Mosconi Cup 2021 Day 3 Updates

unbelievable last rack. I can't believe it ended like that.
the rule is what it is, but not stopping the clock to clean the cb is nuts

You'd just have people asking for the ball to be cleaned every shot if that was the case.

I can understand the rule, as horrible as this was. You shouldn't get a free extension by asking for a cleaning. I don't think that's what JJ was doing here. Wish there was some discretion.

Brutal.

You are supposed to shoot with a clump of chalk on the ball and take your chances?

Pause the clock for the 5 seconds it takes...WTF

I agree. The one-sided commentary is nauseating. I thought commentators were supposed to be unbiased.

Watch any sport where one person/team is dominating the other, and you'll hear similar commentary.

I edited my post to address your question.

Brutal.

Have the player turn their back to the table while the cue ball is cleaned, problem solved.

Goes to show, no matter the rule, someone is getting screwed.

Oh wait. There is Shane sitting on the couch while his team mate is playing his heart out... WOW!!!!

 

[mattydrva]

I was actually more put off that Shane deserted his teammates apparently in that last match. At least we won the Ryder Cup, haha

Are you only able to think through a problem while looking at it?!

Such a shame a great match has to end like that.

One " cleaning" per rack?

Just blew the best story of the cup if Jeremy won that set....even is US never made another ball losing 11-6

That rack was just crazy

You obviously haven't listened to Joe Buck.

I try not to be too negative about commentary - but I would take the extension howler monkey in the booth over Phil Yates right now.

 

[efirkey]

I'm sure Matchroom would have rather had JJ won the last rack. It would make for a better story and a better day tomorrow.

Hill hill and Jeremy has a chance to win it all. I absolutely agree with no stoppage of the clock to clean cueball. It gives Jeremy some time to cool his nerves. Considering the situation and 30seconds on the clock with 1000+ watching. He was definitely trying to take a minute to compose himself. He obviously didn’t know the rule but that has been the rule for awhile in all Mosconi’s. He is the Captain after all, should know the rule lmao

 

[loggerhead12]

That's like nullifying the winning home run in The Natural for a socks violation.

Total mental failure. He had it won.

 

[garczar]

The table, the ref, the crowd all hate the USA

And your point is?????

 

[couldnthinkof01]

Just sad.

Yes, ab-so-f-ing-lutely yes.

 

[Hungarian]

What a heart breaker.
