Is there a youtube stream for Reyes Cup? Hmmm :unsure:

skor, the Americans must have missed your previous message when you remind them pro pool is not limited to US scene. In Europe 8-ball is one of four official disciplines, far from being "dead". Also, there is no need having multiple events throughout the year in order to have a tournament with...

It has been an exhibition from the very beginning

I don't agree with the idea a coach is helpless once the play begins. A true coach can turn the tide at halftime (if we turn to team sports experience). At MR team invitationals captains have enough time to set the players' minds right.

Maybe now MR realize that "One Gorst doesn't make the team" :) And stops flickering the format.

Alex Lely and Johan Ruysink would disagree

Yup, Aranas aka Dodong Diamond. His matter has been discussed a little in recent Hanoi Open thread, @iusedtoberich

Some of Accu-Stats tapes are very valuable not for the level of play but for legendary commentary. Also, I think, seeing champions miss awfully proves they are all human, and also show pool is not as easy game as one could imagine, especially when its mental part takes over under pressure. That...

A dream event would be Philippines vs Rest of Asia, then Mosconi Cup Europe vs USA, and the winners meet in a big final matchup

I prefer a game played according to official WPA rules of play. There is a clear statement: balls are to be racked randomly. Hence, there is no ground for any personal preference. Of course, there is always an option of following "my home, my rules" principle.

Efren 'Bata' Reyes in the stands

Well, Django just said Efren missed Day 1 but is present tonight. Must have been a doppelganger then. Also the MC gave Efren a special welcome now.

Efren was spotted in VIP first row seating during opening match at least. Must have been there whole day long, with Aristeo Puyat also.

Take me in the same boat with ya. MR should have kept the formula they declared: winning Mosconi Cup team vs Asia. Do you all remember how it was presented last year? "You fans were asking for it, here you go" (Team Asia in teams invitational event). I dislike the whole idea of Team ROW where...

And they even do not have to predict anything, the bookies only correct the money flow with their rates. In the end bookmakers get their "rake" regardless of the outcome (by never offering 100. or 1 to 1 payout, for a coin toss, as an example). Unless a very big upset happens (i.e. a player or a...

I recall we used to utilize a system locally, that there was a "strength coeffitient" for every tournament run under this system. Based on rankings of every player involved. And finishing high at a "stronger" (harder) tournament added to player's ranking more than similar finish at a lesser...

I guess they will correct that. When next US Open comes, haha. Until then, they wouldn't care.

Just use a great tool at timeanddate.com, it is Time Zone Converter. Enter any regions you need to compare, and there you get your local time for the case!

(garczar, as usual, tends to forget this is an open forum for any pool-related questions we have :cool:, and seems to fail just walking by anything he does not feel fitting his own framework)
