From WPA concession rules 1.11 Concession If a player concedes, he loses the match. For example, if a player unscrews his jointed playing cue stick while the opponent is at the table and during the opponent’s decisive rack of a match, it will be considered a concession of the match.

In the Chiang Mai, Thailand bar 8 ball league the following rules are in effect along with other strange things. 1. Do not have to hit a rail after object ball contact so little touch safeties are played all the time 2. If you make opponents ball it is a foul 3. After your opponents foul, you...

The latest I heard in Shanghai is that Wu is in Shenzhen. He is coaching Chen Si Ming and others. There was a plan for him to go back to serve his military obligation in Taiwan, but the last I heard that was on hold because they were trying to figure out the technicalities of a guy who is now a...

Have no idea what the most is, but in last weeks Amway Cup I watched a 5 pack put on Shanelle by a lady from Taiwan(Tsai Pei Chen, I think) and have seen Pan break and run 7 racks in Shanghai. The Shanelle match is on youtube. These were not alternate break matches.

What he said!!!!

Remember that match with Shane was in 2009. She has progressed a lot in the last three years.

I got to it through my147.com as described above. Used google translate to get page in english

Thanks. Watching now. Tried first from Google Chrome without success. Change to IE and ok.

I've played in Shanghai for most of the last 10 years and the pool rooms I play in regularly have young wannabe players of both sexes getting coaching and playing, some starting at ages 9 or 10. I don't think they are "chosen" by the government. The ones I know and have played with come in after...

Yes she is Korean. Family lives near Seoul.

No heels for Ga Young today

The guy doing the color commentary and drawing the diagrams is named Simon. He is the king of pool commentary in Taiwan and that is about all he does. Is very knowledgeable and almost as much of a star in Taiwan as some of the players there.

You are correct. She really had no opportunity after the miss in the first game and the way it went you could not tell if she can play or not. The kick she did miss hitting was not difficult but after sitting though a runout followed by a 5 pack, she was probably a little rattled and cold. She...

If that is the match I watched, I didn't hear the sound, but there was not much to laugh about. She missed the 2 ball in the first game, then came back to the table down 6-0 after a safety and had no shot. Missed the kick, gave up BIH and sat down for the end.

YuRam just spent a couple months in Shanghai getting coaching and practicing hard every day.

My first thought too. Also, Efren is a pretty good example of skill and personality.

Is it from mainland China or Taiwan or somewhere else?. In Shanghai the only Masters chalk I have seen, real or fake, is blue. No other colors available.

I have played in some 8 ball tournaments in the past with Shanghai Billiard Association refs. The only difference from world standard rules at that time was that a three foul rule was in effect. In Shanghai the game you call 3-5-7 is called 2-5-8. No idea why the different name. Same game...

I don't think there are 2000 but there are a lot although some close and others open all the time. I play in what is supposed to be the largest room in Shanghai. It is on the top floor of a large shopping mall. I think there are almost 60 tables on two floors, mostly 9 foot pool tables but a...

I live in Shanghai and all i can say to that comment is "come on over and bring plenty of money". I know plenty of your so called "hopeless" players here that you can try if you've got the stones to do it.
