Jay the entry fee is $500, a bit stiff for most the unknown locals.
I think there is some inherent unfairness in some people getting to lose twice before being out of the tournament while others are ousted from the event on their first loss (wherever that cutoff point happens), so there is some tradeoff. I don't think anyone really disagrees that that is technically the case either (?), some just see it as a super tiny thing and others are slightly more bothered.
I'm ok with true double elimination, double elimination that transitions to single at some midway point, double elimination with just a single elimination finals, or a true single elimination event (although noticeably less fond of the latter than the others). They all have their benefits, especially at certain times, and I think I kind of like that we have the variety, at least for the pro events, but technically some are a bit more fair in the truest sense than others.

Heard the same thing. Some people saying he was a pool room owner, who likes to play for big money. A person at my local hall claims to have played him before. Reckons if he had a FR he'd be pushing 800. Could be bollocks, but the guy has no reason to make it up.
Does anyone know if this is the same mall where Efren won the Manny Pacquiao 10 ball event about 15 yeas ago? The one where all the refs called a foul if a player did not call a hanging 10 ball.
I think that 10-ball event, in which both Biado and Van Boening were penalized for not calling an obvious 10-ball, was in General Santos City, whereas the current 9-Ball event is in Quezon City. So, different malls.
Anyone who beats Duong 10-9 in a major tournament is clearly pro caliber, regardless of who has heard of him outside his pool hall.
If I subscribe to the Matchroom feed on YouTube, will that get me all the streamed matches?
Not sure how good he is yet, but Fedor had to throw the kitchen sink at him to keep him out of the US Open 9ball semis.
For USA viewers, It will get you table 2 and 3 which are not full production, and usually don't have commentary. Table 1 with the full production is on wnttv.com only. Also, once the tournament goes down to only one table, the youtube stream will be gone completely.
No, table 4 only, but they have good matches on it. Denis Grabe up in 1 hour.
Table 2 and 3 on YouTube?
Thanks! I assume that is the case even with the paid subscription?
Thanks. Maybe I was looking at a different page.... now I see. I was looking at "Upcoming Events" on the scoring site.
Fifteen minutes until:
This might explain why there’s a bumch of no-shows at the Philippine Open. A lot of low key killers are competing in the Qualifiers.

That's over 28,500P! Out of the reach for many young hopefuls, with no backer. They are more used to playing races for 10,000-20,000P. Notice the ones who are getting in are showing their strength. Roberto Gomez, Hoang and Billy Thorpe out and Moritz had a scare himself. More shocks to come!
