Here is the way I approach it. Hope it can motivate others to try it out. Out of 5 attempts you aim for a score appropriate for your level of play. Trying to beat your personal best and getting great immidiate feedback on every attempt. In my case 15 (3.0 average) is very very strong, 19 my...

Drawing exactly 4 diamonds to a bulls eye feels like completely uncontollable and random and almost impossible accomplishment. When you do find a way to do repeatedly and constantly, it feels like magic and is one of the greatest feelings possible in pool :love:

The only explanation for the low participation I can come up with is something Malcolm Gladwell wrote about. There was a famous case in New York where a crime happened, dozens of people witnessed it, and nobody called for help. The explanation wasn't that city people were less caring. It was...

Anyway, as mentioned, I really like the drills, especially the Draw Matrix Challenge. So I was a little disappointed when I realized that I probably won't be able to win anything in this one and will essentially be participating outside of the actual competition. That said, I'll keep working...

And I honestly don't understand why these challenges don't attract far more participants. You are essentially offering free money for practicing two fundamental skills that every serious pool player needs anyway. Draw and follow control are about as basic and important as it gets. Being able to...

Whatever your motivation is or was for putting up the prize money for the challenge, I respect it. Maybe it's to promote Billiard University, attract people to the camps, or simply give something back to the pool community. That said, I have no interest in putting up my own money into the prize...

In the same manner I would still be interested to go for perfect score in BU I and going for 195+ in BU I + BU II.

Just from the math there is a huge difference between 72 out of 75 and perfect score (like running 75 in straight pool or running 75 in 4 innings). So the chances to get a perfect score in both are astronomically little. With 90% to draw perfect target each shot its 0.6% (one in 133) to get the...

This is from last challenge. So I obviously meant something like a perfect score bonus. And to improve the chances of you (or any sponsor) to never having to pay it out, I even would ante up the challenge, that only the first to get perfect score in both drills gets it :) (I mean, the perfect...

Any bonus for a perfect score? I am betting $ 100 of my prize money that I can do a perfect score in both drills til the end of the challenge. Any takers to give me 50:1 on my money? :D

The Draw Matrix Drill Challenge doesn't look right without my name on it 😅 . And Eric Simpson needs some motivation to improve his score and reclaim the top spot on the leaderboard.

nice stats My conclusion would be: it isn't tough action in the sense thas it's zero sum game. (Players as a group don't lose money.) Payout is just so top heavy, that only the winner is really profiting from calcutta and all the guys not winning just contribute to his winnings. (So for Lunda...

Sky vs Bustamante was 3rd match of the day, so Bustamante came from 7 hour match against Gorst. Still long day. But the actual match took 4:18. Just wasn't updated on digipool til noon of the next day. Sky started that day with a 7 hour hill hill match against Billy Thorpe. Followed by 5 hour...

Also very helpful to see, which matches I missed. Thanks for the stats. IMO Larry Schwartz is by far the weakest One Pocket commentator from team PoolactionTV. Had to turn him on mute most times. Jeff and Jerry McWorter did a good job though. Always a pleasure to listen to Bill Incardona.

Definitely best tournament of the year. Please continue to add the old Buffalo Pro Classics in your library (would love to watch the one, where Lunda won last time).

They did have difficulties to run out. Tough table and tough rolls. Bustamante played some crazy combination or thin cut a few times to move ton of balls to his pocket and ended without a shot multiple times. And then the balls went up table for some high quality One Ball One Pocket. But they...

strange commentary :) the players like it. the spectators love it. Best and biggest one pocket tournament of the year. its obviously not for everybody. but nobody makes you play in it or watch it :D

they just didn't update the score on digipool. Noone played for 15 hours. Gorst vs Bustamante was about 7 hours. Sky vs Bustamante was about 6 hours.

cant sign in to watch the second Friday stream (though I did buy the event) Edit: got resolved very fast by the HelpDesc

incredibly disappointing, that there is no stream before noon. And only one secondary stream with a bad angle. (It would be so easy to install a few more cams and offer subscribers more games to watch).
