The camera person doesn't know how to play pool.

...and I'm going out on a limb and guessing you don't know how to produce sports for television...?

Replaying every shot.

Almost, but not quite. They definitely are trying to provide the viewer with multiple perspectives of what the players are attempting to do. Although the constant back and forth is mildly tiring. The other option is what exactly...? Watching the players walk to behind the CB for the next shot...?

It’s quite frustrating, since you can’t even see where the cue ball lands (or sometimes, even the route of the cue ball) before they start showing a replay. I don’t remember this happening in the earlier rounds…

They don't seem to be very consistent with the replay. Last rack didn't have much.
 
I am really psyched for Gorst vs Raga.

I don't think we've seen the highest gear out of either yet, but as we all know, one of the things that separate the best from the rest is winning with your "B" game.

I'd like to see both catch a stroke in their upcoming quarterfinal. May the best man win!

It does seem better now, much more watchable and a nice variety of angles without overusing replay. Maybe they just needed to work out the kinks!

Maybe the fulltime guy was taking a break and they had a jittery intern take over for a bit...lol
 
tell chua about the tough pockets too 🤣

11-3, he missed one open shot, and definitely leads the BNR bonus prize hunt
 
Fedor has not been playing great.

Surprised to see the bookmakers have him as a favourite vs Raga.
 
gotta feel a little bad for dang. but he did have two chances to capitalize on. only the second one came late when he was 9-1 in the hole and probably very cold

9-9. This is the first full match I've watched at these championships and can't get over how terrible these tiny pockets are. Both Melling and Gorst missed balls that would/should go in on any pool table. One of them was Gorst's 7ball that would have put him up 10-5. Instead 9-6 and Melling goes on a run and we have a tie game. But that shot should always drop. F these stupid pockets. Tho fair is fair cuz Melling got robbed on exactly the same type of shot earlier.

Johann doesn't seem to have any problems with the tight pockets. 7 break and runs today
