Well, if the Qatar folks bail, maybe the fine people at Matchroom will entertain getting the World’s too. Be nice to have a proper product befitting a world championship rather than what we’ve been seeing from Qatar. IMO of course.

I’m pretty sure Carlo’s teammates will swear he’s just a strong 5.

Glen, Your quote is of a press release issued by Brunswick. The second one is a link to a press release issued by the buyer, not by Brunswick. So they are different press releases issued by the two sides of the deal. They share an agreed content up to a point, but then the buyer added...

The two quotes are different because the first one was issued by Brunswick, who closed the chapter on those divisions and doesn't want to talk about them, and the second was issued by the buyer, who wants people to know all about what they just bought.

On the other end of the spectrum, I was in the Philippines a few years ago and was taking a cab into Manila from the airport. I am chatting to the cab driver and including where I’m from etc and he asks me what I’m going to do while I am here and I mention that I would like to see some good...

The interesting thing about the DigiCue is that it only measures from the tip hit the CB and follow through. So Busty’s pre-shot ballet wouldn’t concern it. He goes through the ball straight based on what I’ve seen, but don’t know about elbow drop. Pretty sure John Morra would score close to...

Someone (maybe Jayson) was using it at SBE and scored great. But it depends on the pro and their stroke. SVB drops his elbow all the time and it would probably buzz all the time. But the good news is that the Blue lets you turn off certain features (like elbow drop).

On the rails question, I would call the folks at Ridgeback Rails. Their website appears to under construction in terms of content, and I can't remember if their "standard" rails leave the pockets at buckets. I have the pro editions, which tighten the pockets (which I know you don't want) but...

In Canada, we use the finishes at the Canadian Championships. So Pagulayan and Morra got the spots for invitations to the world 9b and 10b. When We have an extra slot (like when Alex is in the top 16) they go down the list of finishers, I believe. Craziest thing I’ve read is that Dennis...

Here is another pic with better focus.

Alex said he bought them online from the guy in Quebec. I believe this is the website but can’t be 100% positive. http://www.billiard-eyeglasses.com/

The CBSA is taking applications for the board. If you have ideas, volunteer! I don’t know why more people don’t play. Remember however that the main prizes are entry and expenses towards playing in the World’s. And so if you aren’t interested in playing in the World’s it’s not worth it. And...

The stream was bad, I grant you. The Corner Bank has crappy wifi and can’t get better service at the moment. However, they did manage to get a full TV production of the last 8 of 9 ball, which will be shown on national TV. This is a major accomplishment. If players don’t want to come, what can...

That’s a pretty good pedigree!

Stan who? Tourangeau?

Actually I think the glasses came out only in the semis and finals. In the quarter finals he wasn’t wearing them. He complained about a missing a ball in the quarters because he couldn’t see it.

Not to knock his action, but Alex was playing scary good with the glasses, even by his standards. And he's still getting used to them!

If you have Facebook, you can watch the 10b finals here (no sound or commentary): https://www.facebook.com/CanadianBilliardsSnookerAssociation/videos/1215917328571542/ The 9b will be shown on TV in Canada in August with a full production.

Do we know the pocket specs and the table? I haven’t been following this most recent attempt.
