English commentary would be nice.

Two points for cushion-first is just strange.

It appears the sets are to 10 but win by 2 or maybe that's just in the final set. That means it is not possible to have a run longer than 11 unless the final point is scored on a cushion-first shot.

The two-point rule also means that scoring averages can't be properly compared to the rest of the world.

I was surprised to see a Søren Søgaard table. I would have figured that a Korean company (Min?) would have taken the sponsorship.

There are several other different things about this tournament , they said the lag was up down and up again

A break from the normal stiffness of tradition


Its nice to see a table thats good looking and not solid black for a change

Soren sogaard will be the table used in this yrs world Championship as well

Haven't done it recently, but I I get a medium sized spot and play sets with the local Koreans.

Can't tell you how many times that two point kick has gobbled up my lead and lit me on the losing end.

Those guys go rail first from some crazy places and while I have learned some good shots, I am usually wondering wtf just happened and bothered that I can't rewind the tape.

Maybe it's because I'm so used to seeing them in at least dress pants, shoes and polos but their outfits threw me off.
