This is a fantastic lesson in calling tough shots. The more i look at it the tougher it is, but it is definitely a foul. The trick is knowing how to know it was a foul.
I also appreciate you calling out that being an official is difficult. These Refs are staring at who knows how many shots all...
Expanding on this:
Could a petition be created for us as a collective?
Would seeing something with a pile of people signing be enough to get their attention?
Could we collectively come to enough of a reasonable agreement to all be on board with it? (big ol 'if' there)
Express this concern out...
Yeah that event is STACKED. Don't see any notable absences off the top of my head. (Edit: somehow missed the Ko Bros. I will sit in the box and feel shame)
This was over shortly after it started. I think if ROW kept it close early there would've been more effort on both sides. Need more incentive (read: $$$$) for them to fight for every point.
The Biado/Manas dubs team was fun. Love seeing Carlo excited and having fun. Seems like a genuinely good...
Proposition: set the match schedule for all 4 days (3-5 per day), but tie the points and prize fund to the total number of points at the end.
Also, have the best players for each team...
I think the rack should be randomized for 9 and 10 ball. Fedor and SVB used a neat widget in their jumbo races to tell them where to rack everything. I think it should be like that. Fixing a ball in the rack (especially the deuce) is an advantage to these elite players. They know where it's going.
4-0... Wow. I knew it likely wasn't going to be good for ROW, but i wasn't expecting THAT. (Rinse and repeat from last year)
Thoughts:
- Asia is really, really good. BUT the scary part is they could probably be even better...
- Who are theses imposters and what did they do with Shaw and FSR?
