Whatever they are, I think Shane is going to win by at least 20 racks.
idk, but a deviation from those break rules seems improbable. that's the way shane likes it
My concern is table conditions, especially pocket size.
I'd flip a coin on that. Not that I could figure it ...
Shane vs. Fedor
10 Ball, race to 120, 100k posted. August 15th You've all asked for it, well it's happening!

I think it's going to be very close. If anything, I would say Fedor is the slight favorite. Hard to fade the advantage of youth and still being hungry.

Fedor’s history of neck/back problems could somehow factor in due to the consecutive days and long hours they’re going to be playing.
But it’s all kind of moot as these types of matches are essentially a glorified exhibition or a marketing exercise designed to build hype/sell PPV. They’re not betting their own money and they get paid regardless of what happens so there is nothing on the line for either of them. Maybe bragging rights but I doubt they care too much about that as you can’t pay the rent or buy fancy Louis Vuitton belts with bragging rights.

Perhaps you are right, but it does seem like they care. Orcullo seemed very hyped when he completed his legendary comeback

I will tune in at 110-110
Says Day 1 and $29.99 for event further down https://xpool.live/videos/day-1-shane-vs-fedor
But if1 Day is $29.99, then 3 days is $100 could be most expensive 3 day PPV ever
$29.99 for all 3 days would be cheap, IIRC used to be around $50 or more for 3 days marquee matchups.
Though won't be surprised if such longgg races to xxxxxxx are cheap these days- Much less demand for such long races these days with big real prizemoney in MR WNT world tour and Predator PBS weaning players away from such long races money games which frankly is a good thing. Might still tune in to check out last day if nothing to do. These matches are circus novelties like that Mike Tyson fight end of this year
Thing is it used to be race to 50 or 100 few years ago but these days it is 120.
Why 120? Why not 100 or 180 or 300 or 1000 ?
cos in such close match, you can have different winner for different race lengths.

Yeah, I don't mind a single long set....but not this long. Race to 25 seems more than sufficient for a "long" set for me, maybe 50 for a really long one.
I do like the tennis style setup though. Best of 5 sets, race to 10 would be great.
i agree that the loser wins over 109 games
I may be inclined to pay $10 for a copy of the full match to watch at my leisure.Says Day 1 and $29.99 for event further down https://xpool.live/videos/day-1-shane-vs-fedor

Like most PPVs, I don't have time to tune in all day for days at a time.
I'm typically stuck with highlight videos after the fact.

This is the winning post.
I agree with everything. Alternate breaks and multiple sets.
Would rather see an ahead race
That would be fun too. But what would you set for the number? Winner breaks? Alternate breaks? Depending on the number, an ahead set could be over in a couple of hours, or last for many days.
