Predator's WPA Women's World 9 Ball
- Thread starter jax_joe
- Start date
Tied at 2 sets a piece. 5th and final set about to start. It would suck for either of them to lose from a shootout if it goes 3-3
That would be a travesty
Shootout time!!!
Bad ending to a good match 
There were some insane safety battles in some racks that went back and forth. Kudos to both for some good pool. I don't have a dog in it, they both played pretty equal to me.
Predator please get rid of the shootout. No one likes or cares for them.

The cue spike was fantastic.
The shootout was anti-climactic. I still view it like stopping a tied basketball game with 1 min left in regulation to determine the winner by a free-throw shooting contest. And in a world championship? Seo Seoa--the world champion of 9 ball, that she won by making a spot shot.

Congrats to Seo. She earned it. All respect to the player.
In regards to the event. Hate shootouts. Wish it was settled with an actual rack of 9-ball.

Really some nice pool on offer in the ladies final. That safety battle at 2-2 in set five was a classic. Hate to see the match decided in a shootout, but Seo Seoa deserves great respect for a fine win. Loved the cue toss at the end. When you finally realize the accomplishment of a lifetime, it can be hard to collect yourself, and the slight cue toss seemed a nice manifestation of her unbridled joy. Well played!

I expected this to be close as I think they play equal, but Kristina has a better break and Seoa has a very slight edge in kicking and safeties. Seoa broke poorly (her weak spot), but so did Kristina this time, so Seao had a slight edge. It couldn't have been any slighter. Great match.
Not sure if you can assess the players breaking vs. assessing the refs racking.
Breaking at 10ball on super-tight equipment is pretty tough.
It was stupid as hell, I wish it would have broken into 5 pieces
Nevermind the games she won to get to the shootout
