Here's a quote from the news feed: The 2023 World Cup of Pool will take place at the esteemed Pazo de Ferias y Congresos de Lugo, which will also host the 31st Galician Team Pool Billiards Championship. With over 1,000 players participating, this tournament is considered the largest in Europe...

Obviously the only source is your fellow WNT player who could be willing to share. But only in case they are not prohibited from doing so by the same agreement 🧐 It has been mentioned multiple times that snooker players have certain oblligations to keep their mouth shut. And in the past even...

"Players are just trying to earn money, it is their choice. And they are realising their value. They are trying to restrict us." Funny enough, these words are not about pool players and possible WPA restrictions on them. That's a quote from the linked Daily Mail article, and that's what Ronnie...

Next worst thing of the pool market :oops: (psst! Don't show this image to any of Matchroom staff members, for lord's sake!)

Talk about a coincidence here, as he's been residing in Qatar recently, as a coach for local national team. That said, most certainly there is no other chance to see Konstantin competing internationally. Like we don't happen to see Roschkowsky any longer (currently coaching team Austria). That...

And they earn $250 in return of $750 invested if they end up in Last 96. Really brutal.

That's one of the most weird shots you might have seen in decades. Looks as if everyone agreed the "touching ball" rule from snooker applies to pool.

@Pool artist , Not sure whether you could locate your cue butt there but here's a link to some past Falcon models (click the buttons to navigate different product lines). Falcon cues (Geocities)

Exactly. That's the path I had to take when received my custom made shafts (by Danielson). I made all the measurements but the inner diameter where the shaft pilot fits, so turned out I could not screw new shaft snug. A millimeter or two were removed in a repair shop, so here we go, a happy...

Apparently Ms Frazer will have to wait until all the sound players of the past pass away. Oliver Ortmann at T1 vs Mario He has just played perfect position on the purple ball (rack 3). Only to realise it is NOT the ball he has used to see throughout all his illustrious career.

Got to know from him some details about how the event is run and managed. I wouldn't want to spoil the party, and won't elaborate, but that's a freakin disgrace. MR brand stamp over this is ridiculous. Well, just you wait - no wonder.

I proceeded to Matchroom Pool website, with the hope to get the schedule/order of play. Zero info there. Given the caliber of participants (well, okay, divide by the organization level) that's is beyond understanding, why MR treats Sharks Open this way. I realize they pay attention to "blue...

X-rated?! Whoa... Now you got me interested, LOL. Jassie does not look like a person who'd pick such content to wear on herself permanently :oops:

That's a point I'm yet to see with any ranking system out there in pool. There is such thing as inflation. Applied to sporting rankings, good system is supposed to take that into account. In case of a pause a player's ranking value should decrease accordingly. The longer his abscence from the...

You might be eager to take a look at how the structure of pool looks like :) Either at WPA and/or WCBS website (not sure which one presents it better and more user-friendly).

No doubt about. Great addition to the raw of Hall-of-Famers!

Not necessarily top gun wins are not welcome in this system. After all, it is based on top performances, otherwise becomes hardly watchable and not appealing to the audience. But a Cinderella story definitely stirs the pot :) Some time ago it was Fallon Sherrock in darts doing that for...

@spartan , any idea why those videos don't feature Hill vs Busty any longer? 🤔

Like stated above, the cue ball is supposed to be at your possession as long as you break - along with other balls. It is easy. All you need to do is explain yourself. Probably in a gentle manner, like mentioned also.

I tend to agree. And, based on that, I think the most fair approach would have been alternating such otherwise forced choice of balls. For instance, 10 racks Mick plays stripes, next 10 rack Django takes stripes, and so on. Might be 20 instead of 10 if the organizers prefer so.
