That's the stream right there. for some reason the ustream way was not working so they are doing it off of their facebook page.

Thank you so much! I find it unbelievable that AZ Billiards home page continues to present a link that does not work - do they not monitor/ update their site daily??

Some more chat....

David Low Tell me if the game is so difficult and the pockets are so tight how can you play a shot down the cushion it hits the cushion first and still goes in the pocket. Have you ever watched snooker and seen proper pockets
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, well, David, why don't you just come across the pond and snap off the US Open..
...the pockets are buckets

The original list of 48 players on the americanstraightpool website contains 6 players who are not in the event:

R. Babica
C. Biado
M. Dudanets
...

Dudanets had to renew his three-year visa. With the diplomatic staff reduction in Russia, that has turned into a several-month process. He may get a visa in November, which is a little late for the Virginia tournaments.
