Thx for the response. I bought a stream before and it was not good. Next year, I'll give this a whirl or go to the event. Lived in VB for four years long ago.

This was a world class US-OPEN. The best field of any tournament that SVB has ever won. He might not have a "official" world title yet but this US OPEN win is a world class level win no doubt.
Agreed. Next yr Pat!!
Spot ON!!!!!!!
Not today!

Go Shane! You already won it 4 times and did it 3 years in a row, no one else did that. You came in 2nd in the world 9 Ball the last 2 years. You won the World Pool Masters 2 years in a row!
Your tournament win list is huge. Your always a contender and you are the best 9 and 10 Ball player in the world!
You are also a master of the Bar Box table!
Now go win the US Open 9 Ball a 5th time and tie the Strickland record, then come back next year and win it an unprecedented 6th time!
Think decaf
What do you wanna do for a buck or two?

I would also like to thank all who kept us updated and the play by play was top notch! Congrats to shane, sounded like quite a battle.
I am quite surprised that Shaw couldn't put him away. Shaw has so much firepower that you'd think he'd close anybody out with a 6 game lead. I didn't see the match- did he make a lot of mistakes or did Shane just play out of his mind?
Shaw made some mistakes including a couple missed shots that he'd normally make as well as a handful of tactical errors.
Just today he beat Orcullo, Shaw, and Chang which is nuts. I know he also beat Alex P, Mike Dechaine, Jeremy Jones among others. I'd like to see a full list too. It's an absolute murderer's row.

Some stats on this event can now be found here: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=438461
The stream ran very smooth for me (located in Europe) but it was only 768x432p
it was watchable for sure (difference with the 360p stream of the 14.1 tournament was remarkable)
but I do think in 2016 a 720p stream isn't beyond what one can expect for a ppv. Should
be no problem at all, it's not that much bandwith.

I prob would have had difficulty beating up on any 1 of these guys let alone all 12 of them. :grin::thumbup::grin:
For me the entire US Open stream was worth it in spades just to get to see the last couple of matches - the semi with Shane coming back from 6-0 and to see his emotion come out after snapping the final 9b to win and the classy embrace from opponent Jayson Shaw who, btw, they ran out of adjectives for during this tourney.
And JL Chang who made it through unscathed until the final - how could you not like this guy who, as Mark Wilson so accurately pointed out, thrives on his economy of motion with his shots and position play. Mark added that anyone trying to emulate Chang's fundamentals; their games will be sure to go up.
I don't think I saw Chang miss one shot with his jumper and one shot in particular was especially great where he did a long jump and ended up bumping his way into perfect shape for, I think, the 3 ball with what was probably the best display ever of body english followed with a huge smile. The audience, and I, really loved that shot.
Accu-Stats started weak but finished really strong.
And Shane is a genuine Superhero!! :thumbup:
can't wait til next year. :smile:
best,

For sure, Shane had a tough row to hoe this year, and he survived. It was very inspiring!
The key for me was dumping the html5 player and using Flash. I've always had a lot of trouble with audiovideoweb because I've tried the new player or used it on a Flash-free mobile device, but using their old Flash player I had 0 interruptions. Come on guys, Flash is dead, get that new player working!
