Predator Las Vegas Mens Open

Ralf and Busty played an entertaining match on Table 1 and Ralf made a nice jump to close the match. Ralf seems to be on fire again

That was fun to watch.

Agreed. And they both shared a smile in the end, I think they both enjoyed it.

Can say that i was really surprised to see Ralf go to the short cue that quickly. Didn't hesitate.

Ralphie hit that jump toooo good.

Seriously, no bracket? People are supposed to wade around that matches page to view progress of the tournament?

Do they seriously just not care about fans any more?

They're using that Cuescore based crap that I don't believe ever has had a bracket layout. Same thing Matchroom used to use all the time.

I am hyped to see Busty playing the Mens Event besides the 1p face off. Of course T-Rex has to be the favourite over him, but never count out Busty.

Busty won the Swanee last night in Vegas.

Oh, good, I was looking yesterday and couldn't find it in cuescore. You can pull a bracket in cuescore if you have the ID. Thanks!

These 10b rules are stupid!

Looks like SVB is playing the bank pool exhibition along with the 1 pocket.

Seems like the best they could do to get some of these guys involved and out here for the fans to see.

These guys don't compete for free or free tickets and hotel. LOL

Not sure where I said they’re playing for free or for room and board.

The 1pocket showdown pays $10k to the winner and the bank pool exhibition has $40k added.

My comments weren't directed at you but at the players.

I like the score format. If you slightly press on a player's name you can see everyone he/she played and who he/she will be playing next. The beginning of each section also tells you if it's a winner round or loser round.

Anyone knows why some of these events have to be WPA sanctioned? I am guessing they have to be sanctioned for some reason ... maybe prize money?

Nice to see they made accommodation for SVB to play a one-pocket challenge match.

WPA doesn't sanction 1p so SVB is good to go as far as that's concerned. He didn't play 10b due to the political bs.

Yes, but the question is, couldn't Predator hold the 10b as a non-sanctioned event because that would be in its interest.

I think the added money has to be under a certain amount to avoid the sanctioning requirement. Someone said $40k, but the rules are probably on the WPA website.

Also to have an event be a world championship, it has to be sanctioned, and the title is important to many.
