CueLee's Connecticut 9-Ball Open @ US1 Billiards, Sep 22+23

Raga’s style of play seems all over the place but he beat Shaw 10-5.

On the same stream, they changed tables and Billy Thorpe is on some kind of package run in his match against Chang Yu Lung.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again -- Matchroom is going to have to stay a step ahead of the players in regards to the break. You can already see many of them, SVB included, are getting it dialed in perfectly.

SVB ended with a 6-pack. Lee Van got to the table for a brief safety battle in rack 3, then got one swerve shot he didn't quite make in rack 4. So three shots total, 0 balls pocketed.

Agreed. Watching these matches it's clear the same break that all but guarantees the 1 in the side also sends the cueball back toward the 9 for a freeroll on the game. If that's what they want (quicker sets, more opportunities for the ever-exciting "golden break") then fine...but if not they'll need to make changes. Something tells me they like it just fine, though.

Neuhausen just did this for a golden break!
 
I've popped in now and again this afternoon, without using the audio. did they stop the split screen, or did I mess it up on my end?

Considering who he has been playing, that must be like 870 FargoRate range.

I think Fargo is designed so a 3:1 advantage is a 160-point difference. He's not quite at 3:1 so call it 140-150. That puts him 920+ given his opponents.

I am as excited by his potential as anyone. But methinks he'll come back to earth at some point (even if it isn't this tournament).
