In the match before, Woodward pocketed the 7 in the side with a slow roll, it went a bit too far. During the roll he said something about it rolling off. I do believe it was the sidepocket where Shaw was lagging.
I saw some iffy rolls near the footstring, but they weren’t severe enough to mention.
I wonder if that’s the first scratched lag in major tournament history. Missing by almost a diamond isn’t possible with just table rolloff. There had to be some sidespin or terrible aim involved.
EDIT: I rewatched the video and that was indeed massive table rolloff. It didn’t start heading towards the corner until the half table point, and drifted offline at least 6-7 inches. It looked like a friggin’ putt at Augusta National.

I just re-watched it - that was a MASSIVE table rolloff. Whoever set that table up should be held to account.
but then you’re not able to agonize with us here in real time!
How's Justin going to get there? Corey plays worse than Shane at MC.
I think it's just some bad rolls this year, score should be much closer.
I love that Shaw and Filler are playing to the crowd - great to see Shaw having the crowd be loud during his shooting, the way it should be
I also like the guy with the "Euro Tyler Styer Fan Club" t-shirt. Ouch.
justin is like 95% retired. corey doesn't play much more. these two would make ZERO difference in the outcome.
Fair points. I have to agree.
9-2. I keep the scores current in the first post of this thread.
thanks!!! does 1st team to 11 win
Maybe not. There is a video of Hohmann scratching on the lag with even worse rolloff. In that case it was the cue ball. The balls for the lag are a special red/blue commemorative design. I didn't see any rolloff on the second lag.
On the 2nd day, the table appeared to roll in the other direction (towards the center diamond) in the clip I posted earlier:

Thought I would start a thread here for those of us who want to watch and chat about the action, or follow the results. I’ll try to keep the match scores updated here in the top post in real time. Give this a Like if you plan to follow closely — and don’t open this thread if you plan to watch...

I agree. That looked to be just a little left of Sky’s lag roll (as viewed from the foot of the table), which would indicate some kind of ridge on that side of the table, between the path of those two balls. Perhaps a cracked/defective slate? Something under the cloth? Thicker section of cloth? Weird.
Correct - it’s just as likely the roll off was from an out of round ball as it is due to the table being out of level, especially if they are using special balls for lagging.
Yes. I have all the details in that first post.
