Steinway Classic - Who Set Stream Prices?

Mosconi Stats

does anyone have a win/loose % on Earl in the Mosconi cups he played in over the years not sure but I think it's pretty high thanks.
 
AtLARGE would you know Earl's winning percentage at the Mosconi cups he played in I think it's pretty high thanks.
 
Stream

Stream is running great today. I've watched Shane, Earl, Jason, Alex, Stevie Moore, and Mika. I've actually watched more of my favorites today than in the whole US Open on Accu Stats. Their choices mush have been driven by Asian TV market.

Anyway, I've been pleased.
 
We have not had a problem with stream. It's not as sharp picture as the US Open.
Some guy they have come in the booth is a little cray-cray and the mute button goes on when he is there.But he doesn't stay long (lol) Other then that the commentators have been above average, no Danny and Mark, but they are doing well. I like the fact that Snooki pulls it back when the booth goes off topic and brings it back to the game we are watching.

From what I understand the streamers have nothing to do with the keeping of the brackets or the live streaming scoring.

That is too bad.

You would think for the money you are paying live brackets would be the norm.

Not having brackets you can glance at or live scoring is a negative.

After just watching the US Open where you had all the bells and whistles
it's a tad weak for the money you are paying.

All in all, I would pay early bird price next time. I like to support UpStateAl for all he does for pool.

Just my thoughts

Earl has played in 14 Mosconi Cups, 1996-2008 and 2013. Here is his record on two bases.

Method 1. -- Counting a full win or loss for each player in a doubles' or trebles' match (i.e., not splitting the point into halves or thirds), and a win or a loss for everyone in a team match (i.e., not splitting the point into fifths or sixths).

• 14-12 singles, 24-12 doubles, 1-1 trebles, 3-2 teams, 42-27 total (winning percentage 61%)

Method 2 -- Counting a full point for each player in a singles win or loss, a half a point for each player in a doubles win or loss, a third of a point for each player in a trebles (played only in 2006) win or loss, and one-fifth of a point (one-sixth in 2006 when the teams had 6 players) for each player in a team win or loss, his record is as follows:

• 26.8 - 18.7 (59%)

I do agree $18 for a pool stream that has connection issues and poor commentary is excessive.

By charging $18 you have eliminated a lot of folks who would have paid $9.95 to watch.

If you are trying to market the few who are going to watch and then you charge nearly $20 I think your're shooting yourself in the foot.

But the market will determine if it is to high.

I don't know how this bandwidth thing works once it gets out from the pool room to Ustream or where ever it goes, but I wondered if less people watch would that help prevent poor bandwidth lagging?

Maybe that's why they charged so much .... in an effort to reduce viewing bandwidth and still make the same money???? :shrug:
 
I know someone who does it for a living . Still owes me $40 from a pool bet 7 yrs ago .But always played if off because of being a nit. He probably needed it ::more than me. :wink:

That could be true. Seems to me, the promoters put profit in front of viewership.
