Maybe the room is waiting for someone to volunteer to run them. Maybe the room is not willing to donate the table time. Maybe no one wants to play just for bragging rights. Have you tried volunteering to run one?

The "problem" of islands has been discussed here before. It's not the problem you imagine. If you want what you write to be understood by the members here, you should avoid extremely technical words like "cardinality". You could have just said that players need to be identified uniquely. Each...

What problems and fixes do you have in mind. How much rating error do the problems cause? Please be clear and specific in your criticism.

Technology can't make a useful contribution to calling the lag.

As for the aiming assistant, there is already a projection system with camera that can draw shot lines and display cut angles.

For player rating, I think Fargorate is close to the best that can be done. It would be great if all pool organizations used it officially.

For the time clock, there are already several good solutions including the way Accu-Stats does it.

For those who were wondering about the title sponsor, LiveSB.io, there is some info in the Billiard News forum.

If I had to guess, I'd say livesb.io is looking to get their name in front of a lot of sports fans. The site is in Thai and Vietnamese only. Maybe the huge response to the pool tournaments in Vietnam got their attention. I have not heard of much (any?) Thai billiards, but Vietnam has become an...

There is another way. :devilish: 🛢️

In New York it rhymes with moist.

The last time I counted, I had 17 including three masse shafts.
