So a question, why are the 2 and 3 ball not being racked in the back corners? I thought that was a standard rule in 10 ball. Or does wpa handle it differently?
Yes, it's him, and if he had any clue how to play 10 ball he could have won the match and could win the tournament. Shoots way too many low % shots, though, and is not used to safety game required'
I couldn't believe Jim Wyche didn't know who he was
He definitely had his opportunities against Filler. Gave away at least two games early on.
Yang seemed to have trouble controlling the cue ball/pace of the table. What surprised me was some of misses albeit not gimme’s. You can’t just wing it off the bat, instinctively his game was thrown off, much like foreign players who play Chinese 8 Ball and struggle. In order to be successful at it, you have to fully commit yourself to that discipline.
That applies to American Pool players, English 8 Ballers, Snooker players, etc. Should be apply himself I’ve no doubt he could become a top competitor but he won’t so he isn’t find any success.

Yes, Yang Fan just fearless and made it look easy in first few racks making shots from everywhere even when off position. Top 2 or 3 in C8B. Didn't fare too well in 9b 10b tournaments that he played in before.
Jim Wyche is bit off about players but again so are many of the commentators. He was also clueless about Siming Chen. Otherwise he's good in the box.
I get feeling these commentators go Larry King route (i.e. minimum prep or research beforehand) rather than Anderson Cooper or Piers Morgan approach
WPA rules call for random racking other than the 1-ball and 10-ball.
I prefer it that way, as it better randomizes the break results.
[But, doing stats, it's easier with the 2- and 3-balls always in the back!]
Shane Thorpe live now.
The video looks great, IMO. Audio is out of sync about a second or two.
Now you can only hear Jim Wych, other guy at half volume...
I like the other guy's voice. But agree, their volumes are not matched.
These predator brand balls look awesome! So glad they are using the traditional colors. I hope the TV ball color fad is over
These other brands are probably eating Aramith's lunch.
Edit: And the numbers are larger also so easier to read on the stream.

yup. must be hard to monitor their output in production...
I wonder why 64 players. Does anyone know for certain?
Even with the same 100k added, if they had 96 or 128 players, they would have still had a full field.
I wonder if it was a space and/or time constraint at the chosen venue that limited the field.
