Thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to watching some top class players close-up. Nice that it's only 16 invited players. Every game should be pretty competitive.

Thanks - I look forward to a getting a new tip put on in a few seconds. I wonder if there has even been a race between people re-tipping cues? Sadly enough I think I'd quite enjoy watching a competition to see who could professionally re-tip 5 cues the quickest.

My first time going to this event and I'm really looking forward to it. I assume there will a few vendors there. Does anyone know if there is usually someone there who re-tips cues on the day? I need one doing but as this is relatively close now I can wait a couple of weeks. Pointless waiting...

Great story. I wonder if there is still a market for being the 'Chain Monkey'!

So wish bookies worldwide would use decimal odds. So much easier. USA odds: Europe -225 USA +170 Decimal odds: Europe 1.44 (put 1 on you get 1.44 back) USA 2.7 (put 1 on you get 2.70 back) Basically Europe strong-ish favs. Europe to win 11-0 USA: +15,000 Decimal: 151.0 (put 1 on you get...

Live now at World Billiard TV: Allison Fisher vs Chia Hua Chen Unlike the Kelly Fisher game - Allison Fisher has a game. Chen is a great player.

I bet if you asked this question a good few years back you'd get a different response. Pool/darts/poker was mostly played in smoke filled rooms with alcohol almost compulsory. Just like a lot of things - this seems to have changed in recent years. Is this a good thing? Now that is very...

This is the crux of the issue that Matchroom are trying to address. This change to the break may fix it. It may not. Players are smart - I'm sure they'll soon work out a high percentage shot that regularly pockets a certain ball. We'll see... Failing that - I'd just put a sock in each bottom...

Yep - definitely would be nice if all professional games and organized leagues played with the same rule set. Can't be that hard can it? Snooker rules are snooker rules. Simple. No variations that I know of (apart from the 'miss rule' really only being for professionals). But 'yep' also -...

Yeah, was interesting. Wonder if they will come up with something to make it harder to pocket balls from the break? Or how about you only get to stay at the table if you pot 2 or more balls - not just 1? Wonder what the stats are. Potting only 1 ball compared to 2 or more? She said they are...

It's back on FB. It's like the person sorting it out keeps accidentally hitting 'stop stream'. Ho hum. Better than nothing.

Yep - thanks to the DAZN balls-up the Sky coverage is being live-streamed for free on https://www.facebook.com/matchroompool Just scroll down to the 'is live' post. Has been working for a full 2 mins now. Van Boening vs Woodward.

Ever tried hitting 180 on a dart board? Hitting a baseball is way easier.

You are about to make an epic, professional looking clearance but a train goes by and the loud horn blasting out puts you right off. You get out of position on the very first ball.

I think Matchroom are making a go of it and things will evolve. In a couple of years time I'm sure a few things will be different from how they are now. What exactly will change? No idea! 9 ball rules definitely need standardizing. So many leagues insist that you must call the 9. They don't...

Forget about politics when playing pool. It really doesn't matter. The pockets are still the same size. If someone thinks a politician (left or right) is going to improve their life then they are in for a shock. Just like a below average player who spends $2,000 on a cue (of course instantly...

There's a few episodes of Columbo where he hits some pool balls. Thought at the time that he wasn't *that* bad actually. A pro-am pool tournament would be great. Eight 2 person teams. 1 pro and 1 celeb. 9 ball. Alternate shots. Randomly drawn bracket. Race to 3. Whole tournament could be done...

Bet365 go: Shaw 4/9 / 1.44 / -225 Trump 13/8 / 2.63 / 163 If you think it's certain then 4/9 is a cracking price. How much are you going to put on?

In the post-game interview just now Judd himself said about the next round v Jayson Shaw that 'this is probably the game that I get found out'. Wouldn't expect Judd to miss so many balls as he just did though. Shaw won't give him so many gifts either. Definitely going to be interesting.
