Much thinner crowd today. I'm watching on Sky myself. It's just not competitive so far and the fans have lost interest in what seems like a foregone conclusion. I'm not seeing any fight back. More like grab that 10K and vacay until the Philippine Open.

I find it strange that the ROW players are all acting like it's just fun and games. Smiles all around and they are still getting drilled 7-1. Maybe their coaching is to just have a good time and enjoy the show. I would have expected a little more serious demeanor due to their present...

Nope, simply a beatdown so far.

Looks like they're trying to make a three day telecast and forget the fourth day. Or, they may play three or four matches and call it a day, depending on whether ROW can win a match or two. What if!!! ROW won all five matches! And elephants might fly through the arena too.

I wonder is anyone on here has read My Little Black Book of Pool Secrets at the back of More Pool Wars. I put stuff in there that has never been in any other pool book. If so, I'd like your opinion about that chapter.

If you really want to be a good player, you need to practice 14.1, the ultimate pool game. When you can run 50 balls with regularity then you can learn to play any game, and play it well. 14.1 is all about cue ball control and knowledge of how the balls interact.

Most of the pool halls here are still using the older sets of balls. In some of the big action rooms they have the new sets. Efren came last night wearing a covid mask. Maybe to hide his identity. When people see its him they follow him everywhere. When they introduced him to the crowd he got...

He forgot to tuck it in and part of his shirt hung down a couple of inches.

I sat in VIP and could see just fine. I also took a seat in general admission and could see okay there as well. Not as close, but close enough. Yes, you can always be closer to the table, but I didn't hear anybody there complaining. IMO it is a great arena for a pool tournament, easily seating...

They would love to come if they could afford it. What I see there are the people with better (higher paying) jobs or those who own their own business. The average pool fan in the Philippines is very low paid. If they could sit in general admission for 100-200P you would see a lot more in...

Right on all counts. I saw JJ with this big smile on his face and thought WTH is with that, the most important moment in the match. Unlike some on here I feel good coaching can make a difference. I coached some damn good players and got them over the finish line.

The ref was in the right spot. It was a good call and a brave one.

Day Two They start again with a team match. Interesting, different than MC. The players on both teams look more comfortable with the table today and the level of play is higher. Good match and Asia pulls it out 5-4, thanks to a terrific run out by Manas. They extend their lead to 5-0. Next...

High ticket prices!

It's a beautiful.arena and a First Class production typical of Matchroom. We had a good crowd (a few hundred) who cheered loudly, were partisan for Asia, but were respectful of all the players. Good officiating by both referees as well. They moved around so as not to block one group more than...

I want to make a correction to a post I made earlier about the referees. In person you get a different perspective than the myopic camera view. I realised the refs were moving around so not to block the view of the same spectators for more than one shot at a time. There actually is no place for...

Observations on the first day here. It's a beautiful arena and a First Class production, with a similar look and feel as the MC. The crowd was sparse at first but grew to several hundred by the end of match one. They were loud and partisan, but respectful of all the players. What looked like a...

Huge difference, Little Ko as opposed to Manas!

He "didn't think" and you "don't think." Not your best form Sir Bob.

MR reads AZBilliards. I just got my media pass. ;)
