Besides the spectacular pageantry and the fact that I truly enjoyed the show, this is what I saw:
Big pockets (as compared to our shrinking pockets with deep shelves)
Short races (as compared to race to 11 or 50 or 100)
Alternate-breaks (as compared to winner-breaks)
Slower cloth for easier cue-ball control (like 20 years ago)
Less lively rails for easier banking and cue-ball control (like 20 years ago)
No Ten-Ball (call nothing!)
All of the above are against conventional wisdom here in the states.
