i see random matches popping up on my youtube feed but can't find any brackets. how are corey, dennis, alex doing? i assume melling, darren are playing too
 

not sure? but i think the terms
‘finals’ and ‘grand finals’
don’t really mean ‘final match’

it’s more like ‘the playoffs’

they forgot "super mega"

i think the hyperbolic language is because another promoter (and table manufacturer) owns the world championship

either way, lots of money on the line in this one
 
With the big money involved in this, I wonder if these tables and games will invade the USA.

If American players would like to have a serious shot at this money, they need local action; they can't travel to China every Monday and Thursday....
 
I find it funny that they handicap women and take the last ball off the table.
Kelly Fisher really doesn't need to get handicap from Chirs Melling... (She won)

They tried and failed years back.

SVB despises these tables.

Yeah, that game is too hard for America at large.

Both the skill to play well and the cost of equipment...

You can't get people on a 9ft. On what planet would anyone expect this snoozefest game to take off here? Never gonna happen. The average JoePublic banger would take an hour to play one game. Maybe.

There was an "Americas Heyball Championship" last year in Quincy, IL, at the same time as the junior pool nationals. Corey Deuel won it. There's a thread about it.

I tried one of the tables briefly. You could run a ball down the rail but it had to be within less than a quarter inch of the rail when it got to the pocket to go in. The side pockets were huge in comparison. Nick Varner was there and liked the game.

Here's the thread:

Bob Jewett

Thread 'Americas Heyball Championship, July 2024'

Just got this announcement from the BCA. It says the two winners also get a paid trip to the 2025 Heyball Masters.

For a $100 entry fee, you are getting real good money odds.

I was told there is no event this year in Quincy because the tariff on each table was going to be $8000.

I find Heyball boring as hell, but I also find the World 8ball Championship boring as hell. I think the folks at Heyball realize that if 8ball is to be something other than just a breaking contest, the pockets must be super-tight. I get where they are coming from, but I find it very hard to watch,
