QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025

The person in charge of the graphics has only a slight acquaintance with its operation and features, such as "current shooter", "balls pocketed", and "timer display". At some point during the Ruslan/Ameer match, the clock beeper started working.

Ruslan loses, 9-6

You have to admit, though, Ameer pocketing 34 balls in 3 racks of 10-Ball was pretty impressive.

I watched part of Carlo's match with Mohaned and the camera was too far from the table and for whatever reason unable to focus more closely (close in) on the table. Pretty much impossible to distinguish the balls and there was no commentary on the stream.

said now that ruslan is representing his country.. while the graphics shows the beatles white album instead of a flag

I’m glad he is still around to play pool. For a few years he didn’t play.

This field is so strong that not even 10ball last and poor commentary can scare me away.

There are, however, two big positives.

1. 10ball with no shootouts is the way I like it.
2. The pockets are a bit looser than those found in WNT majors, and that's a good thing. It makes the game more exciting to watch.

I don't think we will see a Cinderella story here. Too many world-beaters.

Good luck to all these fine players.
