Robin (age 16) and I have sent a couple of shots to each other to challenge the other to make it + send a new challenge in return Fun way to practice and make progress, even though some shots seldom or never happen in a match This is the latest challenge from young Robin. Thought it was cool...

Emil won first set 4-3 https://www.youtube.com/live/1utPDxE4A0k?si=AxthlMCYXvacjWQU

There was supposed to be a qualifier in Finland this weekend, but it seems like only 2 players signed up With this pace it doesn’t look like Matchroom will get 128 qualified players for either the European Open or the US Open, to join the 128 wnt pros. What will they do then? Open up for...

what are the rules and format?

Thanks for doing these stats after every big tournament! I like them, and appreciate your work! 39 % break & run on successful breaks, with this format where you have no control on cueball and next ball after break, is extremely high on 4 inch pockets

32 players, among them Petri Makkonen, Marcus Chamat and Mikael Øgaard. 9 players with a fargo of 700 and higher, and another 8-10 players from around 650-699 4 tables being streamed for free 4 players will qualify for UK Open https://cuescore.com/tournament/UK+OPEN+QUALIFIER+OSLO/40717240

If I am alone I do 40 % drills, 20 % practicing breakshots, 10 % 9-ball ghost, 10 % bankpool and 20 % practicing 14-1 My favourite games are by far 9-ball and one pocket If I match up with other players it is normally 9-ball. I use the app Billiard Manager and log every match. Last 12 months...

Yes. My new high run. Quit playing in 2011, and started again about 12-15 months ago.

Ran 70 today. Fargo 640

I don’t understand all the negativity this drug test fuels among people here. We want pool to be considered a sport, don’t we? Then we have to treat it as a sport. We don’t do drugs and compete in sports. In Europe this is common. Last year I was one of 4 players who got picked to do a drug...

I can understand that people might have to answer a text during a match, but if they are constantly on their phone I ask them to put it away. If they don't I just don't play them again.

It seems there is no deal between Matchroom and WPA, but still the headline in this thread (which is a summary of the press release) is very valuable information for players like me, who are part of the EPBF-umbrella. This means I can now join qualifiers for UK Open, European Open and US Open...

I have asked Boyes to tell us what is fake about it then - does or does not WPA consider the WNT majors to be sanctioned events? But no reply yet

The Norwegian Pool Federation posted it on their facebook as soon as they got the pressrelease. I also see that Windows Open posted it on their facebook-site.

This is good news! All the major events from Matchroom will now be sanctioned, which means there will be no ban for players who are WNT pros, or players who join qualifiers

For scandinavian players the WPA-WNT issue need to be solved though

I think it is possible to get 20+ players in Norway if the fee is reasonable and the winner(s) get spots and also some cash to cover some of the expenses with travel. If only qualifier in the region it will maybe attract players from Denmark and Sweden too. Will be interesting to see how many...

I played so much pool I completely forgot to go to school

Same in Norway. In the room where I practice twice a week I have access to 4-5 players who are 700+ Fargo who gladly play matches with us for free, they willingly share knowledge about technique, shot-selection etc. The regional/national tournaments are no handicap, low entryfee and low...

I’ve seen him do this a couple of times. If a ball drops by accident, he then tries to make both remaining balls in one shot.
