Some Updates
- Thread starter Steve Lipsky
- Start date
Lipsky just told me he's playing on the tv table at 8:30.
right against oliver...man they really should update those brackets more often, this sucks.
Not updating this tournament is definitely doing some harm to the popularity of this event. Could it be that we are forced to buy a limited pay per view....This is a huge world tournament I am on the edge of my seat and am constantly left in the dark this sucks...
Jasmine lost to Huiji See earlier. She is up next in the 8:30 round I think.
They haven't annouced that on the stream. But the poster above mentions Heinrich against See, so she must have lost to See and will be playing in the loser bracket tonight at 8:30....
They don't like to update brackets much!
Dan was waaaaay fired up! He was so excited to beat Wen on the TV table and make it to Sunday.

That double-elimination flow chart was for Saturday only. The final 8 on the winners' side and the final 8 on the one-loss side now form a 16-player, single-elimination chart for the rest of the way (Sunday and Monday).
So Johnny Archer and Dave Daya, who have won every game they have played so far, would be knocked out upon their first loss. It's like a whole new event starting Sunday; 16 players, all even.
By comparison, Dave's first opponent today, Tom Walters, has 3 losses (2 in round robin and he's out of the 1-loss side). But if he wins, he moves on and Dave (who is undefeated to this point) goes home. That doesn't seem right.
SJM told me that Walters was quite a player back in the day, one time knocking Joe Balsis out of the world championship. Should be a nice exhibition of old style 14.1 between Daya and Walters.
It should be a great exhibition of how the game should be played. But I think that in a longer race (200 points), Dave should come out on top. And don't put it past Dave to beat Mika (who would likely be his next opponent) after what he did to Thorsten.
I also didn't like Thorsten's comments about how he didn't like Dave's patterns or shot selections, etc.. It's Thorsten who plays the game differently, not Dave. Fact is, Thorsten got a good "old fashioned" ass-whoopin.
Jasmin is out. She is not in the final 16 bracket. That sucks because she also went through the round robin undefeated, and even beat the defending champion, Stephan Cohen.
... but then she went 2 and out.
I know. She lost twice in the double elimination round.
