International Open 9-Ball 2024, St. Augustine, FL, Nov. 18-22

A few photos from yesterday. That light array over the TV table is bright as hell. Gonna need my hat today.

The rounds/sessions are really spread out. Do pros really like events stretched out this much?

Here is the tiny little single cam they have set up over the out tables...

I've watched every Feijin video on his YouTube channel the past three years. The guy puts in a ton of working making them. Very impressive the quality of his teaching - and what he is teaching.

You can see he is extremely fit, more so than almost anyone on the circuit. He is an avid distance biker among other things. Forget his age. He can still play at an extremely high level.

Yet because he is a family man now, he has only been been playing part of the time on the pro circuit. He has acknowledged it has hurt his game.

Watching him play, he rarely loses badly. Most of his losses are close.

Still, he does make a few more key mistakes at critical times than he has in the past. He made a big mistake up 9-8 vs Filler that almost cost him. That's a result of his playing less.

If only Wiktor had Neils' mental fortitude ... but he has time.
 
On Doggin it, Panazzo said the players who eschewed Vietnam because of the WPA conflict and players on the WNT side largely kept their distance from each other away from the table. Some, he said, wouldn't even look at each other.

A shame, really.

And even that mistake against Filler amounted to missing perfect position on the 7 by less than 2 inches. If he'd been just a smidgen further off the rail he would've easily finished the rack.
 
Can someone post a link to buy the PPV?
On the International site, it takes you to some service that's "free" then $60 a month after that.
Includes movies and all kinds of stuff.
Is there any option to just buy 1 or 2 days like other PPV's?
Is the "free" 3 days for real?
Thanks.

Don’t know Mike personally, but I do know that he schlepps his own equipment and streams a metric crap ton of pool. Look at the streaming forum and you’ll see he had been all over the country.

I really enjoy watching his product. The dude is providing a free stream, so it makes sense that he runs his own commercials; shows you some cues he has for sale. How is that any different than a sponsorship ad on a pool podcast or a banner at the top of this forum?

Hey Mike, thanks for the content. I get a kick out of your hard work. Let’s get Maki rocking’ his socks round the table o some action matches.
Sir you appear to be a reasonable human being lol, thanks a lot for your support.
 
Indeed, these match streams are legit. Props to him and the others helping us experience this great event from our couches. His advertisements for a streaming service that plugs into your TV and includes all major channels for 25 dollars a month, not so much. I can’t imagine many people are biting on that one though.
The service that I promote is $44.97 a month and is run with the utmost respect. We process payments through professional invoicing system with the stripe platform, you can use use $Cash App, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Credit Debit cards etc. We provide a 30 day evaluation and it can run on any DEVICE with the instructions provided. You can even watch the Mosconi cup in the USA by accessing Sky sports feeds. I will also tell you of all the people in the billiards community who have done something like this LGS runs the best, so much so I've taken over several of the customers from other partners who could not handle competently the technical aspect of running a business such as this. I don't blame them, it's a lot in addition to sitting in front of a computer constantly monitoring services, providing tech support you name it, so in tandem with my broadcasting endeavors I can do both at the same time (IE Sitting at a computer constantly).

ANYONE who wants to sign up for nothing to get up and running send me a message on FB - http://www.faccebook.com/letsgetstreaming
 
I am planning on griding through the additional events as well banks, one pocket and the 14.1 I have three machines available to co produce content. Best thing to do is to subscribe to my Billiardnet youtube channel it seems to be a better delivery platform than Facebook at this point. http://www.bnyoutube.live
