2023 International Open Bigfoot 10-Ball Challenge

Wow, that's a strong field!

I put Morra and Mario as the weakest. I put Shane, Filler, Gorst as the strongest.
 
DAY 2
Race to 10 Single Elimination

11am EST Match is Alex Pagulayan VS Joshua Filler (Last 16)

1:15pm EST Match is Mario He VS Konrad Juszczyszyn (Last 16)

3:30pm EST Match is Fedor Gorst VS Lee Vann Corteza (Last 16)

7:30pm EST Match is Shane VanBoening VS Roland Garcia (Quarterfinal)

9:45pm EST Match is Jayson Shaw VS Chang Jung Lin (Quarterfinal)
 
so to reach the finals, some guys will play 3 matches tomorrow and some just 2?

or will they complete the quarters late tonight?
 
Shane and Garcia just played the best match of the tournament (so far), with Shane pulling it out hill-hill after Garcia scratched while making a tough 2 ball. Chang and Shaw up next.

Sigel is fast becoming one of my favorite commentators.

Gorst, Yapp, Juszczyszyn, and Filler have all played just once through the first 2 days. If one of them wins the event, he will have played 3 matches on Wednesday. That was true last year for Gorst.

Is Sigel commentating? That's great to hear. And it should not surprise anyone if you end up liking him as a commentator, I remember watching some old tapes with him in the comms and he was great. The guy knows the game and knows how to convey it for the viewing audience.

Upstate Al did a tour of the International Pool Championship venue, and it was really, really cool. It showed some vendors. Tracy Joe was in the house as well as Joe Blackburn the cue mechanic, among many. Kevin Hart's brother, Robert, was in the stands with a pretty lady, and Mark Wilson and Marty Hermann were also milling about. Mike and Vicki Capone's son was there watching the Capone Cue vendor booth, and Mike Sigel's son was also making the rounds.

What was amusing, at least to me, was Mike Sigel walked up to Mario He, who was playing/practicing on a table with Conrad from Poland, and Mike asked him his name, and Mario replied, and then Mike asked him what country he's from. I'm thinking to myself, man, I know more about these international players than Mike Sigel. But, in all fairness, he was gathering information before he had to commentate matches, which shows his professionalism.

I've always enjoyed Kimmer in the booth. He and Mike are good choices.

If you get a chance to see the video, check it out.
