I'm almost positive they will not use a match clock. Just the 30-second shot clock with one extension.
Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins
- Thread starter easy-e
- Start date
home soil, equipment familiarity, stamina.. maybe? i don't follow all the UPUSA events, but i can think of those factors being in his favor. both are very accurate shooters and pattern players
Then, feels like Berg.
I think I agree with you, what would trigger the 15 second clock to start??? I don't think there is a time limit on the match.
The 15 seconds only comes into play during the final 10 minutes of a tournament match. Since this is a money game, I would imagine both players agreed to no match clock. Justin certainly doesn't want it to be a 15 second shot clock.
Justin was acting very confident when Mike asked him about the match at the USA Nationals. They both have been playing in the Ultimate Pool USA tournaments for the last couple of years. So both are very familiar with the equipment. Justin said he was surprized that Tom took the match. Hmm? I've got Justin in a close one.
I like Justin. He seems to have gotten a little giddy up recently, has some new sponsors and wants to see how far he can go. Has good support from his family and friends.
he thinks justin is better?
Ya think? I'm simply asking for people to elaborate on their picks, that's all. All of the posts on facebook I've seen about this are hilarious. Some people saying Tom won't get to 10, etc. I'm wondering if people who are so confident about either side have spent much time learning about the other. I consider them both buddies of mine, and can't wait to be there for this match!
I have spoken to some of my English buddies and I'm honestly surprised there isn't $1M in the middle. Most people over there think it's an absolute robbery by Tom, and most Americans I've talked to think the opposite. I have Tom in a close one, but if there is a way both can win I'd prefer that.

I will bet on Justin, but I ain’t holding my breath.
what rules? Cuz if it’s the lame-ass Ultimate Pool Rules, Iceberg will lose close on a technicality of the rules. Because they’re dumb. If International Rules means accepted WPA rules, which I don’t think that’s what they’re saying, then Bergman is a favorite in my opinion. But I think they’re doing those lame ass, dumb ass, stupid ass rules.

Just couldn't help it.
