The last 64 players in a tournament need to probably earn at least $8,000 USD to make globetrotting worthwhile if they are in it for the long term Pool will need to get to a state where there are as many tournaments as there are in tennis or golf. This will allow the average pro player to...

Pro pool probably needs to be based out of Europe or Asia with pros not constantly having to travel to different continents, except for a few select tournaments.

I suppose Filler played the World Eight ball because he was reminded of the following: You don’t tug on Superman’s cape You don’t spit into the wind You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger And you don’t mess around with Karim. Even if you do have a 2 piece custom made pool cue given...

It comes downs to the fact that Joshua Filler effectively hoodwinked his peers and picked up a $75,000 prize by winning the World Eight Ball Championship, when most of the other players stuck by their word and sat out. That probably leaves a bad taste in their mouth even if they are friends...

This was white Diamond bar box table was used at the APA World Championship this week on the tv table.

I went to a pool hall 6 months ago and the set of balls that were provided to me had at least 3 different ball sets mixed up in it, and some of the balls had parts of the numbers missing the filling out of them. Some of the balls were also discolored. I’m bringing my own balls if I go there...

How many balls does the side and corner pockets hold with the sponge?

Shane is the current World 8 Ball champion which was won in Austria if that counts for anything. Due to lack of World 8 ball, 10 ball, and 14.1 titles over the last decade, SVB’s trophy case is potentially a lot lighter because of it. Shane is a special player and there is a reason why most...

One thing that is interesting that Emily mentioned in the interview with Karl Boyes was that only Matchroom signed players will be playing in the Mosconi Cup. Just how many US players are signed up as I think now it will pretty much be the same roster every year for the US unless there are...

I think that people should support the event. If we care about the players then this needs to be successful in order for other promoters or even the Saudi government to help sponsor the remaining Matchroom events. Too many talented players have left the game at the professional level in...

Here is the video of Alcaide’s shot

I’m going to speculate that if the balls used in the World 8 ball were Aramith Tournament and not Predator Arcos II, that some of those skids would not occur. Since the Arcos II use a Super Aramith pro formula, those balls seem to get more dirty than the Aramith Tournament resin balls.

if I were Matchroom I would remove the 9 ball and put a gold ball in its place and call the game Gold Ball which is not a game that is governed by the WPA. That should meet the requirement that players aren’t going to non sanctioned 9 ball events.

Michaela Tabb was previously a referee for Bonus Ball 9 years ago, but it can be difficult to remember the rules from such a long time period in between.

There was very similar CGI used in the 2019 Canadian 9 Ball Championship.

I have yet to see Matchroom produce their own rulebook and they are in charge of the World Pool Championship so therefore they are using WPA rules.

I mentioned in a previous thread when the Sanjin foul occurred that why would these 2 examples below in the 2005 World Championshi final not be considered fouls as the cue ball elevated off the table at about the same height as the 2 examples by Dr. Dave. The only thing different is that they...

Those are Super Aramith Pro balls.

The entire 2022 Mosconi Cup team for Europe got eliminated in the first round.
