Austrian open predator tour live

Filler lost 5-11 to Ugur Turku, also from Germany, in the single-elimination round of 32 players. I'm not at all familiar with Turku.

low 700's player. apparently filler played quite poorly this tournament and may have been under the weather, according to the youtube chat.
 
I watched some but the breaking rules are stupid. Each player breaks twice in a row no matter who wins. Who comes up with this crap?

For who? It sucks as a viewer imo as it's too confusing especially if you join mid match. Why do they keep trying to reinvent the wheel? Winner breaks or alternate break is fine. What's the point of this?

The Sanjin and Lechner match was 9-9 and Lechner never saw the table again going to 11. If its winner breaks that's fine but this double alternate break is just plain stupid.

1 on the spot
9 on the spot
Break from the box
Don’t break from the box
Make the box smaller
3 points rule
No 3 points rule
What about the rules of 9ball? These are not the original rules, this is Texas Express
Why indeed are they trying to reinvent the wheel?
What’s the point?
I don’t know, maybe to make it harder, or easier or just more entertaining.
Statistics show that winner breaks or alternate breaks don’t matter, so maybe trying something new.
At least they didn’t use the Black balls set…

I hear what you're saying but this break twice then alternate is beyond dumb imo. I just don't get it. There is no need to add another option to your list. Let’s confuse new viewers even more as the game continues to grow.

In the past Eurotours were played with 3 consecutive breaks for each player. You never know whether it is good or bad until you try (or at the very least give it a considerable thought).

I suppose they took this practice from table tennis. Nowadays each player serves twice in a row, no matter who won the point. (Note it used to be 5 serves in a row for each player years ago.)

I’m still trying to understand how this is better than alternate break? Makes no sense to me as a player or a fan.
