The Reyes Cup

[Atorontopoolplayer]

It's a 12 hr time difference, it's 9:30 AM there. The stands are low now but I think I saw some people walking in after the rack was over.

Europe up 1-0, race to 11.
Europe up 2-1, race to 5.

Wouldn't it be 930 PM then?

 

[iusedtoberich]

They are 12/13 hours ahead, it is 9:40pm there right now.

Man I buthered that. I was even about to post they started at 7:30 AM! ha ha. Well, stands empty at 9:30 PM is surprising!

 

[garczar]

Where's all the rabid 'pino pool fans??

 

[iusedtoberich]

why are there no scores on MR's own site? I'm logged in to scores and nothing. Weird.

Yeah, weird. Nothing on wntlivescores.com. That's where I went first before even coming here.

I don't see how Efren is going to stay awake through this entire event, lol.

Yeah, it is a little surprising. They need to stage it in Hanoi next year, reward those fans.

All of the European players faces are a little shiny, I think once the audience starts filling the place up, it is going to get very hot in there.

Efren needs to jump up and do some coaching, if nothing else just to stay awake and energize the audience.

 

[DaWizard]

that's what it says. just re-enforces the 'exhibition' nature of this deal.

Its a historical first event. Putting your name on the winning trophy is legacy points that can't be bought.

15k is not much, I agree to that.

 

[iusedtoberich]

Europe 1-0, match
Asia 3-2, set

 

[Badpenguin]

This probably won't last long, but here you go.

 

[iusedtoberich]

9 on the snap by Ko. Crowd goes wild.
Asia 4-2 set.

I haven't seen Efren yet, but only watched a min or two.

Yeah I am surprised, I wonder if they just priced the tickets way too high for the locals

could be. but noise wise the support seems to be for team asia. saw a bunch of europeans though

Kinda what i'm thinking. Need cheap tickets, people in flip-flops and chickens in the background.

 

[WardS]

Yes, but the two best players in the world are both European. Oh wait, neither is playing. Never mind.

We will have to agree/disagree on this.

I've been buying DAZN for I guess 3-4 years now. In the start I had the year subscription because the price was good. When they raised the price, I changed to buying by the month, then cancelling immediately. Aside from I wish its been cheaper, I've had absolutely zero issues with their service. It plays super smooth, on all my devices, and is easy to log-on to. I think the class action suit is probably ambulance chasing lawyers. The same type that go after all the big corporations. That's probably how you know a company has made it, when the ambulance chasers come after it.

 

[skogstokig]

asia won that one.

scott frost is analyzing in full bling gear. i count 7 necklaces

 

[skogstokig]

the martian vs the giant. i'm rooting for duong

The first year the Mosconi Cup was in the US, there were only a few hundred seats in the venue and it wasn't full. Now they fill 2300 seats.

In a quick count they have about 350 spectators for the first two matches. It looks like a 2000-seat auditorium. A cozier venue might have worked better for the inaugural.

 

[iusedtoberich]

1-1 match score, R11.

Maybe the first row Filipino OGs didn't want to mix it up with the riff raff.

In some alternate universe, Francisco is the GOAT and this is called the Busty Cup, lol.
