the tv table has a shot clock. i saw morra was scheduled for the tv table so good thing they have the shot clock
They put Kaci on tv table. He spent (what seemed like ) 30 minutes on the shot after the break to finally do a push and get it back. I watch it on you tube now with a 5 minute delay so I can fast forward
 
have to go on WNT site and register to get scoring. or wait til someone here posts them. ;)
I know you made your position clear, and I felt the same way initially. But honest to the devil, the site is super good. By far the best MR has ever had. It's worth it to follow the action. Zero spam (so far).
 
Did you guys see the pool ball pillows on the opening seremony? They had the "real" pool colors! The 5, AND the 4.

Can I ask something, how can Hunter Lombardo afford to fly & go to almost 90% of world events and he's been doing it since the late 90s I believe! The reason I ask this is because he almost never get in the last stages of big tournament which means he barely make any money. In other words I feel that he spends more than he get paid from those tournaments.

I'm very curious to know how he manages to do that, did he like receive a big inheritance or something that allows him to just enjoy life & not work just to pursue his passion for pool & keep on playing on every tournament that ever exist and still not win anything lol. Don't get me wrong I love his persistant but playing for as many tournamnets as he did you gotta at least get in the roll & win some big event, it boggles my mind that he didn't. Because I firmly believe in pool there will be one or two tournaments where all rolls will be good for you & at that time you'll win it. But that guy oh man he maybe won one turning stone which I remember...

But man how can he afford the travel/hotel rooms/entry etc & around the globe too, I saw him once in China open but he never even finishes high, but the guy isn't a quitter thats for sure so hats off to him.

It's to keep his Fargorate low.
 
I often wonder about Hunter too. I thinks he’s only a 739 Fargo? Makes you wonder.
is 739 trying to keep it low? I know some players who try to keep under 700, for when they travel to US for Fargo-capped tourneys. But what purpose would keeping it 'low' but above 700 serve?

He does make some prize money -- see below. I believe he is an instructor.

..that bean bag set-up sure brings a nine-ball tournament production into focus, yet, something just doesn't look right.
