Saturday: Semifinals of 2013 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship

Thanks

I feared that was the case. I wanted to see the Niels/Corteza match, I wish they would consider showing it.

Oh well, all the matches will be great between these guys and at that price I can't really complain I guess.

whats the format for the final? longer race? 1 match final?

In the past, that is the way they have done it, one longer race to 13.

But if memory serves me right -- and somebody correct me if I am wrong -- the winner has to win by 2 or more games?

Man, oh, man, that really sucks a big weenie. Of all matches, the one between Niels and Van-Van is the one I really was hoping to sweat. Why can't they have the matches at separate times? EVERYBODY would watch both, I'm sure.

Thanks for the info. :smile:

I hope ACCU-Stat reconsiders this, or delay the two matches. Or if someone out there like to make couple of $$$$$ and get ACCU STATS permission can do this:

Thanks JAM that is an awesome writeup and some great pictures. I wish them all the best but I am pulling for the kid from South Dakota SVB.

That is correct.

Only if he meets Lee Van in the final we might see an upset! but the truth is he plays better than anyone, actually so far he was never threatened with any match, maximum opponents score against him was 5, 6 and last was 7 games.

Naji, nobody can do this. I just learned on FB that Angel Levine was banned from attending the U.S. Open this year. She flew in from Chicago yesterday to check out the festivities. She is the lady who's been working on a documentary about pool called "Raising the Hustler."

When Barry saw her out in the hallway, he asked her if she would be filming. He informed her that he is under contract to not have anybody film. I am assuming it is a contract between him and Pat Fleming of Accu-Stats, which Accu-Stats has all rights to the filming of the event.

When she came to the gate, they informed her that she was banned from entering. I felt bad for her, traveling all the way there from Chicago. Why couldn't she go in and just watch, if she said she would not film?

Meanwhile, I see video snippets all over the place from the matches on FB and elsewere, but nobody says anything to them about using their cellphones to film.

Anyway, I lay all this out there to let you know that I don't think it is possible for anybody other than Accu-Stats to film. I, too, woud love to see this match of Niels and Van-Van. I wish they would reconsider and change the time.

I know man. I would be willing to pay more for the stream iF they would reconsider separating the two matches.

I have another question about Android phones, hopefully there's s tech guy on here.

If I want to get flash player on my phone so that I can watch these matches on my phone, iS it as simple as just downloading the free puffin browser?

Thanks much JAM I know that ACCU STATS have all rights, did not know about Angel. I know Pat is smart man and i am sure he will work out something. Go Pat. Please, here is my $20.00 for Lee Neils match!!!!

Check out this cool photo that AzBilliards put out on FB. WOW! I love this.

Look at the eyes of each player. Killer instinct! WOW!

What kind of phone? I had the Galaxy S2, and never had any issues watching any accu-stat streams.

I think he would sell more tickets of Van-Van v. Niels than he would of Shane v. Jayson, truth be told. EVERYBODY wants to see this match of Van-Van and Niels, two mighty warriors from different corners of the world. I wish somebody would contact Pat and beg him to reconsider.

Droid Maxx

On the accustats site it says flash will be needed

On the Accu-Stats website, it has an e-mail of jim@accu-stats.com for any problems or questions.

It might not hurt to e-mail Jim and let him know how strongly we feel about seeing the Van-Van v. Niels match. Who knows? It might persuade Accu-Stats to change the schedule a wee bit and film both matches. :grin-square:

Well, it's worth a shot, anyway! [pun intended] :wink:

I just sent my e-mail to jim@accu-stats.com and begged them to reconsider.

 

[JAM]

Here's what I wrote to jim@accu-stats.com:

Please consider filming the Feijen v. Corteza match after the Shane v. Jayson match. EVERYBODY on the AzBilliard forum is discussing how disappointed they are, and that they would pay big bucks to watch this match of Feijen v. Corteza.

If it is at all possible, would you please reconsider the schedule and film this after the Shane v. Jayson match? You would win the adoration of the entire pool world. Everybody in the world wants to see this match. Please, please, please reconsider.

Thank you in advance for your kind attention.

I begged him yesterday when the stream table was streamed with no players due to the Lee match finished too early-i guess and a hot match was going in the background, it did not help much, though Jim did pass the message he is great.

The more people that e-mail them, they may realize how important this match is to all of us. E-mail him now.

Anybody who wants to see this match of Feijen v. Corteza, e-mail jim@accu-stats.com ASAP.
