It’s a standard Diamond table. No different to my eyes than every other event played on a standard Diamond table - from the US Open to the DCC to SBE to Turning Stone. In terms of “loose” tables, the WPC table looked nowhere as loose as the Gold Crowns of the early 2000s that Matchroom was...

That match was over a year ago.

I thought that’s what I said (7’ GCs), but I do appreciate the link and the information there. I was looking for more information on these new tables and how they compare to the Diamonds.

Have you seen their new 7’ GCs? Johnny Archer said he’s getting them in his new room.

He’s in the finals of the one pocket. Not sure if it’s still going.

Interesting, thanks. I note that he makes pains to note the date of the video and that the shot was legal at that time but that might change. So it would seem he saw it as a potential future rule issue.

I watch on DAZN. When the host network goes to commercial, you get a break in the broadcast. Same thing when there is an interval - either the 15 minute mid-session one or end of session interval. If personally wish they gave us the studio analysis, but no dice.

I think you may be confusing Bergman declining the invite to the World Pool Masters, or Shane’s decision (and Fedor, Shaw, Sky) not playing in the Predator Championship League because of the requirement to wear a Predator patch. Shane said on Facebook he didn’t get an invitation to the World...

I know we have debated this type of use before at pool, but here is Kyren Wilson using it in his semifinal against Bingham. I didn’t see that portion of the match but gather there was no debate about it.

Although Wilson was the beneficiary of a similar situation in last year’s semifinal decider against McGill, so I don’t feel too sorry for him. At least I think it was him - the frame lasted so long I don’t remember. I understand the rule where for example the player is refusing an easy path to...

What was it last year?

According to their post on FB, as a result of the casino moving off of the river boat, all of the "meeting space" is now under the jurisdiction of the Indiana Gaming Commission. So that might not include the hallways or the restaurants, but it would include the main floor and all of the rooms...

Or the World Pool Masters (normally a 16 person field).

Great piece by Tin Man. Reminds me of the baseball movie For the Love of the Game.

The only problem with Fargo is that it is blind to the quality of the match (as opposed to the opponent). You can say that Earl lost hill-hill to Hatch and it is true of course, but he also looked bad (for him) and the match was only close because Hatch also played bad (for him). Earl might...

If whatever this version of the rules is anything like all ball fouls, it is a foul to touch the ball whether it moves or not. You see it called regularly in snooker events and in properly refereed pool events from Europe (like the Matchroom events). So to me it’s a foul and should be called...

Correct about this incident. The SVB 10b was, I believe, that he shot a straight in 10b (not early) into the obvious pocket and the call was that he didn’t call it. The pro version of “you didn’t patch the pocket”.

I guess it depends on what the OP was really asking. If we are looking at the question of who plays top level pool but is a real working person, I myself would exclude guys who had long professional careers and then went into full or semi-retirement (like Rodney, Dennis, George, Mike D). I...

The best set up I've seen for this was in a bar in Manilla. They had a chalk board with names for the waiting list. Incoming player always gets to break (to stop one player from dominating the table). If a player wins five games in a row, they are automatically off the table and back to...

I don’t know if anyone outside of Canada can watch this, but it is good thing for Canadian pool. TSN is a national sports network (like ESPN) and filmed it with a full tv crew. So a proper return to pool on TV in Canada.
