Are they using those Czech four ball rules for scoring?

Turns out it's a two way shot. And pretty impressive either way.

You know why 3 cushion isn't more popular in the US? Because we don't have cheerleaders at tournaments like in Korea.

What's interesting is a Korean player had the exact same layout and made basically the same exact shot except he picked up one more rail before the first ball and came in at a sharper angle.

You insert your shaft and pump away

An old bottle or $65 hmmm

Ah, this is the place. It is just a bar with that one little cute table. I guess it's just amateur drunks playing a yearly tourney. https://www.velkytynec.cz/hospoda-vlastislav-jan

From reading the comments, on top of the 2 balls = 1 point, 3 balls = 10 rules, apparently if you shoot rail first you double the points. This is Caudron on what must be a 6' table. Looks like what they're playing on.

Forget about pockets. Table size isn't even standardized. Even if some master Pool Agency issued a decree on pocket size tomorrow, I doubt hall owners are going to throw out their tables and replace them, or have them re-engineered.

They just had another "tournament" a few hours ago. Krbecek won with 600 points in 2 hours. Some truly baffling shot choices. It's weird how they never tap the balls lightly when they have them together and score a series. They do one or two points and then hammer the balls around the table.

I bet that guy with the brand new game that's all things to all people and solves the problem with pool is there, right? It would be silly to roll out a new game and not take advantage of a big expo?

Just like with billiards, pool is more than 8 and 9 ball. Straight pool is exactly like 3C, it all comes down to points alone, there is no sell out. Also, I know you're not Czech, but you're a little more Czech adjacent than we are in the States. Do you have any knowledge of this particular...

Like right here - couldn't you hit a little high left on the white, drive it to the corner and just graze the blue ball and then you'll be downtable of all three balls in the corner?

From the freaking cacophony in the background I think it's just in some bar. It's always the one table. I think it's a "tournament" like you have a yearly thing with the guys in the bar. This guy seemed to have the idea, he brings the balls back to the corner, he was so close, and then just...

Hell, I think I could do it it under ten on such a tiny table. These guys are terrible. Unless there is some subtlety of strategy I'm missing, it seems like more than a few times they get close to putting the balls in the corner and then they just blast off with some hard shot and the balls...

Part of the new Korean break rules The default table is a pool table. You have unselect everything for billiards.

I found this got brought up before https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/video-of-czech-four-ball-2019-tournament.503615/ I hadn't even noticed the no chalk. It's weird, since they are using spin. That can't be a 7 foot table, though, right? That looks like 6.

I don't like it, at all. Not at that sharp angle, dodging the yellow at the corner, backing up off the short rail? If I have the idea right. You know they have stuff like https://pad.chalkysticks.com/ now? You can draw it out in the same amount of time you go, "left, long, short, long...

Was this arrow showing where the ladies (and some gentlemen) in the audience's eyes are focused??
