2022 DCC Discussion Thread

Who's up for today? When does stream start? I think I will buy today if its the finals of one hole. Is Efren still in?

I just got back from DCC yesterday. I was there at the invite of 60 Minutes for a piece they are doing on professional pool.

Too give you some background this has been in the works for three years. The same man who wrote the Kid Delicious book "Running The Table" is now a correspondent for 60 Minutes. His name is Jon Wertheim. He contacted me over three years ago and we began a discussion about doing something with pool. It got put on hold until about three months ago when Jon contacted me and said they were ready to go. Over the next couple of months I was in contact with the producers of the show and we decided that DCC was the best place to meet some of the games top players and see them in action.

I arrived on Friday, Day Two and they came in from New York on Saturday, Day Three. We only had two days to film (Sunday and Monday). I had put them in contact with several players in advance (Shane, Jayson, Alex, Filler and Gorst) and they planned to focus on them at DCC. I was there primarily to introduce them to other players, key people like Pat Fleming, and gain access to different areas where they were interested in filming. Also they needed me to explain how things worked and other details like that.

Things went well and they got many hours of tape to review. I will be going to New York next month for final tapings. There are no air dates yet but will keep you informed.

The gist of this piece about pool is the state of professional pool today and the ability of pro players to make a living. As we all know, pool is a sport that is mostly unknown by the general public. 60 Minutes plans to make more people aware that there are a series of professional tournaments where players can earn money. And get to know who some of the game's stars are. I am glad to be a part of this project.

Wow, thanks for sharing Jay!

I may be remembering wrong... did 60 minutes do some coverage of Fats and crew getting arrested at one of the old events in the 60's/70's? Maybe there was possibly a video?

Are there any Matchroom references by the commentators?

I just lost stream (like, it's not an option to stream the match anymore) - strange.

Also, I have it on mute because I'm taking calls in the background for work lol. Don't rat me out.

Edit: Onsite seems to be down at the moment. Not "buffering" down but "page won't refresh" down.

No, but they did do a piece on UJ Puckett over 30 years ago. Harry Reasoner was the reporter on that one. The producers I met went back and found it in their archives.

What a horrible job AS does-especially considering they have 15+ years of experience. We need Elon Musk to takeover AS.

I'm not sure AS is Onsite. I get that AS is the face of it - but I thought Onsite was a contractor and that this isn't an in house job. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.
 
Looks like they have finally posted the next round of 1P.
