Fedor vs SVB score

You are correct. I have zero concept of that, and probably will never know the game well enough to tell you a table is being affected by this or that. Other than filthy balls and humidity causing balls to be "stickier" than usual (more skids/CIT etc).

It is my understanding that heat causes tables to roll faster, but not humidity, so I don't understand what is going on here. The room is air conditioned and I have not heard them saying the room is hot.

Take into consideration this is one of the biggest matches of our generation. Consider the number of people in attendance with their body heat and consider how many times the outside door is opened with people going in and out. Every time it is opened more humidity is let in and the air conditioning has to work extra hard. It’s also hard to cool a big area and get the humidity out of the air.

My home table is in a closed off room with a big air conditioner in the window and some days with the temp set on 70 you can still tell the humidity affects how the table plays.
 
they both agreed to the location and table so no point in complaining. location favors fedor to begin with but the conditions may favor the more experienced veteran, so probably fair in the end
 
You have to judge these guys every 10 games.

So you know how each player is doing.

Judging them based off a few wins is crazy. This is a long ass set.

I will have it on when it reaches 115-115. It's not worth watching right now.
 
American and Russians tend to complain the most.

I was watching a match in the Philippines and Alex and his opponent were half naked. If they could play shirtless they would.

This is why American players are not as good as the Filipinos. When they come here and have to wear pants and a shirt in an air conditioned venue, they laugh.

That’s why Shane was “The Great White Hope” for 15 years. Ha ha.

Humidity can make ANY table play bouncy to the point of being gaffy. Someone there outta to check nose height. If its off combined with humidity you're gonna have issues. I've seen perfect GC's in Ok/Tex that turned into near un-playable monsters when the humidity spiked.

No that cant be right, I have it on good authority that Diamonds are the only pool tables that use wood, rubber, and worsted cloth so it is only they that are affected by conditions.
