The Official Bonus Ball Friday Night Thread

I am going to watch something more enjoyable......I just painted a room. I am going to face a chair in the corner and watch the paint dry.
 
For me, the stream keeps stopping and I'm getting a circle that spins in the middle of the screen. Eventually, the stream returns.

Not sure what's going on here.

As for the game, it's obviously skillful but very hard to follow. Pockets this tight are ridiculous, and it's making the players look bad.

Still, I'm staying the course and hoping for the best.
 
they are straight up NAILING IT!

Last night the stream got better as the night progressed. Imagine trying to watch this as an investor. So sad. :(
 
Two nights of garbage.. I would be way happier watching reruns of Mister Ed or better yet I Dream Of Jeannie!!!!
 
There's not enough booze in the liquor cabinet to make this watchable. Looks like it's "Celeste and Jesse Forever" tonight. A double pour of bourbon and a nice fatty should get me through that one.
 
Boring game, boring commentators, terrible stream, players look bored and rushed. I cannot see why anyone would watch, much less pay for this. SVB is laughing his ass off right now. It does make me appreciate TAR though. This is an absolute cluster f@$k.
 
I've given up. The stream is getting worse, the audio is skipping forward and backward by what seems like minutes, and I don't really understand the game.
 
Well...

I waited approximately 30 minutes for the stream to come up and finally it did. We all know the audio was about 3 minutes behind and seemed to get worse the longer it went. I had no idea wtf was going on. Stevie Moore looked like he was bored to death. The shot selection was rushed and the pockets prove aiming systems don't work on 3 inchers. The stream was lagging and I started to think i was high or drunk with the blurred vision. I watched approximately 30 mins and have no desire to watch again. If they are getting paid 1k a week then I suppose it is worth it to them. I hope it lasts for them but I have no idea how it can. I honestly think students in a high school AV class can produce a better stream. Who is in charge? What explanations have they provided? Do they realize potential sponsors or investors may have wanted to tune in?
 
Wow. Could things go any worse for these guys?

I'll give it another try once thing are running smoothly, if that ever happens.

Man oh man.

Guess I'll crawl back down into the basement and hit a few balls.
 
Does the "1201 Views" indicate there have been 1201 unique viewers or that the page has been viewed 1201 times total? Either way, that's a fair bit away from 10k.

The stream is choppy with at least a 20 second lag on the audio, but at least the players have stopped doing the Matrix thing.

The game is pretty enjoyable and easier to follow than I had thought it would be but I agree the pockets should be opened up. The non-billiard viewer (the WPBL's professed target audience) will have no idea how tight 3 7/8" pockets are.

I'll give the free streams a couple of more chances but it's far away from where I'd actually pay to watch this.

On the bright side, the Asian "ball girl" is quite a bonus.

Nowwwwwwwww do you understand why we went to talking about coffee?
 
Who is going to pay for this even if the stream works? I pay for TAR. This aint pool. Open up the pockets to 4 1/2 and play 9 or 10 ball. I guess I'm not the target audiance.
 
not

can someone explain to me, if this game is so great and it will change pool as we know it! Then why in the hell do they need two ball girls that don't even know when to get the balls? Don't get me wrong, the girls look good but it makes this game so cheesy. Maybe they should have gotten Hooter girls and serve wings while the players are sitting waiting for their turn. At least the players would have a smile on their face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:grin::grin::grin:
