Don. No disrespect to the Grandmasters, but come on WBCA, show the players that make this tournament happen. The A and B level player's?

I mean, there's over 600 A and B players there now, and you all are concentrating on the Grandmaster's.

With the current schedule. the only way an A or B player is scheduled to be on streams in singles is for point matches or finals.

Wow, 3 A players and 3 B players. Way to show the support to the general players, unreal.

It's not good for viewing! That's why they stream the higher caliber matches.

I would agree with you if this was a ppv event, but its not.

In all actuality, the members paid for the stream to happen so why concentrate on a specific group. Also they probably would get more viewers if they did show A and B players because friends, family, and league players that didn't go to the event would tune in.

So who should they be showing at this event. If you want to see a specific A or B player the chance they would shown is probably low due to the quantity of those type players. Generally most streams that are free at events choose the highest quality match drawn for the upcoming round. I saw a player at the Derby who was asking if he could pay to have his match on the Accu Stat stream table. They told him no they would select the matches on the stream table.

Thanks to the streamer it is great to be promoting the sport.
 
I enjoyed the match between Rich and Danny. Look forward to watching more of the Grand Masters. Don't often get to see them play 8 ball on a bar box.:thumbup:
I can see A and B players playing 8 ball on a bar box any night of the week.:p

Watching Dan Louie play was the only reason I watched the stream. So I was happy they showed that match :)
 
That match up goes way back.

We watched Dan and RIch match up back in the 80's at the White Spot(now the politically correct "Right Spot") in Fife, WA several times. Was rooting for a good match. We sure got it!:thumbup:

I'm just saying that the A and B players are the ones that pay for the tournament to even happen, so give them more time on the stream.

So far, around 90% of the stream has been masters or Grandmasters playing and it will continue to be that way until the end of the week.

This isn't s Derby City Classic event that is designed for the top players in the world. This is a regional tournament that is designed for the local league players, so why exclude the players that support it the most

Like I originally said, I'm not hating on the top players being shown. I'm just tired of seeing the other players not being treated equally since they paid for it also.
 
The TV Table!

Ditto! I only watch free streams as a rule. I understand people wanting to watch the greatest players when they pay money but myself I would like to see some of my non pro friends playing out of state. Especially when there is down time on the TV table. I realize streaming is still new but in the TV and radio industry down time is a big no no. Ideally I would like to CHOOSE to view the matches I want. I understand logistically every match can't be streamed, but to have more choices would be awesome. Hats off to Big Truck and everyone else who are trying their best to bring us streaming events!

How cool is that! I am taking lessons from Dan so I wanted to watch this match. My lunch break came at the right time so I caught most of it.
