I think that Scott Frost is a pool player through and through and is very passionate about the game, but I also think he really wants to be a part of the Matchroom WNT team with commentary and having a presence. At the last Mosconi Cup, he was all over Team USA on the rail, providing support, advice, and running up to them after each match. I admire his enthusiasm.

I do think he'd rather be commentating than shooting balls, but maybe I'm wrong. I do believe he's just happy to be there in the surroundings of Matchroom pool.
 
I would love to see WNT help pool fans with the time differences. In snooker, when I login, they must recognize my IP and show American East Coast times.

I'm excited to watch Soufi v. Gary Wilson. Times on WNTTV.com say 5 a.m.. Times on WNTTV live score say 12 noon. I'm not sure what time they are playing in East Coast USA time. Does anybody know?

Thanks. So it is actually occurring at 7 a.m. East Coast USA time. One website says 5 a.m. and the other says 12 noon. Well, now I know. Thank you. :)

Quick tip with the timezone confusion, you can figure out the local time googling ”Sarajevo time now” and then compare to the match start times in the chart. Hope this helps 😌

Mr. Koyongian just beat Chua 10-6 to advance to the final 32.

Seems like these matches started earlier than in any MR major I can recall. Why so early?

Still looking for fans …

Thanks. I have done that in the past. I get confused when one website says 5 a.m. and another says 12 noon for the same match. :-p

Yes. Gary just didn't seem dialed in. Soufi, though, was getting out of line quite a few times. He'll have to play better than that to rise to the top.

They probably didn’t account for daylight savings time correctly as that’s more of an American thing. So local time was noon and East coast time was 5 am standard time or 4 am daylight saving time.

I don’t know if you are an Apple user but on the iPhone in the clock app is a “world Clock” tab. When I’m working with people in other time zones or following an event I take a minute to add that city to the app then I have a quick way to reference their local time to mine.

But just checking Sarajevo is only 5 hours ahead of you so noon and 5 doesn’t add up at all. :)
 
Tensest safety battle I have ever seen. Tobias Bongers and Carlo Biado, hill-hill at 9-9, just went 10 minutes or so exchanging safes. At least five each.

Bongers got lucky a few times when it looked like Biado had him, and Bongers finally got a look. Hit a sharp cut on the 2 or 3 and finally finished the match off.

Biado got lucky himself down 9-6, but he almost made a great escape.
 
Finally seeing some fans and fan noise on one of the TV tables. Just really livens things up.

Nice performances by the players who avoided Hanoi because of the WPA. Filler, Ouschan, Lechner, He, Kazakis, Szewczyk all still playing. Good to see them.
