If most of the world is playing some form of 8 ball.

C8B, E8B, and IIRC is it not the case that 8B is the most popular format in the USA?

How come the major events at this discipline in AP are not more popular?

I think you are dead right.

I'm not sure how much your AP players, like Shane, actually play 8 ball on a day to day basis but the likes of Appleton, Shaw, Potts and to a degree Selby have been brought up on it and can see patterns instantly.

Shane is a great 8 ball player but not on these tables. These tables take away a great number of options.

Alex Pagulayan looks very impressive today. He was down 6-4 but now leads 11-8 with a few nice runouts.
 
Agreed, but the guy he is playing shoots damn straight aswell.
I have only seen him make one ball on the break when he finally decided
to just slam them. Alex made a ball much more often. The other guy was
out-shooting him though imo.

Corey lost that match cause there is a match clock in play as well, who ever is leading by then would automatically be awarded with the win.

I get that but he played a shot that did not look like a "time penalty" and lost his turn. What it looked like was he didn't call the ball and the ref said hey you didn't call that, cause it took like 5 minutes for them to clear it up and decided on what to do. The match continued after that, it's the incident that i'm curious about

He failed to call a carom shot and lost his turn.

Anyone know the size of the tables they are playing on and ball sizes? I was in Ireland this last summer and played on tables that looked similar to these, but I believe they were only 6' instead of the 7' bar boxes we have here. It was like playing on a mini snooker table, but maybe even tougher. The balls were very small as well. Running a table was about as tough as putting a 5 pack on a bar box.....I didn't run out once from the break. It's just such a different game, that getting the right angle is paramount and balls on the rail are near impossible to make, at least with any speed at all.

Sounds like you played on an English Pool table, they come in 6 or 7 foot (very very very occasionally 8 foot) and resemble a mini snooker table.

Presumably the balls were all 2 inch red/blue/green and yellow with a 1.875 inch cue ball?

Yes, I believe so. The tables were also very slow even on what looked like fairly new cloth at one place I was at. How different are these tables that they are playing on? They look bigger for starters, like 8 or 9 foot?

The Chinese 8-Ball tables are 4½' x 9' (50" x 100" playing surface) and the balls are regular pool-sized balls at 2 1/4" diameter.
