Anyone else have trouble getting the match to stream today, without long pauses as it buffers? It was fine for about 5 mins, now it's been paused for like 10 mins. I dunno, maybe it's just my office throttling my bandwidth...
 
Watched the whole event today without a problem. Some great eight ball played!
 
Could someone host the video on youtube or PM me their IPT login/pw? i don't trust the site enough to give 'm my only e-mail account, and don't feel like making a fake account to sign up
 
I have to tell you that Bustamante played some ofthe best 8 ball i have seen in a very long time. :)
 
Giving your email account is no big deal.
The only mail I get from them is IPT related. No junk mail or other trash mail.

I go the video replay with no prob. I can stop it to take a break and start up right where I left off. It' great.
 
It's a bit skippy for me but I think that is a function of my old and slow computer more than anything else.
 
I dunno, my computer is new (3.2 GHZ w 3GB Ram) It's stop & start, got tired of that & turned it off. It's the same format with the lights turned down.

If there are 2 other announcers that would bore me worse than Mikey & Grady, I would never watch the damn thing.

I would go a step further to say that Busta plays and played some of the best 8 Ball anyone's EVER seen period! Not to digress, but did you hear in the intro that he breaks at 43 MPH :eek: ? His RO % in Nine Ball is like 63%...wtf ?

I'm hearby telling TAR that we want to see SVB vs Busta in a race to 100 10 Ball. That might be the ultimate match up now...Tom
 
the only problem for me is that the commercial for "giordano's" italian restaurant might be the worst i've ever seen
 
the guy's a master...

Dude the guy was on fire. Like Sigel said, he played damn near perfect. He's just on another level, and he looked so comfortable out there. He made it look easy. It's amazing to me that he hasn't won more major events. I know Reyes is the best, but this guy is my favorite to watch. He had me as a fan ever since I saw him beat Strickland in the '93 Pro Tour event.

Rumor has it, Shane and Alex will be playing next. I don't know how much truth there is to that one though.

finally I had an opportunity to watch it. I enjoyed the game itself but not the way it was brought.
Though I didn't have any delays and buffering I didn't like the video quality very much, it wasn't smooth when the camera was moving but only when it was still.
The cameramen should be taught not to move in the sight of a shooter which they were doing constantly.
Approximately into the second half of the match Sigel can't be heard at the same level with Mathews which has been mentioned already.
I don't know why but I don't like the scoreboard they use. May be because of its cheap look.
And, finally, they can imply every rule they want, like play what you make on the break, BUT setting a rack with two stripes in the corners (9 and 10) in the last game was too much.

As for the game, last shot of the match is amazing! Creativity is there. And every time Bustamante was breaking I couldn't help thinking that the slogan "Solid break every time" matches him very well, much better than the rack it was advertising.

According to this article, Manalo will be playing for the 3rd IPT challenge match?

The question is, who will Manalo be playing? I wouldn't mind seeing SVB vs. Manalo.
