There was one time where I thought, "Man, Morra's pause in his back swing has gotten crazy long since he went lefty." But seriously you're right it's different every year. There was one year they got Kozoom to stream every table and it was awesome. I would still prefer this year's stream...

No idea, but it is definitely happening. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

The scheduling of this tournament and its matches is quite strange. They really are dragging it out. I suppose it could lead to better performances since guys aren't having to play 3-5 matches in a day, but taking an entire day off during the tournament for some Qatari national holiday is...

Diamond Pub and Billiards (this is a bar and poolroom not the table manufacturer) in Louisville has Diamond bar tables and 2 9ft tables at least they did the last time I was there a couple of years ago.

Thank you. That's what I was wondering and pretty much what I suspected. Also, I wanted to clarify I did not state the game was dead. Obviously there are still many varieties of carom games being played where popular. I was just trying to figure out how this game was played the championship...

His control over all 3 balls is extremely impressive. It's hard to believe there was ever high level straight rail competition when this type of play is possible. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I'm watching the match from this morning where Corey beat Morra and if you only watched the first 9 racks you wouldn't think Corey would pull this match out let alone make the final 16. He must have played himself into form. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

The most amazing thing about that story, lorider, is that you told a woman to her face that she gained 10-12 pounds and didn't get throttled. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

The sterile environment of this tournament unnerves me. There is no light music in the background and it sounds like spectators (probably not many in Qatar as it is) may not even be allowed in the room. If I was a player I don't think I'd like it to be THAT quiet. Sent from my SM-N920V using...

There will be a desk to the left of the outside of the tournament room. That is the desk where you can pay entries and buy backs and get your player id badge. The ID badge gets you in to the tournament room all week and I believe it comes with +1 pass also Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Appleton said on facebook that they screwed the draw up. The bottom half is much tougher, and he said they were supposed to put 1 loss guys up against undefeated players and failed to do so. It's single elim from here out anyway, but if there were draw rules they were supposed to follow and...

It has been at least 4 years. It might be more like 8 or 9 years. I think theyre pretty pressed for space with the attendance being up the last few years. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

With the 1 on the spot and the magic rack or whatever non-union Mexican equivalent they are using it really is that easy. It's like a trick shot. I was straight up stunned when I saw Mika have several dry breaks which probably explains why he went 2 and out. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I don't understand why there seem to be referees near every table, but they are still playing rack your own. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

There is no seeding at the Derby. It is huge fields with random redraw every round. I do hope the 9 ball match scores will be recorded and entered into the Fargorate database this year unlike last. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Portable external battery for your cell is actually a great suggestion. Here is the model I recommend to everyone. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Not an issue if you're not driving, but for anyone else who might be it's good to know there is a 4 dollar toll every time you cross the bridge from IN to KY and vice versa. They take a picture of your plate and mail you a bill. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I ordered a break shaft on a labor day sale that was in stock and i ordered with a pretty standard 5/16-14 pin and it took about two months to get to me. When I emailed a couple of times I got the same "completing the join work" line. It really wasn't like that in my past dealings.

Most everything has been covered by others, but I'll add a couple of items. The ice cream place outside of the tournament room is Graeter's and it's the bomb. It's not cheap, but it's pretty much in line with the prices for the Graeter's ice cream we have here in my hometown. I highly...
