And whose fault is that lol? They're the ones who decided to sign a contract with Mandalay Bay which is potentially why the dates have been problematic. There is no obligation to be in Vegas or at the Mandalay Bay. That was all their choosing. So why wouldn't they be to blame??

They also don't have to have the venue there. Or even in Las Vegas at all.

Who's to say Mandalay Bay is the only available venue though? It sure is expensive for the players to stay there.

They didn't care about scheduling last year's Mosconi Cup during Thanksgiving either lol

The ladder idea is cool but you only play when challenged which I don't like. I suggest just weekly match ups. Best of 3 sets, race to 7 each. $50 to join league. Weekly wager: A players: $20 B players: $10 If you win, you win the other player's money. All scores are reported to the...

It sucks but I think they made the right decision. The chances of winning the SBE are significantly higher than making it to Stage 2 (final 16) of the US Open. Lodging in Vegas is significantly higher than lodging in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a few hour drive from Virginia whereas Vegas...

He’ll only be in the Philippines for a month or so. He didn’t sign up for the US Open because he’ll be defending his title at SBE on the same dates.

James Aranas goes home to the Philippines and gets drilled by a kid (Kyle Amoroto) who just turned 17 years old last week in a big money match. Needless to say, the Philippines' roster is deep!

US Open: 4/13/20 - 4/18/20 SBE: 4/16/20 - 4/19/20 How am I supposed to win both tourneys next year???

Dang, you paid the same amount for the trim as you did for the whole table. I'm sure it will look great though. I just hope you have money left to fix the rails and pocket openings. Playability is much more important than aesthetics...to me anyway. I really enjoy following the project and...

Thanks RKC. No, I don't work on pool tables for a living. I re-clothed my home table a few times and I plan on doing my parent's table sometime soon. The new glue and video would certainly be helpful.

I agree. I have idea that might work: If the tournament directors in Vegas determine that a team is sandbagging, they let the team continue and whatever prize money they win must be paid directly by the local League Operator. This way, the League Operators will do their best to detect...

I hate that APA named it the World Championship. I'm sure some 4 handicap is running around telling everyone he's a world champ. Total BS...

You certainly make a good point. Although, I attribute the high stats more to the skill of the players than to a problem with the format. How do the stats compare to other 10-ball matches/tournaments with the same format? There are actually dead balls in any rack. In some games they are...

I guess that's a no...

Well, I am still waiting for Jaden to provide a review of the table you worked on at Sal's. It's only been 9 years... https://forums.azbilliards.com/showpost.php?p=2693012&postcount=148

I like the bonus payout for biggest package, etc. This might make them go for a tough shot rather than playing safe to keep the run going.

It could be that. It could also be luck/rolls. It could be killer instinct to step up at the right time. It could be SVB under-performing once he had a huge lead. It could have been a number of things...

These stats are very interesting. Based on the stats alone, it looks like Shaw actually played better than SVB and still lost. See below: Successful Breaks.............................SVB 3% Better Committed Fouls...............................SVB 3% Better BnR Games – All...
