I would love to see that.
They’re betting on it in the Action Forum
....but even the venue in Louisville is unknown.
Yeah, and poolclub.live is a maze to navigate, and one doesn't know what they are signing up for when they get the "free" account, there is no advertised price for this stream on the front page, etc.
It is really irritating when fly-by-night joints get the go ahead to stream a big action match like this. Makes me appreciate Ray Hansen a whol lot more..
In other words, learn what the fook you are doing as a streaming provider, i.e. marketing, web site ease of use, etc., before you lock down some big action match. Both Big Truck and The Action Report knew what they were doing, and people watch/watched their stuff.
I mean, jaysus christ.. Lookit this "explanation", of how to view content on their site. As far as I can tell, there is no way to just buy the stream, you have to sign up for a monthly subscription of some sort. And to figure out if it is a mandatory recurring charge or not, you have to first create an account, then read this fookin' gobbledeegook. If I am coming across a little bit salty, it's because there are two pretty cool streams in the next few days (14.1 Dragon Productions and this action match), and they are overly burdensome to access because of the inexperience of those in charge. I think in the particular case of poolclub.live, there was somebody on Facebook last year or so fanning the flames of the 3 or 4 players like SHane Winters complaining that they don't make $1,000.00 or some crap off each of their streamed barbox 9 ball matches, and then he starte dup this site... But he don't know what dee fook he is doing.

Yeah. Too bad hardly anyone will watch it because of the points I made above.
I was on the Pool Club Louisville facebook page last night, and they were live on there streaming a Bergman vs Louis Demarco with Demarco getting the breaks and the 7. They were about even when I went to bed, but it was early in the set. Not sure how it came out. I'm not sure if the Oscar match will be on the facebook live stream or not.
I find it crazy that a potential Mosconi Cup member needs 2 on the wire against a guy not being considered for the team...
I play at the club where they are going to play. The tables are 9 footer Diamonds from the DCC. The corner pockets have been tightened up quite a bit. The tables play tuff but honest. It should be quite a match to watch.
BTW the location is in Southern IN. Not far from the DCC. I suspect there will be some action in there around January when the tournament is in town.

They are playing a completely different game one is nine ball and the other is 10 ball.
I don't believe Oscar thinks he needs two games going to 25 but that is what was negotiated and he is smart enough to take the spot. There is a very high probability that the spot will only come into play in the players minds. I know I have been involved in some sets where I was spotting someone and I am thinking this guys plays just as good as me and it gets in your head. Kind of like getting the last two, if you don't think you can beat the guy without that spot it isn't enough.
Gambling matches have very little to do with how someone would perform at the Mosconi cup. No one on the European team will gamble with Shane but a lot of them have beaten him in the race to five.
Certainly Justin plays good enough to be on the Mosconi team, I am not sure why he isn't on the team. It could be he doesn't want to travel all over the world to play in an event that is just setup for TV with races to five.
they say the table has 4 1/4" POCKETS.
ANYONE SORT OUT A STREAM LINK YET AND START TIME?
SORry about the caps...
Subscribed if someone finds a working link/time.
I am not signing up with that shady-arse poolclub.live.
If that's the only way to view it, I won't be viewing it.

Oh, and if anyone gets to wondering too much about who is the one responsible for locking this action match behind a recurring monthly membership paywall, it is Zach Goldsmith. A lot of you have him as a friend on Facebook. He set up all the streaming sites associated with this.
Basically, he is locking streaming content up behind paywalls and to get access to it, you HAVE to be a monthly member at whatever the cost is. So, from what I can gather, the players in question get 80% of the proceeds of a monthly membership if someone buys that monthly membership through one of the streamed matches of that particular player.
Now, I totally understand the idea behind monthly memberships as a means of revenue generation of streaming content that one has recorded... But Zach is proposing that he is giving 80% of the profits back to the players, because, reasons?
It just doesn't sound legit, in any way, shape, or form. The costs to travel and stream are very high, and to say you are willingly giving up 80% of what you make, because "trust me, I will totally pay"?
Color me skeptic.

Same here. A one time fee of $12 to watch is one thing, but $12 PER MONTH. F that.

I agree that price per month is a scam. Supposedly they were giving 80% of the proceeds to the players, I am sure they are not getting any of the ongoing revenue.
