I think that's your local air time ... my DAZN says it starts at 2 pm & I'm EST
CSI's release indicated 5pm Est, there's a thread and I cant attach the link etc.
Cheers,
Are you talking about the MC or Team CSI vs. Team USA??
My bad, yes I was referring to the CSI match and not realising I was replying to a MC question.
CSI match is on my mind
Cheers,
i doubt the team would refuse your money were you to offer it.. give it a try
but i think the point of many posts here is that getting DAZN, or in my case Sky sports, supports the mosconi cup as a whole, and not just ones preferred team
Can you clarify? If I buy an DAZN subscription (it's actually about $12.00 a month here in Germany) the Mosconi Cup recordings will be up for time-shifted viewing?
If so, how long does it take them to get the recordings up on DAZN?
With the US Open, I think the recordings were up pretty quickly after the match was over.
I just found out from a buddy that DAZN here in Germany has German-only commentary, and even that sucks. Is there a DAZN package available for US customers?
Even a US package might not work here, because that sort of stuff often gets blocked in country.

It's live on DAZN, so there's no waiting for a recording to be published. You can join in late and rewind the stream, and they're left on there afterwards (for how long, I don't know).
edit - just checked DAZN, and it looks like events are left online for about a week .. I still have the Northern Ireland snooker from last Thursday & Friday available to re-watch, but the Champion of Champions from a few weeks ago is now gone.

It has always started about 11AM local time when it is in Las Vegas. That puts it in the evening (7PM-8PM) in Europe which is the primary viewer market. If you are in Las Vegas watching in person the good news is that your entire evening is free. The bad news is that you have to get up by 10AM.
As far as the free Facebook in some regions, I suspect that is because Matchroom tried to find commercial partners like DAZN or Sky Sports in those regions but could not. The Facebook stream allows them to develop fans in those areas which may lead to commercialization.
The problem with a global free live stream is that there is no sponsorship money because global ads generally don't work. The broadcast has to be tailored to the region by inserting ads during the commercial breaks (which happen at the end of each odd rack), or it has to be on some kind of subscription service.
You spelled "cash in on" wrong.
Here's a clue. If Matchroom doesn't make money off the Mosconi Cup, there will BE no Mosconi Cup. If having to pay for a pool stream affects your income that much, you probably made horrible financial decisions in your life. I have been accused of not suffering fools lightly, and I gotta admit, I am struggling a bit here reading some of your comments.
Yeah, that's it. I'm poor. You fail at reading.
I'm just fine and will retire in a couple years at age 50ish, so get bent.
I JUST SAID I would donate to help the team train for the match you reading-comprehension impaired …
I don't get charged to watch the Davis Cup.
I don't get charged to watch the Olympics.
If you actually want to grow pool interest you don't charge the small core base to watch the match.
Please put me on ignore, I'm tired of your crap.
Might be a blessing in disguise. Turn on some Tom petty and put on y'alls wife beater and set ya down ta watchin. Yip yipeee.
USA! USA!!
I will be watching on cricfree.com
They usually have sky sports channels.

Three days of live pool isn't worth 20bux??
I watch soccer and football on there and if they have skysports for free and I can watch the Mosconi cup for free than no, I will not be buying a dazn subscription that I dont want.
Why would anyone do that?
Convenient, free, seems like the obvious choice to me.
Tennis has a huge international fan base that has so many more fans than pool, that the millions of eyes on any broadcast commands very high advertising rates, and more than makes up for any filming costs.
The Olympics has a huge international fan base that has so many more fans than pool, that the millions of eyes on any broadcast commands very high advertising rates, and more than makes up for any filming costs.
Pool gets MAYBE 2000 concurrent viewers on free streams, which we get on events like the world 9 ball championships, which are hosted by Qatar ONLY for the purposes of attempting to give their Islamic leadership some validity on the world stage. Or on BCA/APA-sponsored events that are basically online advertisements for the league in question. Anyone attempting to do a for-profit broadcast of pool content better be prepared to pony up some cash to pay the networks to broadcast it, and then attempt to recoup their op front costs via PPV/merchandising, etc.
If you got all the ideas on how Matchroom can "totally broadcast for free and make a profit in the SPECIFIC market conditions pool must operate under, that are totally different than tennis and the Olympics", then I HIGHLY suggest you give Barry Hearns a ring and tell him your ideas, so he can get away from the bad ideas that have made the Mosconi Cup successful heretofore.
Good move Matchroom getting into DAZN programming . Matchroom recently signed $1 billion boxing deal with DAZN to provide boxing programming.
DAZN (owned by UK richest man) is aggressively positioning itself to be Netflix of sports . Maybe that will mean more more pool programming , more pool money more pool tourneys.
