The us open viewing numbers are in !

[trob]

Thank you matchroom. It’s not going to happen over night but they believe in the game. It wasn’t long ago the us open was being played in a pool room with some half ass streaming and months after it was over the players still weren’t paid or knew if they were going to get paid. It’s not where we or they want the game to be yet in pay outs but it’s getting there slowly but surely. I love we are seeing big deep pocket sponsors starting to want to get on board.

These are nice stats, but what I want to know is.

1. How many people watched the US Open Final on WNT TV?
2. How many people watched the US Open Final on ESPN 2

The US Open hasn't been played in a poolroom since '88 and there was NO streaming of any kind then. These #'s are pretty damn sweet.

What do the words mean -- "Views," "Reach," "Interactions"? 88,000,000 views lasting a total of 749,000 hours would average about a half a minute per view. ?????

views is just total views, reach is number of individuals who saw it at least once and interactions is comments/saves/shares etc. Basically its a stream's scorecard. The 'hours' is how much, timewise, was watched. A lot of people just looked in and left or logged on/off mult. times. Still very good for pool, there's SO much sports on that getting this many eyes is good.

I left every time some SLOW surveyor was playing.

If I want to watch someone walking around and looking at tables all day, I will go to Golden Corral and watch the buffet crowd.

Well maybe if you need to win so you could eat you would take the game a little more serious. I love playing guys like you.. makes me play even slower and watch you lose your mind.

I've yet to see a player who purposely slows down play any good. Its easy to say and almost impossible to do. We all knew who the snails were and once they were known they got little action. You learned real fast not to get locked into sets with these players.

I wonder if they count shorts in that views number. A 15s highlight clip of a great shot might be viewed many times on FB or YT just because it comes up in people's feeds and is, well, short.

LOL.

I took the game serious for many years and guys like you wouldn't make it to the table where the real players played.

Each show has a tv rating as well. College football and basketball typically get 1-2. That translate into how many actually watch the game. If the Open got a 1 (one million viewers) that would be great!
