I agree, but the mind of men works in tangled lol

I believe it came from snooker, when a scoop over an object ball is a foul, while a scoop not over an object ball is not a foul. Rules are translated differently, and people tends to understand them to their own will/exp/knowledge/prejudice... the fact that rules state a scoop is not a foul...

yes, it is true some players intended to play very slowly, if one player thinks his opponent is slow playing, he can request shot-clock and a dedicated ref, like Gorst did vs Antonakis... or if the Senior Refs think that one match is too slow, he may apply shot-clock it's case by case

JAM, the referee set up has been consistent for Hanoi Open for 3 years now: - TTV table: livestreamed, dedicated refs, shot clock... for the Hanoi Open 2023 and 2024, this TTV table is not used until the last 2 days... this year, because of the 1 day delay due to heavy rain and flood, they used...

Yes true, Rasson dealer in Vietnam were stuck before Hanoi Open 2023, after that the tables sold like hot cake for a year... but they gave nothing back to the pool community or movement Moritz is a player full of positive vibes, he would accept any condition about the refs, if I were to...

for Hanoi Open, it's been the practicr from the first year - refs rack only - refs clean cue ball only by their gloves after each rack - after the day they only use gloves or clean towel to clean the set of balls I dont believe J Chua did the wax last year, evident showed om that match...

I believe Marcel relied on over-the-top camera angle, even used the slow-mo from that, and in a slomo replay it showed to hit the 4 first, but that was wrong 1. over the top camera is not a slomo camera, it only reach 60fps max, even lower... while slomo camera should be 240fps or even more...

I agree, but we have seen Marcel made similarly bad calls

new 2025 WPA rules, simultaneous hit is deemed good hit and per new WNT rules, which based on WPA rules, benefit of the doubt goes to the shooter when it is so close to call I read these set of rules last week

I believe the ref could not tell, so they treated it as if the cue ball hit both the 4 and 9 at the same time, or gave the shooter benefit of the doubt

feel bad for Max Lechner, he has been playing so well in this tournament I messaged the ref right away, he was the one who called foul on Shaw at Peri Open last week, he said he was not sure, and he paused the match and consulted ref Marcel, after reviewing a few times, Marcel said it's good...

it's nice to meet @Rocket354 at the venue

there are 2 POV to look at this yes you can say Reyes is a WIP and they can do things they deem necessary to boost the image, they change the selection criteria and even format, but they also do that with the Mosconi Cup way I see it, Reyes is a WIP, so they will profit in the long term by...

I personally believe picking AJ will prove a mistake Matchroom has been promoting their ranking, their order of merit... and they are going against it earlier this year, they announced the truce with WPA, but it seems they will never get over it... if they call for players' freedom then they...

guys, about the shot clock an referees, there is only dedicated refs on TTV table T1 and T2 refs only do racking, and watch the sensitive shots if the players request... however the players can spot fouls from the opponent and request a ruling, in this case livestream replays can be used (if...
