Take what you make on break, or still open? (BCA)
Are they playing on a bar table? If so, I’m surprised Corey would get a spot. He is one of the best bar table 8 ball players
So- it is on a bar table. I’m not a betting man, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Corey won- seems to me that he doesn’t need a spot
Shaw has every right to ensure the equipment is what he agreed to.
Bergman has every right to be mad.
What the railbirds think,unless they have skin in the game, doesn't really matter.
IMO, the communication for this match was very poor. I blame the organizers.

God bless Big Truck and Jeremy Jones. Love this team.
This is a good example of making something happen, making lemonade out of a lemon.
This is truth.
He lost a lot of fans. You have to consider all the time and expense people went through. The dissappointnent of fans. All the guys who were traveling in with VIP seating.
If you are gonna be a hothead fine. Just let the anger fuel you.

I don’t think he did. He mentioned recently in another thread that he thinks Dechaine isn’t playing up to his potential lately. I agree.
I won't go into any details here but Jayson may have some personal issues he needs to get handled moving forward. These issues could well be affecting his judgement and playing ability. I wish him the best getting them resolved for his own good.

Sad if true. But you probably should have kept that private. Or at least that's my opinion.
Exactly what I posted last night - and it confirms it moreso hearing it from a reputable table mechanic like yourself.
I am not sure that what we think here doesn't matter, after all we are consumers that help support pros (albeit, not very lucratively). Our PPV dollars, tickets to tourneys, concessions, etc. all go to support pool. It's one thing to branded the villian or "heel", it's another thing to be branded a coward. I don't believe Shaw is scared, he has played for more money than a lot of folks, but perception is important, and it doesn't look good.
Seems like there are a lot of people vouching for the room owner? Was the table to be played on any tighter than the tables at DCC or TS?
Man, I ain't ever going to disparage a man trying to protect his money, but it sure seems that if Shaw was as anxious to get this rematch on as folks say he was, there were plenty of concessions made my JB and the folks on sight to get this done.
I'm just a banger with little to no knowledge of the inner workings of a matchup, but tight pockets is the deal-breaker???
I believe I read it right here in the Main Forum some time ago that Jayson Shaw has a Chinese 8-ball table set up in his house for practice.
And he's pulling out because of tight pockets?

My assessment is that standard sized 4 1/2 inch pockets with new cloth would absolutely help Shaw in this match. Bergman is much more calculating and precise with his cue ball control, and Shaw plays best, when he's loose and playing fast.
To me, this was in fact a huge factor in the match. Of course Shaw is a great shotmaker regardless of pocket size, but in a match against someone like Bergman, who is so deliberate and calculating, Shaw needed the standard pockets and new cloth to have the best chance to win IMO.

The man has his reasons, which may or may not have been disclosed.
Somehow, we'll find the strength to go on...and hopefully find ways that can help avoid similar snafus going forward.
Maybe he has horrible diarrhea. Don't know, doesn't matter.
He has his own justification for the change and it works for him. Whaddya gonna do.
Shit happens.
