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

[Jimmorrison]

So many uninformed opinions being spouted off as fact. The 8 moved. Video after the fact proves that. The ref's insanely keen eye caught it. Much like the foul he called on Albin that couldn't been seen on video replay at slow mo, but noticeable at full spd.

A video replay was not required to prove the 8 moved. I'm betting that's why they didn't bother. The likelihood of the movement not being caused by the CB passing by was miniscule.

Unfortunate call, ref did nothing wrong. You want to pretend pool is a sport..? ...well this is what you get.

Enjoy

Human error is a thing. Bad calls happen. To pretend it’s not a bad call, is pretty lame. It’s no big deal to me, either way. I just don’t see the point in pretending.

1-1. Pecelj nails a jump shot with perfect position after a Fedor safe. I think Pecelj is going to win this match.

1-1. Paceli nails a jump shot with perfect position after a Fedor safe. I think Paceli is going to win this match.

that wasn't easy getting that good position there, to do it with the jump stick in insane

looking very collected, pecelj

 

[madmartigan]

Is there a free stream anywhere?

It’s early granted, but those two racks were beautiful pool.

Aleksa showing off his jump skills in front of Gorst-Jumps a long 1 gets nice position on 2. Now leads 2-1
He is fearless unfazed hungrier than Gorst and is breaking good. I will be surprised if he loses to Gorst

Probably boiling down to semantics really. I reserve "bad call" for when the refs don't do their jobs correctly. In this case he did exactly what he should have done and focused completely on the 8. 8 moves = foul. Obviously there were other factors at play in this situation that very rarely occur. In fact I don't think I've seen something like that happen before.

So rather than "bad", I'll stick with unfortunate

3-1. I had to stop watching a bit. Did Aleska run a 2 pack?

 

[Lightnin']

Little Ko seems to have Filler's number. Might be the only player on the planet who can say that.

...and maybe the dragon Raga! ; )

 

[skogstokig]

3-1. I had to stop watching a bit. Did Aleska run a 2 pack?

yes. 3-pack now.

i like his pace. never in threat of the shot clock

That Kid is my pick to take the tournament.

 

[skogstokig]

5-1. would be nice to have TPA scores, i think hes 1.000?

 

[Kickin' Chicken]

didnt do my homework; can this be seen free or is it a pay view now?

 

[The_JV]

That Kid is my pick to take the tournament.

Impressive call... ....4 days ago...lol

 

[Black-Balled]

They spelled it just like he pronounces it.

That want I was thinking.

I think whoever typed it out couldn't understand more than half of what he said.

Not as bad as daz though!

Tons of empty seats Players are warming up.

Was surprising to see so many empty at the beginning. Assigned seating on the last day. Has been progressively filling between the racks. I do know that the day was sold out, so it's a matter of people not showing.

 

[straightline]

Pretty sure the overhead shot showed the 8 ball move as well. Whether or not the 8 moved is where the ref's focus should be placed. It moved, so the call was made. How does the ref determine the movement was due to the ball settling and not being struck..?

We want this game to be faster. Unless we want them to take longer.

The call was what it was. Nothing subjective about it

Irrefutable bad call. Frame by frame, zero movement. The "ditto" reflection stayed put in all viewings. Full screen 1080p shows an apparent 1/4" clearance to the hit.

 

[skogstokig]

5-3, fedor mounting a comeback. very high quality of play, so far.
