Nope, couldn't find it there.
I’m on mobile now but I think the player contract was near the players list. It’s definitely worth reading imo. I hope Matchroom keeps to it, and comes down with an iron fist on rule violations imo.
CTEJohn Barton would play Wu Jiaqing in a 2nd round tilt, if JB can win his first match.
why????
Just looks really bad!!!!
if you believe in Fargo then having one bracket filled with top players is far from fair

How can it be ok for such HUGE difference in rank? Like I said, 45/35 is Siming fargo rate and her seeding is 86 more than double!I think it is not unreasonable to reward activity—showing up for high level events. I think the idea of balancing active head-to-head results and demonstrated performance is a good one. It is possible to do it a little more elegantly, and we have some ideas, but I think the spirit of what matchroom is doing is fine.

Fargo rank for Orcollo is 5 and his seeding is 28 and roughly 5 times worse than it should be! He plays in a ton of tournaments and I just don't buy the excuse....
It is obvious! They play down to top 32 then single elimination stages! With this set up it stacks the deck for some players to the 32 stage! Look at the field for the top and bottom bracket compared to the middle and tell me that this is fair!

Who is he? Hulk hogan was the best and randy macho man! This illustrates my point! Claim he is the best and history does not even know who he is!!!
She would have been better off!
This is the reason for a true draw with no seeding!
I appreciate the discussion! What is done is done! Just sad to see history repeats itself over and over again! Back in the upa days to cup selection scheninigans the billiard industry keeps shooting itself in the foot for god knows what?
Playing nick nack patty whack , give a dog a bone!!!

Based on the seeding! SHAW AND SVB have super soft brackets!Keep in mind, this is ah first for Matchroom, an American 9 ball tournament.
Matchroom cut their chops on Snooker, and they still don't have that figured out 100%. Us American pool players should be thankful for our cueists over the pond.
This is a starting point, one to be learned from or not. It took Matchroom 17 years before it made a profit on the Mosconi Cup.
Seeding would have been the use of Fargo 100%!Major tennis events have been seeding fields FOREVER. Look, its a game/sport AND entertainment. If you're the promoter and you want viewers(live or broadcast) seeding helps insure it. It helps, not guarantees,to get better players in the later rounds. You'll still have early-round upsets but hopefully you'll get the big-boy mega matches as the event goes on.
Hey, you're welcome to start/promote/produce you're own event. Good luck with that. This is pro pool's last shot in this country.BH's track record speaks for itself. Give them time to get this train moving.Seeding would have been the use of Fargo 100%!
That means that a tough road for Shaw and SVB was averted ...
Because neither is ranked Number one or two!
They went even further by stacking softer USA ranked players and putting international players in separate brackets!
Then if someone wins it is going to be with a BIG asterisk!

Have you voiced your opinion/theory to MR directly? They are pretty good about replying. I'd be curious to hear their response. If you FB just search "us open 9ball" or Matchroom sport either one.It is not that simple!
Money is involved and it is gambling!
Those players paid to play and deserve a fair shake!
Might as well call it a show versus a sport if this is how it is going to be! Like ringling Bros says "the greatest show on earth "
