Alex Lely is a great commentator. Rico may be fine but I'd pick Lely over him.

Anyone looks familiar? ;)

Rules leave this to organizing committee (head referee or TD) discretion, and offer a variety of sanctions, minor being a warning and most severe one - DQ from the tournament. Put loss of a rack and loss of a match in between.

In the universe with proper skilled referees such actions are never left without consequences for the player in question. Matchroom's??? Well, you see that yourselves.

Add Savannah and... alright, Fred - and here you are, you've got a competitive team finally :cool:

I'd be willing to bet he could qualify even with zilch pts. He's got a lil' edge over Bergman in this department, because Fedor at least bothered to enter a WNT event, so MR's integrity would have been not in any danger, LOL. It would be wild not to pick Gorst as a wild card for team USA, even...

The description says yellow snooker balls are for tables with red or burgundy cloth. Bunch of suckers! They can not play with standard snooker set on red cloth!!! (and what used to be a yellow ball worth 2 points, is still red in this set :p)

Meanwhile, Ko brothers are having fun playing Chinese 9-ball (Duya Legends Tour, where they score points for balls made and for runouts). 10 points go for b&r, 7 for a golden break (happened to KPC's opponent), so the ring girl carries respective number after the rack. To make things clear how...

I was eager to watch how prolific Gerwyn Price (a darts pro player) is with a cuestick. But he is a NS (no show). After the hype promo campaign by MR I feel as if I was robbed. Same story happened during one of the prior MR UK Opens, back then it was some ex-pro footballer from minor English...

howdy, willing to share a bit? ;) "From the horse's mouth", it is always interesting to know. PMs are welcome, just in case.

Let me make a wild guess, based on the flooring of a sports hall. There are some plastic chairs common to a stadium, located around the perimeter. Table 1 most probably has special seating around it.

Alghamdi was an aspiring youngster when he participated in Junior Worlds. Done that at least twice, maybe more, if memory serves me. Since then he progressed and is a threat to almost anyone (he can not hang with Fargo top 20 at distance, but an occasional set in winner's break format is far...

Got to watch Bingham's match vs a guy from SA. The number of rolls he got in last racks beats that of Filler's yearly supply!!! (I mean the outcome of stunning misses Stuart made)

Me tuning in late to watch the UK Open 2026 for the very first time (Table 8) be like: - No carpeting at events run by Matchroom? :oops::oops: Well, okay... - Tiffany's ball????? What the fuuuuk!!! :sick:

I wasn't aware of this thread, but here are my $0.02 on the topic of wood shafts ;) Coincidentally, I started mine same year as the OP. Pro players sticking to wood
