So I'm still thinking about innovating pool and I'm trying to get a full picture of the costs to get a team working on it. The idea would be to gather (video)gamedesigners and 2 pool players. The poolplayers would be brainstorming with the team about possible concepts and playtesting (ie...

The conditions (table size, pocket size, foul rules, video quality, anything else?) need to be clear first so that any record is undisputable.

I think I mostly tune in for the players. If my favorite(s) play I can watch a full match without skipping. Usually I turn it on 30 mins late and then watch the stream from the start so I can skip breaks and easy run outs. Granted, I missed some misses because if that, but it saved me lots of...

There must also be a word for the empty feeling one experiences the day after a big tournament. Every day there's great pool and then suddenly nothing.

😄 I like your rant about a small thing. I agree-ish. The Japanese or Germans surely have a word for such a rant!

And lets not for get, it's 9-ball 🙄

Congrats SVB!! Amazing performance in such a strong field. Seemingly he had a dip in focus or stamina, but he overcame and won. Massive respect! My take on the tournament: + almost all super elite in one pressure cooker + the tight pockets create a slightly different dynamic: different shot...

Albin miscue on the break, after consulting the referee it's ball in hand for Filler: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxjNU4cWu9W2YyPYnknfhSaovtf4aIQ0Un?si=k6kxeerY_vgPgkDI Pt2 https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxGNiwcWjUz0Yx5JemQ9CBKdOqk8Lz0W0n?si=11fCYDOHpLzItBfV Better clip...

Filler on being a bit sick and the table: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx0CzNwyR4Xv6N4i70IQSvnGrLssn89yAy?si=kqRHlVVl0yyPLqsv Pt2 on 4 inch pockets https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx_kdWk8hbHKb2hf8nE7mpPozr5sjdn5fV?si=hrUXpMzrWHkmJnTq

Same here! And as some one else said: every rack matters in the end. That's a really nice feature. My opinion remains that a new poolgame could only make pool go mainstream. A game that has Texas Holdem like features, or some "push your luck" mechanism that adds extra intensity to every shot...

Yeah, nice try, large corporations!! ---- So I had another brain short circuit: deep fake pool video's. Train video AI on the many many hours of pool footage so AI can create any type of player and have them play actual games. At any time you can let Filler play prime Varner a virtual game of...

But that would result in launching balls!

I'm not an engineer, but I think the shrinking pockets are a challenge. The force of a ball on full speed is significant.

Really love the format! Niels Feijen was ill and is replaced by David Alcaide. I seriously doubt he'll play again in this tournament. Hope he proves me wrong.

Pockets that shrink with a shot timer. So pockets start at, say, 4,5" and in X seconds they close up. The slower you play, the harder the shot will be. Or maybe first 20 seconds it's 4,5", then in the next 20 seconds it closes fully. So after ~30 seconds the pockets shrink beyond ball size...

An AI powered robot that will clear the table in 99.9% of the times. It would need a couple test shots to "understand" the table condition, but after that it'll be able to make any shot that is physically possible.

I have to commend Shane for stepping up like this. It seemed like he was tumbling down, but he took control again.

Wouldn't know why you want to post it here.. But I think there is something going on. Not some secret governement stuff, but just something. Children in Holland get pneumonia unusually often. Corona happening. Many people I know are getting some kind of respiratory issues.. Might be...

Ah I think I didn't really get what mount Rushmore is. It's like the past GOATs, not the 'anytime GOATs'.
