That's automatically generated by the Youtube computers. Its often wrong.
On YouTube you could turn on closed captions. Yours must of been off. The problem is the CC is done by speech software and sometime is screws up the words. I remember one time they said "Fedor" and it came on the CC as "feather"
I agree and hope CSI/Predator/FargoRate take note and correct this for their future events starting with the next US Pro Billiards Series event starting in a couple of days. The shootout takes way too long, particularly in getting the shots set up. John Leyman is the worst in this respect, really dragging his feet and taking forever almost like it is intentional and he wants the focus on himself instead of the players and wants as much air time as possible. The focus should be on the players, not on the ref taking forever doing everything in slow motion and killing the mood and suspense.
That only happens on the TV table. The refs on the outer tables aren’t quite the diva that John can be. They just stick the ball on the spot and say “your up”.
And the next new accessory is...The "REF Spot Clock".
There were 12 shootouts in the 24 streamed matches at the Arizona Open. Each shootout (except possibly one) was preceded by a commercial break of about 2 minutes. The shootouts themselves (excluding the commercial breaks) averaged about 6.7 minutes per shootout or 43 seconds per shot (a total of 112 shots in those 12 shootouts).
I'm not sure if someone mentioned the issue to him or what his reasons for the change are, but I have to say that John Leyman is doing an excellent job with the modified spot shot shoot outs in the Wisconsin leg of the tournament series that is currently underway. Not only is he not dragging his feet and doing everything in slow motion, it is clear that he is making an effort to move quickly and not waste time and to keep things moving quickly during the shoot outs (his reaction times, and walking and ball cleaning paces, etc, have all increased significantly from past events). Great job in the shoot outs this time around Mr. Leyman!
Through the first 3 days of the Wisconsin event, 9 of the streamed matches have ended in shootouts. The 81 shots on those 9 shootouts have averaged about 44 seconds per shot (ignoring the commercial breaks preceding the shootouts), essentially the same pace as the shootouts in the Arizona Open. [Timing the starting and ending points of a shootout can vary slightly, but I have tried to do it rather consistently.]I'm not sure if someone mentioned the issue to him or what his reasons for the change are, but I have to say that John Leyman is doing an excellent job with the modified spot shot shoot outs in the Wisconsin leg of the tournament series that is currently underway.

I have seen him do a number of shootouts in the past where he was moving very slow, and it appeared to be deliberately so (it was almost as if he was trying to convey an air of thoroughness and professionalism by going slow, and enjoying and milking the limelight, and attempting to draw things out to prolong the anticipation and build drama for the audience, but it didn't do anything but frustrate the viewer). It essentially made those shootouts unwatchable to me, just too much wasted time. I don't recall which event/s they were, but there was no mistaking that he was moving substantially slower than he needed to, much slower than another couple of refs I saw do shootouts, and much slower than he is now. Others noticed it too. This new pace is a good one that is night and day faster and he is doing a good job now in that respect.
