Brackets updated immediately on round completion or before!!-something no other USA tournament has been able to do-not even close-no majors for sure

Congrats AZB for showing the way!

You keep saying this but CSI has done it for 6 or 7 years & they have the nicest setup for brackets i've seen.

I personally "heard" M Griffen say it was 'too hard' to get the online brax updated after each round right away within the last 4 years. could be 5 yrs but i doubt it. Since the 7 footers came in, i dont watch-If he finally got it right, congratulations but I will have to see it first to believe it.

Now i am recalling following a friend 2 yrs ago during the nationals and they were over a round behind constantly.

Here is a thread from 2012 with complaints on the CSI brax not being updated for hours!! Cut The BS ok?

Really good stream with some great matches. If there is one thing I think could be improved on it is the room lighting, it's a bit on the dark side, sometimes a little difficult to tell balls apart and you really don't see much of the players. Don't think there's anything AZB can do about it.

turning Stone updates on a per game basis in almost real time. Very impressive, but should be the standard. Period.

I'll even allow a little more slack-Update the brax after each match would be ok with me for the other events. Being ROUNDS behind is the standard right now.
 
Agreed! I've got th live stream going on my tv and the AZ page open t check other scores. Love the coverage and very thankful to all who are making it happen!
 
Turning Stone has those updates because someone is actually in the stands keeping score. We don't have that at every tournament & it will most likely stay that way.

Mezz West State tour has a nice setup now especially with the live scoring of every table & the stream seems to always be of nice quality.

I agree with Cbuck, I have followed the USBTC from CSI for the last couple of years and the brackets are updated right after the match. Glad to see more live scoring taking place

Actually, the owner of AZ billiards, mike Howerton and Jerry Forsythe are the ones in the stands doing the updates. Thanks guys!!!!
 
I wish I wish I wish that they would put the score on the stream feed. Not just between racks, but 100% of the time.

Especially for us going full screen on a TV, the page that shows all the scores at once is not an option.

It is irritating that they don't have an overlay with the score showing at all times. The commentating leaves a lot to be desired. It is just a bunch of guys sitting there bs-ing. And what is with the clown from Quebec jibber jabbering in French.

http://ctsondemand.com/ has everything back to 2009. I've never seen them not updated immediately. They are also keeping track of hundreds of tables with different tourneys overlapping each other not 16 tables in 1 room.

He was talking to the pool fans that are watching in Canada who speak French. You seem like the kind of person that complains that oxygen is invisible.
 
CSI does update their scores at the end of a match. I prefer the bracket graphics used at TS through AZB to the CSI graphics. Good to see all improvements in this realm.

Im glad CSI finally has their stuff together on the Amateur extravaganza and i assume the recent 7ft pro stuff. It's just too late for me as neither is exciting enough for me to care about timely results.
 
The live scoring game by game is thanks to Mike and Jerry... There is no magic just hard work... They don't even get to really watch any pool because they are constantly looking for score changes... Brutal and thankless to say the least... They do this for the scoring at the US Open 9-ball Championships as well and have done so for years...
