can you actually see the matches well?

Yeah fairly well. They do sometimes go to one camera on a particular table at time. Sometimes, when I was interested in what was going on on the other table not shown. But overall, the video quality is pretty good with the split screen. It can be a bit much if I'm trying to pay attention to both at the same time :)...

If memory serves me correctly, the Old vs New was BigTruck (Ray Hansen)'s idea. But I could be wrong.

If you're right, that's a hell of a way to say thank you. Having old&new on same weekend as Bigtrucks 50K fight nights. Johnnyt

Yeah the level of play has been pretty high in this event. Some really good shotmaking. Also the matches have been fairly exciting. Stream quality is good. Only small nitpicky thing is the mics pick up the commentary well, but they're also picking up annoying background noise. It makes it sounds like there is music in the background being played under water. I just ignore it though and focus on the great pool.

Bergman def Morris 9-6. Rodney didn't play well at all. He looks really tired.

Young Guns up 7-6

I am loving this type of format... actually watching it to be exact. The matches have been really close and would like to see more of this only if oncue2 can tighten up their production. The thing that drove me crazy was the wide angle camera of both tables. For example, in the scotch doubles match it was 9-9 and when they broke, the camera was never switched back to the table.

Another cool idea I had was taking the popcorn league idea of playing three disciplines by random draw. That would make things really exciting.

And yes, please god fix the mics....

You get a lot of pool for you buck, but this is a lengthy format even for a hardcore pool fam such as myself. It's after 1 am and there is at least one and possibly two more sets in addition to the one thst just started.

Did anyone else buy the Saturday only pass and get kicked out of the live stream right at midnight? The match is tied up at 8-8 and I no longer have access to watch the final set...

Edit: It appears to have been fixed!

Made my day

Finally in all these years got to watch some of the best champions that play the game in person.
Learned a lot by studying their fundamentals and how struck the cue ball.

The opportunity came up to get their autographs so I jumped on it.

Thanks to Teachers for putting on such a great event.

I bought the pass and watched some good pool, but please if they do this kind of thing again schedule it so that it doesn't end at 4 AM. Maybe use a shot clock too.

Agreed - I tapped out after the first 10ball matches. I wish I could have seen the ending, but it was around 2 AM eastern and I couldn't stay awake :(.

I really liked the format of this event. I hope they put something like this on again.
