Strict 4 inch corner pockets
3 Brunswick Centennial traditionally colored balls
4 Traditional Green tournament cloth
5 (possible) alternate break format to increase interplay between opponents
6 And while we’re at it, let’s bring back Nick and Buddy in the broadcast booth, (no offense to the current commentators,

Like I said, fantasy land.
Agree with 4inch pockets. These pros should be allowed to play maximum 4inch pocket

albin, kaci out.. albin lost 9-0 to pecelj. quite a few big names out now. big ko, albin, shaw, kaci, kazakis.. also omar
Actually Albin was whitewashed by Robbie Capito.
Only 9 x800 in last 16 which is half of number of 800 at start
 
Christ, where can you watch the final two days? And when are these matches starting?

Afternoon session started an hour ago. Scheduled are two matches with possible transition of SVB's match to Table 1, to make it three overall in this session.
 
At least you can get live scores

Yeah, I can see now that they've started by the live scores link: https://digitalpool.com/tournaments/uk-open-final-16/scores

But that still doesn't answer the question of where viewers in the U.S. can watch them, even if we've paid for DAZN. At this point I'm channeling my inner George Carlin. 🤬
 
So it's not streamed anywhere, besides facespace?

Yes, another Matchroom and DAZN blunder. US viewers can only watch on Facebook this morning. I don't know how Matchroom goes through all the effort to put on a nice event and then doesn't bother to contact their US partner to make sure half (or whatever) of their customer base can actually access the product. Total incompetence given DAZN has had issues with every torunament this year.

Did you say Dazn had issues with all of these tournaments? Isn't this going out on Sky Sports and not Dazn?

Its Sky's production but DAZN is supposed to handle US dist. The whole thing is a colossal clusterf^*k. BTW, those balls are truly hideous in HD. Watching now on FB.

In the US,.DAZN was supposed to be streaming this event this weekend. They are Matchroom's US streaming partner for all nineball events. I think every tournament this year has had DAZN problems so Matchroom winds up posting the tournament feed on Facebook. Which is good enough except I shouldnt have to dig around on Facebook to see how to watch a major event I already paid $99 / year to watch.

Hammer MR/Emily with emails or FM msg's. Let them know their system sux.

I have to imagine she knows but there is nothing they can (or want to) do about it. To her credit she does pay attention to her customers (e.g., she knows we complain about the 5 ball, etc).
