From matchroompool.comHave the prize money payouts been posted yet?
Nope...Kaci ran the set out on him playing 10-ballAlex did not make a single ball the entire set .. must the first for him
Nope. Wouldn't even cover Matchroom's staffing costs. That's a 1.0~1.2M show we are watching there. The 40 - "Dead Money" types only make a small dent. They probably spent more that that on Airfare from England.Matchroom is not a sponsor, they're a promoter, yes, they NEED the dead money entry fees, where else do you think the prize money is going to come from, Matchroom?
I concur. Colour is the correct color.Where's Martin Scorsese? This is perfect!
The Colour of Yorkshire Pudding. (note that colour is spelled correctly)
Act 1:
Young Judd, raised in England, is torn from his ancestral home by the death of his mother. Forced to live with his estranged father in West Virginia, Judd is distressed to learn that his father is doing poorly, and may lose his farm.
Act 2:
Young Judd (picture Mr. Bean in the role) sees an ad for a US Open pool tournament with $100,000 as prize money. This is more than enough to save his father's farm. Young Judd has played snooker and decides to enter the tournament.
Act 3:
Young Judd wins his first few matches, and then runs against Macbeth, a famous Scottish player known for his temper and his peg leg and eye patch. Macbeth angrily berates the referee for not cleaning the balls properly. "Out damned spot"
and he humiliates Young Judd on the table, beating him 11-1.
Act 4:
Young Judd is now on the B-side, but does nothing but practice and practice. Young Judd starts beating his opponents on the B-side, and wins his way to the semi-final where again he faces the dreaded Macbeth.
Act 5:
I'm glad someone else noticed. The state of pro players in the USA is very sad indeed. This event, the parts that I have watched, feels like an event not staged in the US.48 players left. By my count 6 North Americans, 11 Asians, 28 Europeans, plus a few I wasn’t sure about.
Pretty sad for USA.
Yeah, I wish the US were more competitive. But the remaining field sort of represents the upper echelon of the Top 100 of Fargo players. Maybe the Asian contingent is a little underrepresented. If Shane retires, we don't have anyone in the top 20. Or 30. (Not counting Dechaine).I'm glad someone else noticed. The state of pro players in the USA is very sad indeed.

This is spot on. Dead money is less than tip money at the end of the day. It don’t hurt, but is not anything meaningful or bankable.Nope. Wouldn't even cover Matchroom's staffing costs. That's a 1.0~1.2M show we are watching there. The 40 - "Dead Money" types only make a small dent. They probably spent more that that on Airfare from England.
Dead money is what makes up the prize fund. 240 players x $750 = $180,000 from players entry fees, $120,000 added, collected from all the vendors, including Diamond. Then Matchroom sells the streamed content to 14 other subscription streaming platforms around the world for $Millions, DAZN is just one of those platforms. That's what promoters do, they don't sponsor the events.Nope. Wouldn't even cover Matchroom's staffing costs. That's a 1.0~1.2M show we are watching there.

They would be competitive if they had Jackpots.We aren’t competitive , just merely hosts for a event
Your math is suspect...like your rail delivery. Dead Money = Approximately 40 (thumb suck of all the sub 750 Fargos) x $750 = 30K. Still only 2.5% of 1.2Meg. Everyone else has a viable chance. The "Dead Money" is rounding error.Dead money is what makes up the prize fund. 240 players x $750 = $180,000 from players entry fees, $120,000 added, collected from all the vendors, including Diamond.
