that is incredible news, plus the chance to grab a discounted shit brickhouse pool table with 4 inch slate

look for Darren Appleton to take Shane's lunch money easily
 
He who has the money, makes the rules.

Better start stocking your pool rooms with those miniature snooker tables room owners. Learn to speak Mandarin as well.

一切安好

love this game so far, so many positives not the least of which is aving brought together so many nations and pool disciplines


also, for me personally, having played on best in class strachan cloth i much prefer it to simonis
 
The regulation game of Chinese 8 ball is using strachan NO.10,you can have a try in Vegas,maybe your viewpoint on this will change
 
When I saw Strickland played with Hendry the first time,I was worrying about that Earl will punch Stephen on that table
 
Looks like there will be 3 kinds of activities,first,Chinese speed pool,you could win bonus daily and there will be a grand champion,they are all paid for cash.Second,pool roulette,also could win cash,but need good luck.Third,there will be a challenge match,you need to bet for challenge a Chinese player,if you win,you`ll win more,if you lose,you`ll lose all.In the last day of BCAPL,there will be a qualifier among the winners of the challenge,the winner of qualifier will earn a free air ticket between the USA and China,to go to China taking part in the World Chinese 8 Ball Masters,the prize for the champion of the Final is 45000 dollar
This is all I know for now

Has ZERO chance to catch on in the USA. Too hard for Americans who do not want to put in the time needed to develop the accuracy required to play C8 well.
 
Pin point position is not really needed, but angles matter do, very much. Looks like a cool game. Johnnyt
 
Wrong way to go, yet another type of table needed and different equipment. This will not help pool become more popular. It`s the same thing with Blacball on those stupid 6ft tables.

I know so. I lived in China for 7 years. I know this game and these tables. Unless some Chinese company is going to sponsor a multi-year million dollar per year tour in the USA there is zero chance that anyone here will buy these tables and promote this game.

For this particular aspect of pool I am sure that it's the complete opposite of what American players want. Our players complain when the pockets get to be 4.25" and balls rattle because of it. A table which rejects shots that barely touch the rail 98% of the time??? FORGET IT for the USA.

This is a land where the vast majority of players spend the vast majority of their time playing on 7ft tables with 4.5" easy pockets. What will happen is that people will crowd the booth, they will ohh and ahh and talk about how precise you have to be. Some will say they wish they had such a table in their home pool rooms....

Not one of them will actually buy any significant number of the tables. A few might buy one to have a curiosity.

I hate to be Debbie Downer here but I know this market in the USA really well. If I am wrong I will happily admit to being wrong.

I like the game. I like the challenge. I would like to have a C8 table in our room just to have one because I think it's great to be exposed to different variations of pool. I am in the tiny minority who thinks this way.

You could offer to pay any player $100 who breaks and runs out on a C8 table for the entry fee of $5 a try and outside of the top pros 99% of the players at the BCA will fail to run out 99% of the time. These are good players who can run out on the 7' tables you will see several hundred of.

Thank you very much,JB.Surely you are not Debbie Downer,I`m very glad that Americans could talk about C8,peace and calm.I`m not sure what will happen to C8 in USA,maybe it`s not interesting for everybody,but there should be some guys who like it.I mean,yes,it`s hard to play,but someone like football,someone like soccer,don`t need think about it so much,it`s same with C8 and American pool.
I`m interested why you live in China that long time,for study?No matter what,that is good.

And you need wearing a suit in an official C8 game......like snooker
 
Throw in a bunch of tables and a sh*tload of money and it will draw all the pros, just like IPT did. Otherwise, no.
