Reason number 471 pool goes nowhere!
Wow JJ was best USA player today. But unfortunately lost match forgetting time rule
Yeah I was thinking about that too. I think they put it off because the US was losing so bad and they want to make sure they have more than one match tomorrow. But that’s just a guess, maybe it was some other issue.
that a player could use/abuse the time cleaning the ball to gather themselves is a legitimate point
double j/any player should ask for the cb to be cleaned immediately, then use that time to think without going over the clock
honestly, I didn't know they didn't stop the clock tho, in any match, at any tournament..for some reason that's surprising to me
damn shame tho, that ending. I wonder if double j knew the rule, and forgot in the heat of the moment, or didn't know it at all
you figure a guy like jeremy jones would know all the rules backwards and forwards, but maybe not..guess we'll hear about it
So US got shut out 5-0 today?
Unfortunately yes.
In matches with a ref and no shot clock they clean the ball every time they like
Snooker they clean the ball often because any little skid will cost the shot on right pockets. If pool is going to be played on tight pockets, players have to be able to clean the ball.
Yep. Emily likely made executive decision to push Match 6 (Fan's Choice) to final day tomorrow to avoid Europe getting on hill 10-5
I think there was one year when Europe got on hill on 2nd last day and next day it was anticlimatic was 1 match and it was confetti and prizes presentation. Even Barry Hearn haven't warm up his seat yet. Still improved performance by Emily to whip these 2 teams to 4 days this year instead of 3 last year
right..I was thinking that I'd never seen a time violation in snooker, but wasn't sure
so they don't have a shot clock in snooker at all? then maybe they shouldn't have one in pool- ?
are so many pro pool players unreasonable with their time-taking that we need one?
great point about the pockets tho. our rules should protect the game, not endanger it.
Sorry, I had to look him up since I've never heard the name before:
Keith
P.S. Opinions seem to be pretty consistent about his commentary style
So no warning beeper??
Three points here.
One, JJ didn't get screwed if they had in fact gone over the rules regarding the cleaning of the CB at the start.
The captain of all people should know the rules.
Two, players abuse the stop-the-clock rule some tourneys have and use it to compose themselves without losing time. (Chang is a big one)
Three, the refs always announce to the players when a ball is frozen. They don't look at it and keep it a secret until after a potential foul has been committed and then award BIH to the opponent. Therefore, it is my opinion the ref should have been obligated to inform JJ that the clock will not stop while he cleans the CB.
Or games being decided over him not hearing the 5 second beeping.
I really want to know if he's have made the 6 abd gotten shape on the 7....we will never know
