edit: non-matchroom idk, this is a standard double elim bracket
Geez, Kazakis and Gorst are slow coaches. 80 minutes for 7 racks about 11 minutes per rack. That is slooooowwww.
Apparently, ref gave Kazakis warning for slow play. But why only warn Kazakis but not Gorst? If ref want to stop slow play, just bring in shot clock- I am sure Matchroom tournament have rule that ref/ tournament director can bring in shot clock if play is slow

Don't think so. I believe MR insource to their partner PRP instead of using industry leaders cuescore.com , digitalpool.com maybe to have more control over the data.
Not as good as cuescore.com (which is better than digitalpool.com ) but it beats those old Stone Age hand written brackets

Surprised to see Chang get eliminated hill-hill by a 752 Fargo (Babken Melkonyan).
Is there anything on live now? I don't see anything on Dazn or youtube. It also looks like only table 2 is on youtube now, and 1 is DAZN only (for USA viewers).
Nothing on SkySports either. Must be over for the day -it's past 10pm there right?
My guess is that Kaci's 5+ railer is in response to Black's extremely questionable jump shot just prior.Such a douche move and super insulting to his opponent. If it was in a pub like last week's Scottish Open, the drinking/drunk audience will have words with him
Did Black simply not see the 9 ball in the way?
Was he really attempting to execute a half-table-length jump over two balls and wish the CB didn't fly off the table after contacting the 6?
Why not simply execute the relatively trivial one-rail kick since the 6 was so close to the pocket?
Because the jump shot was so questionable Kaci probably assumed that Black was just goofing off and/or experimenting since he was down so big. So Kaci thought why not respond in kind. (Yes, I'm being generous toward Kaci.)
Last 64 (Race to 10) Knock out stage starts tomorrow 2 June

Duong v David Alcaide
Wu Kun Lin v Mario He
Ko Ping Chung, Gorst, Zielinski, FSR have the toughest draw of them all. Because they may have to beat a FR800+ player in every round which means beating 6 FR800+ consecutively (if all the FR800+ win their matches) to win this title. Typically in a major event, the winner beats around 3, 4 or maybe 5 FR800+ . Doesn't may how good you are, beating 6FR800+ in a row is humongous task and a rare feat
I could be wrong but my guess is the winner is likely someone from top half Filler, Ko Pin Yi , Biado

Nice try. Yes, You are being too generous to Kaci. Black did take some time to make the jump. Plus he is British and they don't jump that well
Plus he did give BIH. If I get BIH, I don't care how my opponent foul. He can triple jump somersault the CB like Cirque du Soleil onto next table runout all the balls and jump back onto my table.That was a crassy jerk move by Kaci. Plain and simple. Doesn't mean he is a criminal. Just means he is a douchebag

At 5-1 (36:50) Black had a one rail bank on the 6 in the same corner... Instead, he attempted a three railer and missed it... Kaci was just returning the favor... This was a real mis-match... Kaci looked bored... Watch Kaci break at 6-1... It's like he is running a practice drill...Nice try. Yes, You are being too generous to Kaci. Black did take some time to make the jump.

yea, but the reason euros and asians don't obsess over fargo as much as form is that some of these lower rated players are giant slayers or players on the rise.
soufi i guess is the best proof, but watch out for liu ri teng, neuhausen and myint kyaw.. shane's opponent has also acquitted himself well, that match looks easy on paper but it isn't, the viet guy almost beat filler.
FSR vs wiktor is a good one, so are alcaide vs hoang and gorst vs lil ko. the other three matches are questionable allotments. filler, shaw and oi are very likely to win. oi already beat wilson a week ago
Geez. These micro pockets suck. Scanned through some action yesterday. A great gun fighter like Filler turned into a bump and grinder. Nobody reaches out. Kazakis had a decent long bank. Safer to bump and hide. Don't blame him. No long banks. Shrunken pockets have made 9 ball boring as hell. I'll take the 1990 style of Sigel, Davenport, Varner, Earl, B Hall, Effren, etc on a real Gold Crown any day. Those boys and style were fun to watch. Jump cues suck. Take those away and the game will speed up. Break cues, jump cues, extensions. Soon they'll need a golf bag to hold all the gear.
there are a few potential title contenders missing. wu jiaqing, dennis orcullo, johann chua...
That was a kick, not a bank by Black when he was trailing 1-5. Black looked like he was not confident of the one rail kick so it was just shoot and pray with the 3 rail shot and Black was trailing 1-5. in Kaci’s case he had BIH with open table leading 7-1 and instead of shooting directly he played the douche 5 rail kick shot
Yes cannot totally rely on Fargorate. I think FR is reliable as range estimate like the top 30 players have FR800+. But who is better/best amoongst these top 30 cannot determine using Fargorate alone. Winners of majors in past few years have all been FR800+ . I doubt that is going to change in this event. Players with less than FR800 like Moritz , Luong, Liu can upset some big names but having to beat bunch of FR800+ consecutively is very tall order. They would have to consistently play at FR800+ every match which is something that is easier for a FR800+ player to do. I see these giantkilling sub FR800 going until quarters or semis but to reach last 2 requires all the ducks to be in a row
gorst vs lil ko up next
