Sorry, folks. We are honoring Mr. Strickland's request not to be placed on the stream table.
File one more to, "Why no one watches pool".
Why would anyone honor his request to not play on a specific table?
You should play where you are assigned, end of story.

If you're not willing to play on the stream table you should be denied award of any added monies.
Doubt the players signed a contract before playing in the tourney that they would appear on a televised table , if they had i'm sure the promter would hold them to it . It might be something promoters should look into in the future. Then players could decide whether they wanted to participate , or not.

It has always been our policy to honor player requests concerning the stream table unless it is the final day. Earl says he will play on the stream if he is playing on Sunday.
The point here is not legal, all players have appeared on stream tables in the past. You know going in that there is a live stream for the event. So if Earl or anyone else for that matter is in the finals they can prevent it from being streamed?
Put him on the table and if he does not show he gets a forfeit. Period.
The next time I go to Turning stone I am going to request a certain table, lets see how far this gets me. This is the same reson that top regional players show up late to tournaments, get early byes and can be late to matches. These top players act like gods and have absolutely no leverage in the real world. Promoters and tournament directors succumb to their tantrums and shortcomings for what reason I still have yet to determine.
Why bother playing hardball? At this point, I see no purpose in not honoring his request, if an acceptable offerring is available to stream.
I agree w/ Zuglan, et. al's stance.
So,...who's is be-en on the stream then?

It is Ralf Souquet V Jesse Engel. A very good match indeed. Hope you will join us for the free stream at http://www.azbilliards.com/turningstonexviii/stream.php
Just be glad they didn't seed the tournament , i hear what you are saying , was just talking about how the promoter could deal with things like this.
Go back and read what Jerry posted-
"It has always been our policy to honor player requests concerning the stream table unless it is the final day."
Love how the live steam keeps moving the camera to see the Earl match now that he is putting packages down. Not sure which match is getting more attention. Good thing Earl objected to being on the table, now I get to watch half of each match.
A great match to stream. I've seen plenty of Earl and Johnny, nice to get to see a young talent like Jesse Engel for a change.
BTW was that a 9 pack? Does anyone know?
