2025 Reyes Cup, Oct 16-19, Manilla. Team Asia vs Team World

Congrats matchroom, you have turned what should be the absolutely most exciting pool tournament to ever be witnessed and made it so boring and one sided that not even Filipinos will show up to watch it in their own country. That is an unparalleled accomplishment.

Get rid of these gaff pockets, stop putting players and coaches on the ROW team that have no business being there, and stop punishing European players like Filler. And while you are at it, quit using 60's cosplay cartoon characters for the between-matches entertainment.

It is one-sided but I wouldn't say boring. I am quite entertained watching the beat down.

Emily's comment "he's definitely a future world champion" (need it even be said that in her eyes, the World 9ball is the only world championship) seems a bit ridiculous to me.

They just showed another view of the shirt foul. I didn't see it move, but hard to say for sure. I'm sure there will be a ton of frame by frame closeups on youtube:)

I believe in a shirt foul, the ball doesn't have to move, even if the shirt makes contact it is still a foul.

Dr. Dave is cookin' up as we speak.

Ah yes, I think you are correct. In WPA rules anyway.

I vaguely recall members advocating years ago a touch not to be a foul, unless the ball moved.

I have to question whether Filipinos actually do show up at big pool matches in large crowds. Maybe they did in the past, but now?

In any case, Matchroom could not foresee that everyone on Team ROW would get a case of the yips at the same time. I mean Fedor, with a shirt foul?

AJ Manas has now been part of five winning points. Chua has been the best player on Team Asia, but Manas might just end up winning MVP.
