US Open 9-Ball, 2023, Atlantic City, Sep 25-30

10x800+ players out of 16
3 US Open winners
6 who have won Majors so 10 have not won Majors before

Does anyone know where all 3 of these tables today are going to be streamed? If DAZN is streaming the TV table and Matchroom Multi-Sport YouTube is streaming table 2, then where can we see table 1?

Table 1 on Matchroom Pool channel
 
The whining was deserved. Did you watch the DAZN production? 1 of the days the music was so loud it was cutting off the commentators. And it wasn't joyful music anyway. It was literally funeral music.

The slow play is brutal. I challenge you to watch the Chang vs Shane match in its entirely without fast forwarding. I think you'll stab your eyes out.

At a minimum, for the outward facing matches that the squares see, they should have a 30 sec shot clock. The background music could have been turned off entirely and it would have sounded great.

We all want the same thing. A polished production that will keep the die hards like us engaged, and grow the game to the squares. Its not going to happen the way it was presented from day 1-4.
100% dead-on target. I want pro pool to succeed on all fronts. This is MR's big show and its just not run that well. In business shit runs downhill so its possible ER is not the person needed. Time will tell.
 
A chess-style clock smarta55.
I didn't anticipate confusing anyone with that comment.
I'll try to find a crayon font when you're involved in the thread.
A player shouldn't need 3 minutes after the break to make a decision.

I don't think you get my comment? I think your idea for using chessclocks is great.

5min + 30sec increment means:
For the entire rack you've got 5 minutes, but each time you take a shot and you tap the clock you get +30 seconds.
So you can still play long racks, but at some point you only got your 30sec increment, more or less.

4min + 45 sec is possible too?

To proof Im not a smartass: I googled "Smarta55" because I thought it was some kind of chessclock LOL

40seconds, no extensions. keep it simple.
 
.Not sure EF is the person for the job. So much of it just seems bush-league to me.
I'm starting to think the same thing. But there are enough bootlickers around to keep her opinion of herself at a high level until she turns the game of 9-ball into something unrecognizable someday. Just my opinion.

I'm hoping for the best...but expecting the worse.
 
Oh damn! Table 1 on DAZN is sweet. It's a different table, better angles and an ultra clear camera. You can literally see the dust on the rail.
Yeah, but on the Youtube stream I don't have to listen to a bunch of puffed-up commentators predicting what shot the players will take next!

And...it's FREE!
