    US Open 9-ball updates thread..

    Live score now says 7-7 Tin Man vs. Jeremy Jones. Now up 8-7! I heard that if you beat the Mosconi Cup captain you’re automatically on the team.

    For sure. But Boyes withdrew, presumably to do some commentating, and if both Boyes and Trump won their next matches they would be playing each other. Now Trump will play a lower-level player. I’m sure not a conspiracy, but interesting how it played out.

    US Open 9-ball updates thread..

    I think you’re “Phil Yates-ing” it a bit there. It’s hard to judge when he plays someone who literally didn’t make 3 balls in a row in that match (I think he made 2 balls once?). Trump looked to me like he’d lose to anyone closer to 650 or lower, but who knows, maybe his game will go up when he...

    Oh, Phil Yates believes it, he definitely believes it. :LOL:

    It’s probably an ideal situation for him. It’s not like he came to win the tournament, you’ve got to assume he’s there for the experience. What better than to be on the TV table and playing probably the most famous person in the field.

    This is painful. Trump Vs unknown, first game: Two fouls, a miscue, and a scratch after making the 8 to leave Trump ball in hand to make the 9.

    Instructions on watching US Open

    I don’t know about darts, but they’ve definitely shown the pool events in their entirety, and left them for replay for some period of time (several days, if I recall correctly).

    Instructions on watching US Open

    They said Table 1 would be on DAZN but Matchroom live would have Table 2. I don’t know if it’s free.

    WORLD 10 BALL CHAMPIONSHIP (6-10 Sep 2021), Las Vegas, 9ft, Winner $35K

    It seems like his frustration tolerance has been poor and getting worse. He’s never been a robot when controlling his emotions, which is fine, but lately when he gets a little frustrated he’ll let tiny little position misses get him flipping his hands and shaking his head, even though he’s fine.

    Watching some of the 10 ball last night.

    Yeah I wonder if that’s what he’s watching. The camera work on the main stream has been very good. The camera operators clearly are pool players who know what to look at. At worst, sometimes they’ll show the shot but not switch to the overhead view to see where the cue ball is traveling, and...

    They changed their channel name from Cue Sports International to World Billiard TV.

    All they have announced so far is Chris Reinhold v. Zielinski at noon Vegas time. (Hmm, and the World Billiard TV YouTube channel is saying Atencio v Oi at noon.)

    Bar Table Dennis Vs SVB Updates

    I loved them yesterday. I never thought I could read a pool match like I was reading a book.

    A moment of revelation

    The popularity of Minnesota Fats attests to the benefits of talking during the match. And I think a huge part of the popularity of Phil Helmuth is that people are waiting for him to blow up. Is he the Earl Strickland of pool? It’s a mistake for promoters to just want quiet players with perfect...

    Predator BK Rush vs BK Rush Jump Break

    I think it breaks the same; I’d be more concerned about how good of a jumper it is compared to a dedicated jumper with a smaller/lighter jump handle.

    Conditions to participate in the upcoming U.S. Open

    Yeah, I can believe these contracts are copy-pasted from similar ones, and it really may not have anything specific in mind. But since there’s some confusion about it, to the extent that their COO addressed it publicly on Facebook, they ought to change it or just remove it.
