I'm disappointed that there isn't more coverage of the multiple events. Fortunately, on Window's Open and Rhonda Royal are on-site and providing updates on Facebook. I searched and searched all day yesterday to find out that Shane won the men's 9-ball event, Hunter runner-up, Brandon Shuff thirds, and Rodney Morris fourth. I'm happy BCA organization is doing something for American pool, but it would be nice to spread the news while it's in progress.

I hope next year, somebody on the staff is assigned to keep their FB page up to date or at least share some of the happenings, wins and losses.
 
I was able to watch some of the 9ball( semi-finals and finals) live on Digital Pool. Wouldn't have known that if had not seen reference to it on Rodney's post on Facebook. Of course, had to pay for it.

Searched for 10ball but couldn't find anything.

I've been watching pretty much the entire tournament. It was fairly interesting to see how much better SVB is than all of the high 700s in the tournament.

It is quite easy to find it, especially if you already paid for the digital pool package.

I couldn't imagine paying for this as there are so few pros in attendance. Maybe if you like watching kids and semi-pros. They ought to just show it for free to drum up interest.

There have been some interesting matches. I'm a pretty low to average player - probabably playing in the mid 500s fargo. So for me, watching folk run out racks is always a learning process. Watching Oscar Dominguez, Tyler Styer, SVB and others play is a learning process. Actually its been great watching Savannah run out racks. They're all playing shots that I would never consider - and I'm hoping it helps me improve. Certainly worth $19

Thanks. Guess I didn't do a very good job in searching :). I know Rodney and don't get to see him play very often, so worth the price to me.
 
Coach Johan Ruijsink is in the house checking out the American livestock at this event for the upcoming Mosconi Cup.
 
Fun watching Savannah and Jordan play 14.1 this morning. Not used to seeing young people playing straight pool. Kind of fun as they clearly don't know the rules. They keep turning to the ref and asking questions (as when Savannah accidentally pocketed two balls on one shot).
