I wish I could remember the exact game or find the video, but I watched a game where someone who play an after-break push on a short player, maybe Alex. They pushed it to the right side of the table near the side pocket, leaving an easy jump for a left-handed player. Alex had to turn it back...

Lechher had a good break, making 3 balls, but as he goes to get his playing cue, tries to grab his chalk and knocks it on the table, where the three ball runs into it. Ball in hand for Alcaide.

I miss the bad camera angles and dark gymnasium look of the Qatar world championships.

They just announced that Shane would be the vice captain of the US Mosconi Cup team. It wasn’t clear if he‘d be a playing vice-captain, but in recent years the vice captain did not play. Edit: They did clarify that he would be a playing vice-captain. Basically they just fired Joey Gray and gave...

Shane up 7-2 and at the table.

Jeremy Sossei, who is probably one of the 2 or 3 oldest into the final 16 of the world championship, is 42.

They would meet in the quarter finals. Could be one of them vs someone like Albin or even Skyler in the finals.

It might be more likely right now that Billy, Skyler, Jeremy Sossei, and Hunter Lombardo all get to the next stage than Shane.

And Sossei (rating = 757) drew Kelly Fisher (rating = 758).

Where are you getting the scores? Cuescore seems to have stopped working for me.

Christoph Reintjes had to drop due to a COVID contact notification, and so forfeits to Kelly Fisher. That puts Kelly in the final 64.

Niels just said in the commentary that drawing the cue ball helps the 1 to stay in front of the side pocket and avoid going in, and then heading towards the opposite back corner pocket.

This was on Facebook. Looks fairly tight, but not much shelf, and the shelf seems quite rounded. Not many balls are going to hang up in the center of the jaws, that’s for sure.

Yeah it was odd to see the success of two weeks ago abandoned. The explanation may be that this was the big roll out of the new Predator tables, and there was just too short of a time frame in between the two tournaments to adjust the pocket sizes of these new tables.

Here's Filler drawing the cue ball back to the middle of the short rail. I've been doing this for years, so now I'm just happy I can give up trying to fix it.

Yeah I thought he should have rolled it but he tried to stun it. The 7 was near the side pocket so he had a large area to play into.

This tournament is not using the 3 point rule. They said there was a subjective rule against soft breaking.

Shane has been using this draw break in the World Championship. I wasn't able to get a video from the World Championship but he was practicing it last week and it looks like this. He's drawing the cue ball back to the middle of the rail between the side and the corner where he's standing...

Who is that? Right now it’s Alex Lely and Kelly Fisher.

That sounds like the definition of an algorithm rather than a system that a person could use. You could program a robot with a very complex set of inputs and adjustments that would be beyond a person’s ability to calculate at the table. Maybe with your definition that would just be a poor system...
