I was a Psych Tech for a few years. And I slept at a Holiday Inn a few times. Does that count?

The Doggin' it guys are hoping for a single win today, sheesh.
I mean really, it boiled down to a handful of really bad mistakes and a few bad rolls. Is it really that bad?

Wait, is DAZN still showing MR events? I quit it a while back and now subscribe to WNTTV. Just curious if it’s on both platforms.
The simplest answer is that they are going to make the highest percentage of profit running it from their own site. Odd website problems aside, I think they've done a pretty good job of the production so far.
That said, I agree with you. The more people that get exposed to pool, the better it will be overall. I got into pool 30 years ago after watching it on ESPN, but I don't think pool has the pull for that currently. Maybe Prime and make money off of the commercials?
One of my biggest annoyances is that I feel they should have the entire thing up on YouTube 1-2 months after, but I also say that about most major tournaments.
Doesn't look like it: https://matchroompool.com/news/where-to-watch-the-2025-mosconi-cup/
not pool but boxing,etc.

Most Americans watch live sporting via streaming now, which is fragmented at best. "Channels" account for 8% viewership. In my opinion, this is the ultimate result of enshittification, streaming is a piss-poor way of watching anything live. But it is what it is.
Or one site, which is the Mosconi Cup actual site and see what the time is in Eastern Time - if you need a timezone translation tool for that . . .
you are correct on the 'pull' aspect. don't expect to see pro pool on a free platform anytime soon, it just doesn't 'pull' the advert. dollars it takes to make that possible. maybe someday but for the forseeable future big name pro pool will be a pay-to-watch deal.
Did Willie Mosconi need a coach to win?
I think Ralph Greenleaf may have been his only mentor at one time and he was probably drunk when he did it.
We need more drunk coaches.

when it comes to tech i'm a total doofus. that being said i subscribed/paid/logged in/watched in about 2minutes or so. today's fone/tech addicted people should surely be able to figure this out. this is not anything that's holding back MR's pool delivery.
A little misleading. Streaming is 29%, not most. What you are lumping into streaming like YouTube TV, for example, is a viewing experience pretty much identical to cable tv and absolutely via a "channel" like ESPN, FSN, various sports networks, you name it. Now, you may "stream" via YouTube TV because that's where you get Peacock or ESPN+ or whatever via an app but the vast majority of live sports on YouTube TV, for example, is really no different than cable or satellite.
Wonder who will be today's 'Gagger in Chief'. stay tuned poolfans.
The missed "easy" balls from Fedor, Billy, and Tyler....it ain't good. The fact that we could even beat two stumbling rookies in doubles, doesn't bode well for more than one point. The nerves the rookies may have had are all gone.
We got trouble
Ok. and that means what?? sure its not your boy Bergman in a costume??
Gotta be the coaching. At least that's what i'm hearing thru the 'vine.Europe to win 11-1 , 11-2 becoming popular bets. Europe 11-1 was 81 yesterday now only 19.
Though no one touching Europe to win 11-0 at 251 ($250 profit for $1 bet) yet cos no team has ever lost 11-0
