2007 Amway Women's World 9-Ball Championships

Thanks John for your reports, but can you also give us Filipinos score updates on the match of Bingkay Amit`s game?
 
Jasmin Oushan vs. Wendy Jans Game 6

Jasmin breaking. Makes the corner ball and the cueball gets bumped up table. The shot on the one is partially blocked by the six. A trick situation as there is no good push and the safety is tough to control.

The 3 is blocked by the 8. Jasmin plays to stop the cueball behind the six but the one rolls to far uptable and leaves Wendy a reverse cut to the corner. Wendy makes it but almost scratches. She can see the 3 but with nothing but a bank facing her. She tries a two way bank or safe and leaves Jasmin a long thin cut. We have seen these shots going with regularity on the soft pockets and this is no exception as Jasmin slices it in. She ends up without a shot on the four which she plays safe. Wendy can see only the edge of the 4 though and elects to kick. She gets a full hit and almost kicks the four in.

Jasmin is left with a routine out. She comes up a little short on the six but is in great shape as she stun stops it to get in line for the 7. A tad high on the 9 but nothing but net and it's tied at 3:3.
 
Jasmin Oushan vs. Wendy Jans Game 7

Jasmin breaking. 3:3

Yesterday Wendy Jans beat Jasmin to advance in the group rounds. Now as luck of the draw would have it two of the four remaining Europeans have to play each other in the final rounds.

Jasmin breaks dry but leaves Wendy with no prize as she was forced to use the bridge to shot rail first on the hanging one ball. She ended up hooked on the 2 and although she hit it on the kick shot she left and easy 2 for Jasmin.

Jasmin has an easy out from here. Comes up a little short on the 7 and has to work a little harder than she needed to but it's no problem for the player ranked number on the WPA World Rankings. 4:3 Ouschan.
 
Jasmin Oushan vs. Wendy Jans Game 9.

Jasmin breaks. - Sorry I was lost in conversation for a moment - we skip ahead to game 9,. Jasmin is up 5:3

Jasmin is looking at a table length 3 with no pocket. She attempts a safety and gets a fortunate roll not to sell out.

Wendy slices in a tough 3 and caroms the 9 in!!!!!!

5:4
 
Jasmin Oushan vs. Wendy Jans Game 10

Wendy breaks soft and makes the corner ball. She has an open 1 but no shot. Wendy locks up the cueball and Jasmin fires right back with a great two rail kick shot. Wendy moves the 1 back uptable and Jasmin can see it. Jasmin tries to play safe but sells out the 1 in the side. The path to the 3 is a little tight and I don't think she go there - yes she did. Not to much problem now. Wendy landed a little funny on the five but no problem on the out and it's tied up at 5:5.

A race to 2 from here.

thank god the sport is taking off in Asia

live pool, what a concept
 
Jasmin Oushan vs. Wendy Jans Game 12

Wendy to break.

I don't know why they don't switch back and forth. I found out that they don't do it because they don't want to make the viewer feel they are missin out.

Wendy scratches on the break!

Jasmin is facing an open table. She gets out of line on the 2 to go to the 3.

The score between Rubilen Amit and Diana Stateczny is 4:4.

Jasmin was forced to take a tougher leve on the three and as a result had to force position on the 3. As a result she had to cheat the pocket to get position on the 5 and almost got hooked. Jasmin has hung the 7! Wendy is clearing up for the win.

Wendy Wins!

and they can recap the rack immediately after showing all the shots and just the shots. Why does ESPN need 40hours in the editing room to show anything?
 
The Ouschan:Jans match was strange to watch.

At first it was 3:0 Jans, the 5:3 Ouschan, then 7:5 Jans. It wasn't break and run "packs" but just swings in the rolls and mistakes. Jasmin shot really sloppy position on the 7 in the last game and left Wendy a pretty easy runout.

I got stuck at 5:5 - any updates on results for Rubilen?

edit: Rubilen Amit just won 7-6.

edit 2: Just saw the Taiwanese clothmaker YTT as one of the sponsors. We used the same playing cloth for the Philippine National Championships. Rubilen Amit knows the fast surface pretty well, as do the Japanese and Taiwanese. It may count somewhat for Asian success here.

On the other table it's Sung-Hyun Jung from Korea vs. Hsiang Lin Tan from Taipei.

Tan looks like Fong Pong Chao's brother and Sung looks like a young male bank clerk. Sung is dressed very smartly in her vest and dress shirt. I don't have OMGWTF's sense of humor when it comes to fashion but she'd have a good time with these two.

Tan leads 4:2 Sung closes to 3:4 with a routine runout.
 
Live coverage by me?

I can only give live coverage by sitting in the press room and watching the match on tv. It's the only place I have internet access. So when I am in here I will cover the match. When I go out to the arena I try to write a match report.
 
Sung vs. Tan

Sung breaks and has a pretty open layout. She is running out without problem but did bobble the five before it went down trying to cheat the pocket for better position. No problem it's a tie game at 4:4
