I'm hoping that someday, some geek will invent an app that can translate to the language to your liking. Imagine them speaking Arabic, while us getting the feed in English or Russian, that would be awesome Jay!

I think they have such a system at the United Nations, so all the representatives can understand the speaker.

What does he do, Jay?

Yeah that is something I would like to know. I have watched alot of video of FPC and have never noticed him doing anything that would constitute an intentional shark.

Is there any example of a Chou shark on video?

Thanks for the link.

He sharks three people in three days or are they just whining because they lost to him.

Did some other player comment on sharking by him at this worlds? That link was from an earlier tournament in Cardiff. I don't think Ortmann or Younger are even in the World 9-ball this year.

The so called "sharking" is fairly suspect there. In one case he got a phonecall, which should definately not happen and he should have his phone off, but it was also near the end of a 11-1 defeat and I am going to guess it was not a move at that point.

The other "shark" was that Chao moved his head while Ortmann was shooting. If you are sitting in your assigned chair and a player is shooting in your direction you should attempt to stay still as possible but lets get real, moving ones head? I tried to find a video of this on youtube but failed, I wonder how much of a head move this was.

Thanks Celtic. I didn't pay attention to the other link and didn't realize it was from an earlier tournament..
 
this is funny

it's nice to see to community come together to help inform fellow member, so thanks for the efforts to the score updaters.

but it's kind of funny how the stream link in totally in another language, I guess you can't say he never gave you the link. :rolleyes:

I would of like to see SVB do better as I feel he puts in the most time (of the americans IMO) but was pulling for Ralf the whole time.
 
the commentator is a friend of mine, which I will speak to soon about this personally, they aren't allowed to speak in English due to the television airs in the arab region as it was intended to, I watch it on my TV, not on the stream, and thats why in our area its meant for the arab audience, but believe me I will encourage that they make an english commentary specially for the online stream if it is at all possible, but here's the thing I understand the commentary and believe me you don't want to hear it, with their commentary they are reaching or speaking to the very low/new level of audience to pool, most of the time they are talking about rules, why is he shooting the 2 ball, and not the 3 ball, and that he's shooting the 2 because its a rotation game going from 1 to 9 and if he shot the 3 its a foul, then explain what is a foul and what a player can do with a foul = ball in hand, then what is ball in hand. and that about why did he push out, or what is push out, or why is it a foul and not a legal shot, basically the rules, they aren't speaking about the situation at all whatsoever, they aren't giving the options of a player in a certain delimma and what he can and can't do, and if he does option A he'd be better for the ball, or the shot will be harder and what can happen if he shoot this shot or go 2 rail instead of 3 rails, you get my point, basicaly its nothing like accu-stats commentary, or billy incardona or grady mathews RIP.

as I said its boring for a good player who wants to learn more, they reaching out for people who know nothing about pool is what I'm trying to say, even tho I understand it, sometimes I just mute it, honestly, just so you guys don't feel bad about not understanding the commentary because even if you do, you'd mute it :)

have fun.

Just found that stream is On! :D
 
Seems next on stream is Omar Al-Shahen vs Lee He Wen

Interesting match but was hoping for Orcollo-Van De Berg. They preferred the local guy
