Sarah Rousey advanced to next round in Women's World 9 Ball Championship
- Thread starter sunnyday
- Start date
Where is everyone seeing the information about who is in what groups? I have been all over the tournament website and cannot find it. Could someone post a link again. That one posted previously doesn't seem to open. Anyone else have anything?
Not sure how up to date this is but here's a link I found

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh...................... Sarah you go girl
Thanks for the bracket link. AZB also has it now.One change though, I watched what little streaming there was last night and I'm pretty certain Ga Young Kim kicked butt in her match (no score though sorry).
Line Kjorsvik lost 7-2 to Rubilen Amit and then had to play Xiaoting Pan and lost 7-1...That's brutal.
Guess I'll just cheer on Sarah Rousey too then!
You mean to say not a cheer for Ine Helvik - who has won at least 2 or more matches ?? I thought she plays for Norway.
Haha I completely forgot about her in this thread, but I cheered on her on her facebook-page
She finished 9th, which was her goal. Really impressive, but I'm gonna tell her when she gets home that she is stupid for making stupid goals.
People that says "I want to get in the money" or "I want to reach the single elimination" or "I want to win three matches" etc seldom do better than their goals.
I'm sure Ine won't admit it, but her mind was already satisfied before her match with Yu Ram Cha when playing for a spot in the quarterfinal.
She had already reached her goal and that makes winning the next match a lot harder... Imo...
(hope she reads this)

Point taken - but to get to the highest level of one's potential one must set goals in stages - like climbing a ladder - her goal was to better last year - most of these women have WPBA tour experience - (eg Radamakers beat her in EPC - but this was a turn around ) - it is better to have a realistic goal - If you say "I just go to play" your performances won't be as good as setting a goal ...Imo
Yes, I agree that setting a goal like she did is way better than "I'll have fun and try play my best".
I am a big fan of the women's pool, have been watching a lot and played a few of them.
All I can say is that Ine has the potential to finish higher than 9th. She isn't good enough to win, but I'm pretty sure she could have atleast got a quarterfinal on a good day, but that's another subject.
I don't believe in goals like this though, I think players should make goals before each match. Of course, if the press is asking you what's your goal then you have to say something like 9th, quarterfinal etc., but in your own head you should just have small, realistic goals before each match.
I always make 1-3 goals before each match, and I know that if I succeed with the goals it's not my fault that I lost the match. Then the other player must have played better to win.
For example, if I play a guy that is known as a great jumper, one of my goals before that match will be to play "perfect lock-up safeties".
Against another player that's way better than me, my main goals can for example be "to punish each mistake" and "have great breakshots".
Of course, the best would be to be able to focus on all these hundreds of small things during every single match, but the human head isn't made for that. If you give your mind a mission to focus a little bit more on a few things in each match, that's a thing your brain easily can do.
I believe that "easy" small goals like this will help you focus a lot more on the task ahead of you, and help pushing you a little in the needed direction to win each match.
