Matchroom 2023 UK Open (nineball), 30May-4June, Winner $30K

Wow, Kaci putting possibly better performance than Filler. Leads Sky 7-0 and Sky has not potted a ball yet.

Kaci breaks dry and Sky finally pots first ball. Sky running out but misses 6 ball.
 
Is SJM in the crowd? I saw someone that looked a bit like him yesterday and today. But it was a brief second so uncertain.
 
Does anyone know what the numbers in parentheses mean next to the player's names? I know they are some sort of ranking, but it doesn't seem to line up with anything. For example, Filler has #1 next to his name, but FSR is #1 on the MR ratings and Filler is #3 according to MR's website.

Rotation pool is too easy.

I broke and ran 7 and I'm a bum.

many home/amateur players can achieve al kinds of great runs on their practice tables

stringing together racks at major pro tourneys is a different animal, as the stats always show, even running a two or three pack is statistically improbable

for those who doubt the above, maybe consider entering an open major tournament

I just woke up and see Kaci is up 7-0 and the commentators said Skylar didn't make a ball. Did Kaci run a 7 pack?

No, I think only a few racks. Big B&R packs in this break format is rare and are usually B&W (Break & Win) packs rather than B&R :D

Yes strange. Rankings of other players are consistent with MR website. Either stream editor made typo or he/she is big Filler fan :D FSR ranking is so far ahead of Filler about $90K ahead . Even if Filler wins this $30K winner cheque, he is still behind FSR https://matchroompool.com/world-rankings/ :LOL:
 
Number next to their names are their seed in the tournament, not their world ranking.
 
Do we know how MR classifies "long pot success"?

Do we know how they classify "safety errors"?

I believe Accu-Stats goes by "harder than a spot shot" for the first, and for the second, if the player wins the rack on the inning after the opponent safety. (or maybe makes the next ball?)

I ran 7 giving the 7 out for $10....that's pressure.

That 9 Skyler dogged was just horrible.

Curious, what are the conditions when that happens to you? Can you like just commit to stringing 'em and do it?

You play 3 or 4 tourneys a week, gamble and practice at least 10 hours a week beside.
Then you start locking down the break and making any weaknesses into strengths.

I still play real good, but because I barely compete and don't practice, I'm never gonna run out like I used to.

Thanks. I see it.

sadly my DAZN not working again

I suspect MR will not show the final live on youtube, the distribution of their streams continues to be horrendous in contrast to everything else they do which appears first class
