Karl took a bunch of attendees of the Mosconi Cup and did his own little tournament. They got to experience the pressure of being on camera and shooting while the crowd was making noise. Looks like good fun.

Next year, for the second match, draw two random fans, one from the American side, one from the Euro side, and make them play each other best of five. Enormous entertainment value, drama, and momentum for whichever side wins.

My favorite thing of this whole event is the guy with the sign that says "I'M JUST HERE FOR DESISLAVA"

Yep. And then shoot it just like Shane.

There's something to this. Maybe whoever wins the lag gets to introduce one arcane bar rule for the match. Like the eight has to bank, or go into the same pocket as your last ball.

Man, it is so relaxing to have the balls be the right color. It's one of those things you don't realize until you see it.

OK, but if you make me watch one-pocket I'm out.

I can't blame him after he missed that 8 against Jayson. I'd get a new cue too.

Slippery new cloth reduces the effect of sidespin on the cue ball's path as it comes off the rails. As it ages the cloth becomes more grippy and you'll get more action from the rails. Conversely (or perversely), new cloth makes the cue ball get more action from follow or draw shots, as the...
