JayKidd -- Earlier, we had a report that the final match would be at 19:00 or 19:30 local time. Is the later time you are reporting -- 21:30 -- now official? (Trying not to sleep through it!)

21:30 was wrong, the CCTV website list the program starts at 22:15 local time, there will be a brief introduction before, I would say the live coverage will begin around 22:20. Again, pool has very low priority for CCTV, so be prepared to miss a couple of matches when the live coverage begin. And another ATP program is listed to start at 23:00pm, so you may not be able to see the end of the match either.
The reason I said 21:30 was, according to Joy's website http://www.zs8q.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=127835&extra=page=1, the schedule page lists the final was set to begin at 21:40.
In last 3 days, 19:00 or 19:30 localtime was when the last round usually begin, however there is only one match (the final) left, and the only place you can watch it is CCTV channel 5. So in order to let more people watch it, the final match time is set very late.
CORRECTION:
The match will start at 21:40 as advistised on Joy's website, it will be streamed through the usual 4 websites listed, although the number of camera probably wil be limited. CCTV5 live coverage will start at 22:15, and may stop at 23:00.

OK -- 21:40 local time = 8:40 am USA east coast time. Gotta get some sleep! And Turning Stone starts later today.
By the way -- Potts beat Wang Peng 13-10 for 3rd and 4th. It seemed like Wang conceded after breaking dry in the last game. Both players played pretty well.

That was not a concede, Peng had less than 3 balls passing the headstring , it was the 3rd time he has "illegally" broked in that match, according to Joy's C8B rules, that count as a loss of that rack from the 3rd time on. It is a very harsh punishment, since it force the players to break hard.
Thanks for the clarification. I was aware of the illegal-break rule, but not of the loss of game penalty for the 3rd violation in a match. Pretty harsh!
No, Yang had broken only 5 times in his first 7 wins.
The commentator says that is his 8th consecutive B&R, I missed the first 6 matches, I know the commentator personally, I guess he is right.
I see, he count runs after dry breaks as well. Yang can't possibly have 8 consecutive B&R at this point.

Yes, Yang had 3 B&R's in his last 3 breaks of the Potts match. He now has 7 in a row in this match and 10 in a row in the 2 matches. Score 9-4.
