Dennis vs Ko, race to 100, 20K.

Diamond Factory Pro Cut pockets are perfect.

Challenging but not impossible.

Tighter than that and you're ruining the real game....which is the cueball.
 
You mean the 10 ball miss in rack 48. I doubt that affected him mentally. He was probably more upset with these relatively easy missed pots.which cost him few games-
Rack 44- missed 1 ball
Rack 52- missed 4 ball
Rack 57- missed 5 ball

Sounds like you keep track of some stats like misses,
do you post them anywhere?

It would be interesting to see this stuff.
Accu-stats still does this but they never publish them.

Wonder how many misses and errors these guys accumulate on a tight table, under pressure. Break stats are also good to know.
 
Engish, mdda faka.

Do you speak it?
(Damn sorry)
Think it might have hurt Ko mentally when Dennis dogged the 9, left a reasonable shot on the 9, and Ko dogged it right back... then Dennis made the kind of bank that the average player gets punished for trying.

Thank god it's not an ahead set. It's clear these guys could play for a week and be within a couple of games of each other the whole time.

FUkkinv ghost, i seen.

I say yo u that.

Last night was the first time I've ever seen Ko agitated. The score was around 27 or so, he scratched on the break and banged his cue against the table.

AtLarge has been doing this for several events. He may not have been watching this event.

Day 2 started. They lagged for the first break instead of continuing with Dennis breaking. Dennis won the lag.

Dennis breaks like a monster, has a shot on the one, and immediately dumps it to the rail. I didn't see a hop, so it didn't seem like it skidded... but it must have as badly as he missed.

Wow , man

What happened?
I just turned on and Ko has tied match 33-33 LOL
He won 5 consecutive :grin:
 
They got the scoreboard mixed up. It was actually 33-32

Ko breaks ..1 and 2 down and he has open shot at 3 and he runs out to tie 33-33
:grin:
 
Guess you missed the 5 pack by Ko.

No one ran 5 racks. He won 5 in a row, but only broke and ran 3 of those. Dennis broke the first rack after that break they had, then Dennis shot in the second game also, then Ko broke and ran 3.

Score was 0-18 at break, then went to 23-20, but was not a 5 pack
 
Ko breaks , has shot on 1 but no pocket
Safety battle on 1 which Ko wins and he runs out for lead 34-33

great that Tony Robles is back in box. He is excellent technical commentator :wink:

Different people will describe a "Pack" differently. Now, for sure, it was 4 B&R's. I'm not sure if you'd be surprised, but there are a significant number of people across the country that would include the first game won as part of the package. I do, so I differentiate "package" vs "break and run." To me, it was a 5-pack.

At the Joss tour for years, the tournament director (not Zuglan) Pat (Murray?)... he called a "5 pack" as 5 consecutive wins, without any consideration how many innings happened. I certainly was surprised but here was someone 40 years of tournament directing experience that had yet a different definition of a "pack."

It's reality. We're all from different areas.
