As I said its widely shared opinion, but an opinion all the same that Matchoom are in the sports entertainment business and therefore love drama as it appeals to the wider fan base for their various product offerings. You have every right to hold a different opinion.

Your posts are very strange and cryptic, but not rude, so theres no reason for me not to reply. I'm not sure why you think I was quoting anyone, I simply said that from Matchroom's perspective, random stuff like that simply adds to the drama! I would say it is widely accepted that Matchroom...

With the increasing professionalism (and prize money) of the World Nineball Tour, if the Americans travel as much as the Europeans do they will close the gap and future Mosconi Cup's will eventually be close. If they don't travel as much then the Europeans are likely to remain dominant. I...

I have no idea what you mean?

Yeah...my point is its very rare, as someone else posted there was a similar instance in the World Pool Masters in 2021 and whilst it will have happened other times, its so rare it really isn't a huge deal. Also from Matchroom's perspective, random stuff like that simply adds to the drama!

That is probably the one I'm thinking of then!

Like you said yourself its very rare! It happens, very occasionally, so its not a big deal. I don't specifically recall it happening in the Mosconi Cup before (that said I have a vague recollection of something similar maybe about 10 years ago, but its very possible I'm getting confused with a...

This event is very much about show, so the press conference is there to generate hype, ideally (from Matchroom's perspective) suggest animosity between the two teams (which wasn't the case today and is probably less so these days as they all know each other so well anyway now I'd imagine). Also...

A very fair point, but one thing I did think, is that perhaps with real estate prices rising in all major western cities (even if the rise has been temporarily slowed since covid), there is some logic that perhaps snooker clubs may look at the return on x snooker tables vs 1.5x Heyball tables...

I would try posting on the pro9 site (UK focused 9-Ball site) as well as the GB9 & UK 9-Ball Tour (run by Premier Pool Promotions I think) Facebook groups. That will get you exposure to the virtually all serious players around the country who might be more likely to come into contact with your...

+1 for this!

All resolved! https://wst.tv/wst-statement-update/ They moved the date so it didn't clash with a WST event.

GB9 is still running (or rather is re-starting next year), but all the events are being played in Bradford, so not really ideal for you! There is also the UK 9-Ball Tour (not sure if they have a webpage, but there is a Facebook group), which is a tour run in clubs, rather than hotels. Not sure...

Possibly so, however it would be very surprising if Matchroom hadn't anticipated this scenario and have some kind of plan ready. Lets not forget they have already done this once in the Darts world (if you're not familiar read about BDO vs PDC, the latter being Barry Hearn's newer organisation...

Yep and as a pool fan you probably pay attention and perhaps even have your own set, however...Matchroom are targeting those that aren't necessarily existing or hardcore pool fans. They want to attract people that perhaps like to play socially and hope they can get them to watch a bit, or maybe...

Don't take my comment too literally :D But joking aside, when you're used to a specific pattern and don't see the new colours regularly having the guide is handy, I still automatically think in the old colours before remembering!

Also...with the colour of the balls changing so frequently having an on screen guide is quite useful!!!! 😆😆😆

But on another day, winner breaks is more exciting as they guy thats just put together a 7 pack misses and the other guy comes back with a 5 pack and it creates tension. Its just sport, sometimes its one sided, other times its close, just the way it is.
