she won. what's the 1st prize?

as much as i would like to see these chinese top players (and dennis) back playing 9-ball, it makes perfect sense for them to pursue this low expense high reward game in their backyard

FOUR hours of that water torture??? My boredometer pegged after about 10minutes. I keep giving this game a chance and i must say its consistent in its ability to put me to sleep.

Three and a half. But the games only took 7 minutes each on average, including commercials.

I thought heyball had a game clock. I guess they don't use that or a shot clock in major events. EDIT: The ref operates a shot clock, but there doesn't seem to be a displayed time.

One ball off is a large spot in that game. Is it always the last OB or can the player choose to drop a ball earlier?

Now I see the ref is operating a beeper thingie which beeps just as the balls stop rolling. No display, though, that I could see. The ref seems to give a warning at 35 and sometimes starts a verbal countdown.
