First of all, you guys nailed the production hands mutha****in down. Not too sure anything can beat what y'all put out for the one hole and ten ball tourneys the past 10 days. The guerilla camera angles are the absolute shit. Don't know how y'all kicked it into that gear but it's a high high gear.
Pool 300...the nuts period. I loved getting to see the pros whooping the ghosts ass like that and having to bring it instead of playing safe. I think it's very enjoyable to watch and if a tourney can be put together it will be the nuts. Woulda loved to have seen SVB get up there and swing it.
Chat isroom...thanks for not being chat nazis, we prob had more fun in the chats the last 10 days than Ustream would allow. Hope we didn't cost you guys any business, I think people had a good time and it only added to the enjoyment of the stream.
KURZWEILS'....that Chris is the nuts for multiple reasons. Outside of the Kamui Tips guy I have never seen a sponsor actually interact with the viewers EVER. Chris was logging in and telling TAR how good they were doing and guaranteeing more sponsorship just cause he was feeling the operation. Chris Kurzweil also mixed it up with many of us and was not scared to put his country meats on the line himself. His meat became the currency of choice for sweat bets as well which I thought was the coolest thing in the world. People were sweating jerkey, ribeyes, bratwurst etc. So we got a real chance to support the sponsors and TAR and our bellys and our gambling itch at the same exact time. The nuts is all I can think. Next time let's see if we can get John Bertone and Kamui more involved. No one wants to buy Kamui chalk cause of the price but I promise ppl will sweat matches for some Kamui chalk or tips lol. Plus it's nice to put personality to the brands. TAR works cause we know y'all and respect the movement.
OK for the bad news....8:30 matches are too damn early to stop rolling the beautiful bean footage. My suggestion would be do those normal 4 matches the way you have been. Add in the early match like 10 AM PST and the late round 11 PM PST but just do it with no commentary and one camera angle. Just something so we can see what's going on. We didn't get to see the 5th-6th matches and it woulda been cool to see Dennis Haar send Dechaine home. I would just say see if there is a feasible way to be able to show a match from all match times just some with no commentary and one static camera angle of the table.
Another thing. Matches on the TV table. We all love to see SVB. We love to see Efren. We also would like to see more of the Matt Krah, Dennis Haar, and Jamie Baraks too. They are great players that a lot of people don't know about but they should get to see there talent. Be cognizant of how many matches certain guys are playing on that TV table too. Imagine how Dennis Haar would have felt on the TV table in the final 3. Everyone else would have played a minimum of 2 matches on the TV table at that point and it would have been his first match on it. So of course he would have felt at a big disadvantage and rightfully so. Keep the rotation fresh. You guys did an awesome job catching the Vidal upset over Morris and Scott Frost going ape shit crazy on Daz and many other phenomenol matches with very unexpected outcomes. I know Kenichi Uchigaki don't pay the bills but these types of players would be perfect to fill time slots on matches with no commentary and one camera angle that essentially would require the least effort. Gives people a chance to see those guys and gives those guys a chance to get used to the TV table in case they go deep.
Commentary...Corey/Billy/Scott was the best thing I'd ever heard. Billy is always a beast he's the Godfather. Jay does real good as well, lots of good stories he mixes in with the commentary while the guys run the Cosmo after the problems get solved. Justin and Cleary need to be in the box too cause they are enjoyable to listen to, very funny, and semi knowledgable. We like when the commentary gets sidetracked and you talk to the chat. Larry Shwartz, Ken Shuman, and Hunter Lombardo were a change of pace and very analytical but they make ADVIL PM seem like Red Bull the way they put me to sleep. Disco was funny too when he was in there.
Very fair price on the streams as well, I hope people bought it like hell cause that level of quality will probably cost more sometime in the future, if it doesn't...it still probably should.
Keep up the good work and it's only getting better. I pretty much buy every single TAR Stream I can just so I can talk to JCIN(STALKER!!!). No seriously TAR is good for pool, grey goose is good for me...Peace out, time to give my girl the good old "shoulder tap"
