What was the final tally?
***The Next Edition of the 14.1 Live Player Review***Jerry Tarantola vs. Mike Sigel**
- Thread starter oldzilla
- Start date
It was great. Sigel's still got it.
When I saw this format with you an Pat I immediately thought "This format is excellent for Accu-Stats, AZers, ustream viewers, 14.1, and pool streaming in general." The opponent in the booth concept is great -- lots can be passed and learned! Whomever came up with this idea is to be highly commended IMHO. The viewing numbers attest to this!
Time may be an issue that Pat & company are dealing with so they could combine the game show idea from time-to-time. For example, rather then the normal break, Pat vs "whomever" could start with the same "ball-in-hand break out shot set up" for each rack, try to make "all" the balls (rather then leave a break out shot), and given a certain number of racks apiece. A missed ball means the end of that rack. After a designated certain number of matches have been played, those with the highest points vs Pat (say a dozen or so peeps) can go off against each other! This of course would be in addition to regular matches (challenges or exhibitions) such as those between you and Pat and Mike vs Jerry.
I wrote this kind of quickly and hope it makes sense. 14.1 needs more coverage and who better then Pat could do that!!!
Pat spelled backwards is "Tap" -- how appropriate!
Am I way off here --- what do others think about this idea?
(Pat: Give SK a rematch
)

this would preety much be done the same way we did it at Valley Forge, and the way that Jewitt runs his event at DCC.
And Yeah i want a rematch.....LOL :grin:

Loved It
Great job by all on a very enjoyable presentation last night. Loved the commentary, particularly by Megan Smith. It was very refreshing to hear a female talking about the game in such a highly articulate, intelligent, and insightful way. Enjoyed Sigel's display of renewed energy for straight pool and pool in general.
Great job by all involved!

Thank you
Hi everybody,
I am so rarely in the forums, but I'm delighted by all the positive feedback on the match Monday and wanted to personally thank everyone. I was honored to be involved in the commentary, and really had a great time doing it. Thanks to Pat Fleming for hosting us, to Jerry for his play and insight into the match, and to Debbie and the rest of the team for their help in the production.
Beyond that, I'm so happy Mike was able to give the viewers a chance to really appreciate once again not only his skills and talent, but also his changed attitude/outlook on pool and life in general.
By the way, I don't know if I mentioned this during the commentary, but Mike ran an unfinished 108 in practice right before the match. I get to see it every day at the pool room, but I wish Pat had gotten it on film for the fans!
Thanks again for everyone's support, and we hope to see you at the World Tournament and/or the US Open!
Best,
Megan Smith
