The market is about the same, but the price depends on the particular copy. Were you interested in one?

I still have some hardback copies of this.

I think it's important to ESPN that they don't have to pay any experts. Also, they don't have to pay for any production if they use Matchroom's stream. I suppose it's possible ESPN got the stream for free. The benefit to Matchroom is that they get a lot more eyeballs in the US. The previous...

For snooker, I think all of the Chinese players who stay in the UK train together. You frequently hear of others, like the Scots, practicing together. For US pool, it seems rare. Considering the payout structure in this event, it would have made sense for two top players to combine forces and...

Based on past WNT majors, play will start about 11 AM and end about 9PM local time. The final day will be just three matches -- the semifinals played in sequence and then the finals. The first three days are double elimination to get to 128 players. The Junior event starts on the third day and...

So..... You moved the cue ball other than by a shot?

Well, shipping is included. Tempting. The seller is Mark Stellinga who with his wife Connie wrote this book, based on their collection:

Being a WNT-run event, I'd expect the player list for scoring to come up on wntlivescores.com. Recently, I don't think those have been listing players until a few days before the start of the tournament. The next ranking event is the Mezz Bucharest (Romania) Open. It is full at 256 players with...

In the end, the player will have to rely on feel: Does this aim feel right? But when a player is learning aiming, I think a system does two things. First, it provides a framework for the player to categorize shots. It organizes the player's experiences. Perhaps more importantly, it makes the...

Here's the stream. Filler was making more mistakes early in the match than I've ever seen him make. Towards the end, he seemed to give up on jump shots.

I still have some extra copies of these 1970s pool newspapers.

The finals streams start in an hour, 2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific.

Did the TD do anything other than the one warning?

I think the time estimates could be wrong in either direction by a factor of ten. For reference, the average FargoRated player with an established rating is a 470. It looks like there are 10,000 or so with ratings over 600. Another factor is how long they've been playing. A 400 with 20 years...

Mark me in the second column. Added to the list as possible.
