'Don't Go Broke, Go Woke'
Nobody gives a shit, china included.
Demographics favor this and snooker being the main billiard forms of the next century. Like you I respect the talent but it is very difficult to watch. There is some good content on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok from players and commentators, so it certainly has a huge following. But I wonder if the prize funds are propped up by their government.
None of my local rooms have a table so I have never played the game (other than playing 8 ball on a 10 foot snooker table, which is probably close).
The table concept is excellent for today's demand for the challenge.
Having a culture war staged in the venue of billiards while poisoning the world with fentanyl at will, coupled, with the past US/Dr. Fauci and the National Instituted of Health deliberate COVID 19 "gain of function" at Wuhan, China to control the masses through Big Pharma is beyond the priceless, yet to be determined.
It will be a showing for those internationals warm to the China intended romance to rule by its order.

WTF????? Might want to get your tin-foil hat adjusted. You're picking up shit the rest of us don't get. Calm down, have a large Thorazine smoothie and try to stick to pool.
actually this game is taking a lot of young potential snooker players in china, to the point that snooker isn't growing in china anymore. chinese snooker player ding junhui said this some months ago. it's a worry for the pro snooker tour.
to my knowledge prize money isn't propped up by others than sponsors and advertisements. last time i watched it was iphone, burger king and some other big time corp in the ads. when they started the chinese 8-ball thing it was just billiard industry sponsors (and prize money wasn't anywhere near this). the chinese are tv-sport consumers, watching sports live has never been big there. so the lesson is, tap into anything that a percentage of the chinese would like to watch -> make money. snooker did this and prize money hiked up a lot.
it's my understanding that there are two outfits competing for players and viewers and that's why one of them chose the silly name "heyball". i might watch this if chris melling participates.
Thanks for the background. Do you know what the other outfit calls itself or the game? I've never been able to identify the pinyin name for what we call Chinese 8 ball.
I don’t think it’ll fly over there either….it might be a Joy promotion but I see no joy in an audience…it has the atmosphere of 9-ball in Qatar.

Been meaning to give Chinese 8 ball a shot. Just discovered that there’s a room near me in downtown Boston with four tables. For an amazing demonstration of skill on one of these tables check out Gareth Potts running an 8 pack of 9-ball:
Kinda like the majority of your post's

My local room has these tables in Sydney, Australia.
They are tough to play on, but if you want to improve potting accuracy then worth a go.
The prize money in these events has been significant.
Obviously it is a push to be bigger than any other cuesport.
I don't think it will go mainstream globally though.

Your real enemies are far closer to home.
