Are you sure it was a pool room and not a karaoke bar?

I know Amang (Jose), Bebeng Bacolod (Gallego) and Dodong Dadiangas (Andam),
the one on the far right looks familiar, but I don't know the one in the middle though...

Good friend of Filipino pool players when they come to East Coast. He lives in Virginia.

Why Wiseman?

According to a recent UPA press release, the UPA is happy to announce that they sent Corey, Shane, and Ronnie Wiseman to this event.



JAM

I'm surprised the UPA selected Wiseman. He's a great guy, and a good player, but he's certainly not in the UPA's top ten. Is anyone privy to their reasoning?

Perhaps they have selected a player whom was ready to go there... I'ts far away

 

[Mike Templeton]

And is it just me, or are all of the female referees in pool hotties? Did you see the female refs for this event? The blonde is really sweet.

Gossip Post of the Worst Kind.

That match is now over, 8 games to 1 for the clown errr, Crown Prince of Brunei's opponent. I heard it from the grapevine that somebody or someone tried to bribe the scorekeeper to keep this match as close as possible, and the scorekeeper obliged. Unfortunately somebody reneged on his promise and the true scores were immediately released!

Maybe someone was trying to make out like they knew more of what's going on than they really did. Bribing the scorekeeper seems a little bizarre, don't you think?

While I don't truly know what the Prince's speed is, (and it really doesn't matter) this type of post is nothing but a denigrating, unnecessary, unsubstantiated, gossip post designed to make the hater's of the Prince wring their hands with sadistic glee.

It isn't a just or fair post and has no sound basis. The "story" sounds fabricated and should not have been posted. If you've got some dirt on someone and want to post it, so be it but at least have a plausible story. Bribing a scorekeeper? PLEASE! Do you think no one was watching the match?

It's just plain gossip of the worst kind and while I like many of your posts, this is not one of your best ones.

No. 2 players from the winner's side and 2 from the loser's side will advance to the next round. In this example, only 2 players out of Joven Bustamante, Marcus Chamat, Darren Appleton and Corey Deuel will make it.

actually, no. the loser from the bottom winners qualification match goes to play the loser qualification match on the top of the chart, so pairs get mixed up a bit and you won't be seeing the same match twice (better yet, it evens out a possible unfair draw).

here's one possible scenario from this group, with three of the four aforementioned players advancing:

On the board. Ronnie scores his first game.

Go, Ronnie, go!

Hip, Hip, Hooray.

USA, ALL THE WAY, I SAY!

JAM

hey JAM,
stop doing that. they always lose whenever you cheer for them. you'll just jinx them. speaking of which, maybe you could cheer for the opponent instead. who knows, your real favorite might win.

kinda remind me of the "CELTIC PRIDE" movie. we're the bad luck guys !!! LMAO !

Is this a recent picture of Neils or an old one?
http://www.wpa-tour.com/ScoreMonitor.asp?table=6
He looks like he has toned down his work out schedule and doesn't look as "ripped" as he used to. He looks a lot more mellow in this photo than he has when I have seen him in person (in the past).

Recent pic. Saw him shooting one-pocket at Amsterdam Billiards a couple months ago and it looked like his workout schedule has definitely lessened.

This scoring can't possibly be correct with all of those 8-0 scores can it? This must be points or something not scores in games?

WOW ! Stepanov just got his arse handed to him by Jasmin "lady deathstrike", 8 - 0. that's no way to treat a man. LOL !

When there was an East Germany, many of their athletes looked chiseled like Neils did several years ago.

no, it's just a fantasy scenario explaining how the group system works.

Look at the date... it'is just an exemple. These matches will take place tomorrow.

Thanks! It looked more like a nightmare.
