Thorpe down 6-8

Looks like winner's side only plays one match again today.

If digital pool is correct, matches at: Noon (losers), 4:45 (winners & losers sides), and 9:30 (losers).

Can't STAND watching one pocket on a livestream. NOBODY pays attention to what's going on. The announcers never know, the players don't even know, and the referee certainly is clueless, as to what is happening on the table.
Hall shoots 8 ball uptable, knocks both a stripe and the 8 into same pocket uptable, and the dumbass referee only spots the 8. NEITHER player noticed, the announcers didn't notice. Gomez shoots the spotted ball back uptable, then the dumbass ref sees the stripe in the ball return and goes to spot it, leaving Hall with a straight in bank. Somebody had to tell him that it doesn't spot until after Hall's inning. It's almost as bad as watching the NFL!

Sometimes things go unnoticed especially when there's alot going on. I haven't done commentary in lately and at my age it's difficult to be consistently on point. Imo I felt that the entire production was done well hopefully we can do better. Enjoy your day.

your commentary was great billy.

yes there was a referee but to me it's the same as snoozing on any other pocketed ball after an inning. players know this

With all the LV hotels struggling right now, some promoters should look into locking up a venue for 5-10 years. Room rates and transportation to and from LV is very reasonable. The APA and BCA sell out their respective hotels each year.

Souqet is my favorite bald player. 2nd would probably be SVB. SVB is transitioning to his Mike Sigel phase. Albin made that trip to Turkey though

Souqet down 6-7 to Krause and breaking.

I enjoyed your commentary. As you know, you don't need to explain everything....only players watch one pocket.
