Grady did have much roll well for him today and unfortunately we didn't get to see him in his best form. Hope to see that turn around for him in the next event.mechanic/player said:

Questions ...
Do players get a chance to warm up any on the table they are to play on?
Are they flipping or lagging for the break?
I would think that many players early in the morning might be down to warm up and to practice to get 2 good breaks going. I think the B&R would probably be quite a bit higher if they could side break.
It is winner breaks, right?

Hello,
Well apparently one of the Cuetec fans on the Pro9 forums tells me thatthe cue could have been a Cuetec Vortex break shaft as it has a black ferrule and tip and is easy to confuse with leather. Still not 100% sure either way but apologies to Earl if I was wrong.
As for those IPT regulations, well, I think that all equipment should be checked backstage before the players are let into the arena. Gets rid of all the confusion and gossip doesn't it!
Thanks,
Chris (Chrstc).
The players usually get to have a hit on the table before the matches. Sometimes if a previous game runs long there is no time for this, but usually the table is available for 30 minutes or so for practice if a player wants to get on the table. But after the first round, most are happy to take most of the time between matches to rest.Snapshot9 said:
Players lag for the first break.
Some practice their breaking...I saw Hohmann doing this today. No one seems to have any ideas about breaking that's advantageous except for just smashing it right in the center.

Thanks Colin. I pooched the out to win and that was disappointing, but I did get a nice compliment from John Schmidt who told me my 2 ball shot was amazing to get shape on the 8. That I looked it over and thought the shot out and pointed at it showed it wasn't a fluke. That was high praise from a guy that cut a ball on the rail at about 95 degrees
at 1000 miles an hour on both me and someone else was telling him he did that on him as well.Pool players don't need to eat.
Sorry, I dunno about that. I'll ask Grady when I see him.Bill O said:
btw: Players who have quick games will have plenty of time to eat, but a slow player with a few tight matches could starve to death out there today

Keep an eye on Edwin Montal for me, he is a strong player that could surprise some people.Colin, if you get a chance, I'd like to know a few more general things about the event:
1)Who's looking hungriest and most in form from what you've seen so far?
2)Who are the unknowns who could surprise the heck out of people and go into the latter stages, you think?
3)The pics on the IPT site appear to show a much more low-key playing environment than Orlando's glamour. How well is the tournament being run?
Thanks a bunch!

I pick Bustamante to win it all. With his break and the roll he's on so far in the tournament, it's going to be very difficult for even Efren to top him now.
Of course I guess it's not all that bold to pick the guy with a 6-0 record and over 80% winning percentage so far to win it. Oh well, I'm going out on a limb

I looked at group 13 and saw where Lori John had a lower win percentage than another player she was tied with, but she advanced, and he was eliminated. Why did this happen? My understanding was that ties would first go to the win percentage and then to the number of break and runs / 8 ball on the breaks. Anyone??

Hi Lewdo,
1. Everyone looks pretty hungry...I couldn't guess based on that alone. Maybe Ortmann looks hungriest, but he always has that look
2. Surprises in my books would be Appleton, Boyes and Hann in my book. Hann just handed Marlon his first loss...about 8-3 I think. He's getting that cocky swagger and smirkish grin happening so he'll be dangerous.
3. The room is spectacular, though seating is not idea. This is partly because they will be re-arranging the room tomorrow for the field of 60.
To Sniper,
I'll have a look for Montal in round 4 and see how he's playing.

Colin and JAM?!!!
PS
Suprises, in my tips!
She beat Ernesto Dominguez head to head. That's my guess why she advanced.
