I will only add this personal note. I was never a top player (seven ball under them in 9-Ball, five ball from the champions) but I was still dangerous when I was in stroke. But that’s not what is important here. To this day the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life was the feeling of being in...

My good friend in the PI. Loved him

I only wish Miami and Ronnie crossed swords at one handed One Pocket. Can’t imagine ANYONE beating Ronnie at that game and I knew Miami.

Ref’d that match and their second the next year as well. Both were classic matches! The best cueing I ever saw was Denny Searcy in the Dayton Payball game. He dominated all the best players in the world on a tough twelve foot snooker table. He slow rolled balls down the rail that softly fell...

Thanks Bob, I did. I could always rack with a template in 30 seconds or less. A good template made racking easier. Wood triangles weren’t always the perfect triangles they needed to be. The Delta 13 was a big improvement.

That's several minutes Bob. You're okay with that? Gorst definitely looks vulnerable now. Not like before for sure.

That's several minutes Bob. You're okay with that?

Normally Bob, two good players should be able to play a race to eleven in one and a half to two hours max. Atlarge could probably comment on that. This match, even though it went twenty games, felt like a marathon.

I watched this on YouTube, unfiltered in the Philippines.

Weak sauce all around here. I’ll take the WNT format any day over this.

DeLuna again makes three balls on the break. Push out to a hidden two ball. Weird. Gorst immediately gives it back. Weak response by DeLuna leaving Gorst a shot. He runs the six ball run out. It’s over!

DeLuna almost misses a short three ball and it wobbles in. He fumbles along to a straight in eight ball and draw back for the nine. He draws the cue ball straight into the side pocket. Nice shot 10-9 Gorst

Referee racks, inspects, inspects and racks again. Only two minutes this time. Gorst gets up and breaks, makes a ball and loses his turn due to the three ball rule. Laughable

Now DeLuna makes three balls on the break. Nice rack ref! 9-9 now. How exciting! Not

The ref takes several minutes to rack using a template. More momentum killed!

Gorst runs a rack at 9-7 and dogs the nine to go on the hill. It’s 9-8 now. Ugly

Watching Gorst-DeLuna now. It’s a long, slow, grinding Race To Eleven 9-Ball. 7-7 now after over two hours! The WPA alternate break rules kills all the momentum. Neither very good player has a chance to catch a gear and get rolling. They run a nice rack and now get to sit down. Momentum...

Been there a million times and never seen one yet. It’s all nine footers there, in poolrooms and bars!

P. S. Actually watching the replay of the Gorst-Ignacio match. Both are doggiing it big time, missing hangers back and forth. Whew!
