They say it otherwise: everybody has their price 😊

Well, we are doomed then 😁 Cuz Mr Marcel Eckardt is a head referee for WNT.

Ah, c'mon ppl, don't argue over a silly definition! :D Matchroom calls their event a major to make them differ from their own tour's 'minor'. As such, for their WNT any event with a prize fund over 200K is a major. Regardless of the field strength. Of course there were, and are, major...

Stu, let me add this modest piece to your immense knowledge of the pool world. That's an extract from WPA Regulations, effective as of March 2016. I mean, it is not a novelty, so has nothing to do with recent (2025) updates to official Rules and Regs of the game. It has been like than for...

for real brackets click here (Please don't tell anyone. They are a real pain to retrieve :D This has become kind of a standard with cuescore, for some reason that puzzles me. Once I even managed to drop them an email, but to no avail)

Watching Robbie's performance vs Chinakhov (x2 speed mode advised ;)) would make you reconsider. Struggled big time. Okay, only first day in, but still, did not look like his former self.

Speaking of Thomas Bongers, I'd say he is in better form than Styer recently. Ruslan could also give Tyler a match, but he apparently struggled with table conditions vs Capito at times, and still in search of a decent break shot.

R.I.P., Mika. Managed to meet him a couple of times. Rack 'em up, champ. Here is an article from Billiard Digest, July 2024, "Mika 2.0" by Keith Paradise. “I don't think I would have made it without the community support,” he said. “Everybody played a part with prayers and whoever manifested...

good question. Probably yes - because usually we can tell only by the looks of the shaft (unless its nature is known for sure). But still with a big asterisk ;) Best way would be to list those players/shafts separately

Do you think there is any kind of a trend?

True, at this very event they finally started paying attention. At least to YouTube feeds (mostly rom Vietnam, lol) On a side note, I don't think payments support the game. Comes from one who used to acquire MR stream from one of the Mosconi Cup, when all of a sudden they decided to offer that...

It is not late yet to express my worries about Gorst, as even when he opened with 2-0 I was thinking that the semis might have had some strong impact on both finalists, but with opposite outcome. Fedor had to go through a grinder with Kledio, while for Karlo the semi was basically a walk in the...

I think those who managed to keep an eye on last year's World Pool Championship have remembered his name pretty clearly. Just ask Gorst ;)

I did (not as sizable as one can imagine), as 200.00 for his win was out of this world and insane. Now, though, when he is trailing Kledio Kaci, this makes little sense. Oh wait, Kledio carries some of my dough as well! :LOL:
