Good timing.

China just had 40 million viewers watch Wu Yize upset a ranking player in the second round of the Qualifiers of The Snooker world Championship. Expect 60 million minimum for his next match...a crazy frenzy on the Chinese sports network.

All cue sports benefits as people get more involved in the Sport...be in 10 ball, Chinese 8 ball, etc. The ideological border between Taiwan and the Mainland breaks down once Chinese sports figures start winning.

I don't think that is possible. Taiwan's relationship with mainland China is more stressed than any other nation with mainland China, IMO.

So, it looks like J.L. Chang beat Yang 11-9. Yang was up 7-4 and shooting the 7 ball, and after the ref cleaned the cueball they called a shot clock violation on Yang?

Is that what happened?

Yeah, it was bizarre, because the referee took up almost all of the shot clock cleaning the cueball.

Ko beats Y.L. Chang 11-1.

Yes, Game 12 was quite crazy. It had gone on for 17 or 18 minutes before the clock-violation discussion. Yang had fouled 3 times (intentionally once) and Chang had missed 3 shots. And, critically as it turned out, Yang had used his clock extension.

After Chang missed the 5 ball (his 3rd miss), Yang began running out. He made the 5-ball and the 6-ball and immediately asked for the cb to be cleaned. The ref took all but 1 second of the 40-sec shot clock to lift, clean, and replace the cb. When Yang got down to shoot, Chang pointed out something to the ref, presumably that Yang had already used his extension. After an 8-minute discussion that seemed to involve quite a few people, Chang was awarded ball in hand and ran out.

So, apparently, the time the ref takes to clean the cb must be included in the shot-clock time (not an unusual rule). But, geesh, she didn't even get the cb off the table until about 28 seconds had passed, and essentially used the full 40 seconds.

I don't have a problem with that given how many players seem to use ball cleaning as a de facto free extension.

It was impossible for Yang to shoot before the shot clock ran out, but that was because of the ref, not because of him.

Correct. Perhaps the ref wasn't remembering that Yang had already used his extension, and, therefore, she wasn't hurrying. It looked like it was Chang who made her aware of it.

Agreed. Ball cleaning has become a joke. I'd limit ball cleaning to once per player per match.
