Players' List--U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship

[RichSchultz]

Any tournament where they’ve matched up, Ernesto has always forfeited. At least the ones I’ve watched.

1st round; waste of $1,000, I guess.

Oscar has to play his dad next...interesting!!

I'm looking at the bracket, and that is not the case. Both on the B-side, but they have to go very deep to meet up.

The opponent isn't listed yet for the B-side match, but Oscar is at the top part, and Ernesto is at the bottom part.

Oscar lost to a K.L HSU(taiwan) and Ernesto lost to Kaci Klenti.

I don't see Aranas on the bracket but he is on the players list. I know he went down there to shoot.

He is there. Played already and won or lost.

Haha. Bottom of the bracket, fyi.

Near impossible to win title after early loss

Shocking! Top 2 favorites SVB and Wu sent to 1 loss after just 1.5 days of play.
Both lost in Round 2 so how many consecutive matches do they have to win to win title? 13 or 14 matches? SVB lost in Round 4 last year and had to win 10 consecutive to win title. When was last time someone lost in Round 1 or 2 and went on to win? Mika about 10 years ago?

Ummm, Ernesto forfeited to Oscar today.

Isn't it unsportive to forfeit because you play your son/friend etc. that has more possibilities to win?

Round 2 winner side is late starting? 5pm eastern and no scores yet..

Was thinking the same thing.

I understand why, but they are adults playing in possibly the biggest field ever. Respect the game.
Just sayin

Where in the world is Mike Dechaine?
Inquiring minds want to know.

He was in the commentary box at the Gotham City event a little over a week ago. He said he wasn't going to the Open (even if he won at Gotham, which he did) basically because of the cost-benefit situation for such a lengthy event.

[It was said that he sells windows now; maybe he just had to work.:wink:]
