Come on, are you trying to insinuate that by moving to Buckinghamshire they operated at a loss and just for the benefit of TV viewing fans? I would believe they make more money from TV than in person attendance. "Willingness to step up to the plate" 😆

I am sure if they had reached out to the players and explained the situation with the heat/no AC, the players would not have reverted to social media to complain. Something went wrong management wise. Do you really think MR would have cancelled the event given all the investment made? No sure...

A business model based on rewarding loyalty only will always fail. Sidelined players might only show up for major tournaments which have potential for bigger payouts, to the detriment of the sport. Production is not only about TV, the temperature at the arena for the Hanoi Open was miserable...

Exactly! Matchroom desire for loyalty and control will be their downfall.

Really nice insight from Coach Johan Ruysink on the Window's Open podcast. He mentioned the "toxic" environment at MR events. People who keep praising Miss Emily, mostly you educated and informed ones, are doing a disservice to the sport. MR needs to get over the shit that they dominate pool...

Looking at the stats for ROW can make a grown man cry 😢 😆 😆

Do you have the final games/racks totals? I must have missed it if it’s in your write up.

I don't think so ... just my opinion. Fedor jumps were more difficult and they were cleaner with position. Maybe MR could do a clip with the successful jumps in the tournament.

If the MVP was based on actual play, Biado would have been the clear winner. And if there was a golden jump cue prize, Fedor would have won hands down. That guy is just sick with a jump cue.

You call that a well scripted spectacle 😆

Why did you say that if the 9 ball was hit first, it would come off the tangent line of the 4?? Is that how tangent lines are determined? It would have been better if you showed both lines for the 90 degrees rather than drawing a line and calling it a tangent line. I believe Marcel's job was...

Jay, you really liked the Yapp/Duong vs Skyler/Jayson match, didn't you? What a masterpiece deserving the lump of crap trophy.

The doubles match was like watching an APA match. 2 scratch on the break and a hanging 9 from Team Asia. Mercy is the word 😆

She is delusional.

That's what you get when you reward loyalty over the most deserving. What a joke and people think Miss Emily is a genius. Lots of top players complained about the 100 degrees F plus heat in the arena at the Hanoi Open. That's not how you run a tournament. MR just milking the players and a...

Not sure about FSR, but I don't follow pool closely during the summer months when I do trapshooting. I believe Moritz earned his place so regardless of how he does in the Reyes Cup I wouldn't question his pick.

Correct, such a sample might be difficult to get. So sjm might have a point where overall match wins over a recent period should be the indicator. The match wins should count against everyone played not just Asia vs ROW. I guess if you start the 10 players with an 800 fargo and calculate...

I don't agree, but I am just an engineer so I can be wrong. The stats guys can weigh in if they want to. I believe matches can be decided on a single rack and with 9 ball, slops can play a factor. To me, games would a better indicator like Mike did, but the sample has to be more reflective...

See what I mean, your conclusion was heavily weighted by Fedor and FSR performance. Maybe you would care to explain the actual game count that is currently happening in the Reyes Cup.

It depends on the actual matches. Fedor beating Manas 9,0 in 5 matches would skew the results for ROW. I don't think your comparison is reasonable to conclude "very close " without looking at the actual data.
