    Gorst vs Manas

    And they played another exhibition before that (during Hanoi Open if memory serves me?). Fedor was down 2-6 but then won every single rack in a race to 13 or what... FG was also streaming that match, so it is up there on his YT but I'm too lazy to check the final score.

    Tier list of every shaft i've ever owned (with quick write-up of each)

    If compared to 314-3 (3rd gen) Vantage is said to have less deflection: Predator's Vantage shaft offers slightly lower deflection than the 314-3, particularly on high-speed shots. (from AI query)

    A visit with Nick Varner (plus new Joss cue)

    If ever you are going to pay Nick another visit, would you please say thanks to him for collaboration with Falcon Cues! :love: Some of those were awesome. Made in Canada back then. Here is a nice little story from my pool mentor about Varner, whom he used to work with quite a lot. When asked to...

    Watching how a David Alcaide vs Jaybee Sucal match ended made me think, Matchroom really has to keep track of earlier decisions they make. Here is a quote from The Official World Nineball Tour Event Rules 12. Conceding In all World Nineball Tour events concessions are not permitted. If a...

    Philippine Open

    Interesting, that's a home city for Ruslan Chinakhov, the place where he was born and played Russian Pyramid/ pool.

    Another thing to add to the list is MR's approach to the break shot. "Forceful enough" to refree's discretion is ridiculous. Set any measurable method to control this. The easiest being an app at every table at preliminary stages and a radar gun for the latest (one table set-up). As long there...

    Philippine Open

    There is a great tool at timeanddate dot com, namely Time Zone Converter. Enter any locations you need to compare and the time you want. In this particular case, 12:30 in Manila gets you to 0:30 EDT (like Washington, DC). Yes, that is 12:30 a.m. - of the same day (EDT zone is 12 hrs behind)

    That's a poor excuse, IMO. An aspiring fan is supposed (or should I say, obliged) to get familiar with the history of the game. Which in case of pool/billiard is pretty deep. I'm sure it is not about a certain color of the ball which we feel very sad about. It is the history of the game we love...

    A couple of AZers suggested MR is yet to admit the mistake. Actually, at one of the podcasts/interviews, be it Windows Open or Boyes youtube, Emily finally agreed that messing with ball colors was a mistake. So what? We are still there with that Blak ball set. Probably because it is so hard to...

    I have no strategy in this regard, as long as I see there is no way for our concerns to be considered by Matchroom. Okay, hope there is, but it is really in vain, so again, no strategy. Not about things which are out of your control, you know.

    And pretreat the cloth so that is plays like a two-week broken in. This will make pool a better viewing product.

    MR format racking preferences

    A randomizing app is fine - probably for those people who don't trust simple things. There is an easy way to rack balls randomly without any kind of software. Watch referees at WPA tournaments do this.

    Philippine Open

    They don't allow chicken inside big shopping malls in Manila :) So various poultry species flock around outdoor sheds with a pool table.

    Philippine Open

    Matchroom wildcard should go to Rubilen Amit. Or Chezka Centeno. Actually, they both deserve a place. Pity MR did not see it.

    Welcome to AZB forums. It happens from time to time. Used to be a better world. Still many great and respectful members to interact with.

    Controversial Non-Call of WRONG-BALL-HIT-FIRST FOUL - Hanoi Open - Capito vs. Lechner Quarter Final

    WPA rules have a section about protest ruling process. A player is entitled to disagree with ref's call, and there is an official procedure of how to issue a protest to TD.

    Finally! Kudos jbart for compiling such a list. Hopefully you could update it, as there could be more to add. Thus far I'd like to comment on a couple of things you mention. It is about the points system MR uses. First, being too top heavy. This is what Barry Hearn wants. Quotes: So this...

    There is a tiny chance someone from MR team gets a glimpse of all the good points here. Like there is a member who is in touch with AZB for their streaming app. Emily personally does not care too much about emails addressed to her in regard with what she is doing wrong.
