I've always thought SVB's wrist cock / angle is interesting (where the butt is held at an angle in the palm so the first knuckle is raised compared to the others and the thumb is slightly angled forward). My attempts to mimic it have been met with failure.

My complaint is testing pool players to WADA standards is crazy. Major sports in the US do not so it seems crazy to us.

That’s where pool should be going (along with online gambling). Lots of sponsorship opportunities.

The WPA and its the bulk of the budget.

Many of the modern Olympic sports (skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, the x games stuff, basketball, etc) only test during Olympic competition. Otherwise there would be no athletes. The old head of the WPA was infatuated with the IOC and always tried to go above and beyond their...

That’s incredible!

The free stream the last week has been incredible to watch these matches.

He certainly seemed to have a strange run at the tournament (shirt complaint, the being singled out twice to be put on the clock), but maybe he is just more vocal. Still not as bad as Checka being forced to change her socks. But Matchroom has nothing to do with this event.

That Fedor SVB match was quite good.

Thank you

So closing the door to the shop (which lacks any hvac vents), running the exhaust out one side and an intake on the other, would solve the hvac problem? Of course the shop would quickly become outside air temperature?

Don’t know if this has been posted already , but this sock rule seems dumb:

Sky and SVB both are playing really well today.

Imagine the effort it took to go and collect $10 from these players the day before the tournament started, instead of just eating the $640 and giving the players patches with their registration packet or shirts.

Good question. I haven’t seen it quoted anywhere.

Incredible post on Facebook from Fedor about being denied a break between sets to go to the bathroom. And then agreeing with his opponent to each forfeit a game in their final set so they could both go to the bathroom. This would be a joke for a minor tournament let alone a world championship.

Assuming they have qualifiers around the country, that’s more “open” than event access determined by quickly clicking a mouse button. Few have the money or time to make it to the US Open itself, and many of those that do haven’t clicked fast enough, but lots might play in an actual qualifier...

I just ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CCYFHVHF?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image Shameful that the pros have to put up with this for the world championship.

I assume that’s who is breaking into these rooms at night. I learned from that post that there is a little tool crooks can use to unlock the security latch, so other than pushing furniture in front of the door like FSR there is no way to keep your hotel door locked.

This was a post this year from FSR about someone coming into his room in the night with a rfid scanner and pick for the door latch:
