do you mean in addition to the penalty of giving ball in hand there is a warning or something if you fail to get out of a safety? don't think i get it. and it doesn't compare to snooker because snooker doesn't have the ball in hand penalty

do you think it says something about you? we're 4 years into the AI boom and people just announcing themselves writing very obvious AI generated texts, whether in work or elsewhere, (and in this case somehow also see themselves as AI pioneers in doing this), are generally not met with standing...

the 4-ball fooled the commentator

welcome. i think the thing is, people don't want AI texts on a discussion forum, they want people. i don't put much stock in how well people formulate themselves, and i'd much rather have poor grammar than AI. i use claude, chatGPT, gemini at work, and i leave it at work.

the justification is the same though, to avoid push shots

i think it's a bit lame of them not to say what the prize money is, but on the other hand it is a barbox pro-am and 5k/10k wouldn't be that bad

there are really not much else to call foul on for espinola there, since miscueing in itself isn't a foul

this is a commentator myth, unfortunately. there is one high school style academy in europe, and it's for snooker (stephen harrison something academy). pool isn't given the same respect as "real sports" that have special high schools and scholarships. i think if you ask all current european...

it's the flat earth society playing pool

they're arguing about intentionality i presume. both unintentional and intentional miscues are technically bad hits, but the former doesn't have to be a foul. it was a goofy shot, but i doubt it was intentional

was grampa a crossdresser?

well sky apparently told hatch he wasn't gonna drink anymore hooch and was ashamed of his showing the other day. he's drinking water only today and was one dry break from reaching the semi against svb

has alex transitioned to pool equipment supplier now? will he continue playing pool?

i think he's still competitive and getting fairly deep. he's no spring chicken tho. around mellings age? lots of young chinese talent coming through now

obviously he's extremely good, he would be a top top player if he played american pool. but that could be said of other players in the chinese game, we saw mi le play in the bali 10b event, and he made the final.

it probably also takes team europe having rookies that struggle, like kazakis and kaci in their first cups

don't think they mention payouts except for the league thing
