Strickland is almost worth the price of admission. Almost. Sometimes he sounds so crazy I'd want to get away!

Hey JAA, can you do something about the way Gorst is being pronounced?

Thanks for listening here!

Hey, we all survived Efren being called Efrum or Efrem.

Hill-hill Delawder vs. Earl.

What’s the deal with Goldstein being in a tv table match every round. Don’t get the point.

I'm guessing he's considered critical to Matchroom Pool for UK viewership growth and retention.

Who is he? I noticed he was on the TV table and asked a couple ppl in the crowd if he was famous. None of them knew who he was.

He seems to be a minor celebrity in the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Goldstein

Noticed I said he puts out a good stream. Just limit some of the things he says.

Yep. His streams are pro quality, and he's experienced at it. He freely admits that the Post-Up style isn't for everyone.

That said, I think if WNT offered him a paid gig as a streamer or commentator, that he's completely capable of making it successful. I suspect he's professional & practical enough to adapt.

If you rewind back, Delawder legit fouled on that shot. He took out the 9 ball from the pocket and put it on the table well before the CB even stopped rolling. The ref was right there and didn't say anything.

Delawder committed this action much more more blatantly after pocking the 9 on rack 13. He almost hit the still rolling CB with the third OB he put on the table.

I'm trying to find out if it's actually written down somewhere that doing this (either reaching into a pocket or putting a pocketed OB on the table while the CB is still moving) is an actual foul, but I can't find anything in writing...either in MR or WPA's website.

I’ve noticed other players doing it also including Earl. Don’t let Marcel see it.

Chua in trouble 5-8, Emil Gangfløt on the hill... who is half-filipino by the way

I’m glad I decided to skip making the drive over from Tampa yesterday. The first few rounds of these events have so few compelling matchups, it’s hardly worth burning the last day of my vacation.

Thorsten Hohmann comes back from a 6-0 deficit to knock off Kledio Kaci.

Is that a foul if nothing contacts the cue ball while it's rolling?

Question for @Bob Jewett.

It has been called in the past

All the balls need to stop moving
I think is the rule

 

[decent dennis]

Goldstein has pictures of Emily or Barry.

Why tempt fate? Just wait an extra few seconds until all motion stops, or even, let the ref retrieve the balls (the latter of which might seem unsportsmanlike, not helping the ref).

Gorst loses 9-7 to Jesus Atencio after Atencio makes a picture perfect one-rail kick on the final 8 ball to set up the winning 9.

I wonder if this tournament would be getting more attention if it had a better name. "Florida Open" sounds like a state championship, not a WNT major.
