Matchroom 2023 UK Open (nineball), 30May-4June, Winner $30K

SVB still doesn't know who is last 16 opponent is cos 2 jokers Imran Majid and Kaci still taking their sweet time in their match. Maybe they went for dinner break also cos these 2 are really slow. This could be longest match :ROFLMAO:

Filler is just so freakishly good. He passes the "eye test" for best in the world far more than Gorst to me. Gorst is extremely polished, of course, but I think he lacks the intense aggression and supreme confidence that Filler has.

IMO Filler's aggressive style of play, coupled with his tendency to play perfect pool for long stretches, can completely demoralize opponents.

IDK
Arrogance usually is there to hide weakness. As good as Filler is, be bold.

These guys need to play a long race to see who is mas macho.

Someone needs to host a 20k entry, 8 man event with longer races to see who's the best....hold it 2 or 3 times a year

If I'm reading the bracket right, they aren't staggering start times for the last 16, quarterfinals, OR semifinals?

I realize there are competition/fairness issues at play when one person has a lot more time between matches than his opponent, but sheesh. Seems like could break this up a BIT more?

probably a bracket provider typo/error. all other matchroom events show all semis and QF:s etc, so i expect this to be the same.
 
Shane vs Kaci.

Seriously, how long was that last match?
At 5-5 or so, I left for 30 mins only to come back to find the score had changed by 1 game.

Is this Alex, the 6 year old? His dad was on here a year ago sharing videos. Unsure if the same kid. 1:13 timestamp, but the link should take you right to it.

I see times listed on the bracket for tomorrow's matches.
Anyone know if those are the times 8hrs. ahead of EST?
Thanks
 
Maybe I am showing my green-ness with this question, but, wouldn't you be better off just switching to your jump cue or your break cue than playing with right cue, broken tip?

It's a good question. He said in another post that he switched to a backup playing cue shaft but he has trouble focusing.
 
i think first matches are

table 1: FSR - wilson
table 2: ko ping chung - melling

and you have to say those are fairly easy draws for fransisco and ko, especially compared to svb:s draw..
 
USA, USA, USA, all the way. The eagles have landed. We've got the S-Squad in the house (Shane, Shane, and Sky).

We've got to get Shane Wolford a nickname. I read it was "Champagne."

Shane Van Boening might have just lost his one-name recognition factor, much like Earl. Everybody knows who Earl and Shane are without saying that last names until now. Enter Shane Wolford. Welcome to the American Professional Pool Player scene. Yay! We need new blood, and this is great news.

i think that's a good one. shane champagne.

these are not the usual faces in L16. at least 6 are kind of unexpected. only one polish guy, no austrians.
