US Open hard to watch

If you click on sports, pool, then it shows up...

Could you just provide a direct link to the page you show above? When I go to DAZN.com, on my screen there's no link to Sports or anything but boxing.

EDIT: Never mind, I found it by googling "DAZN U.S. Open pool". But it's crazy that the home page doesn't show it.

I'll throw my 2 cents in and then wait to be murdered. I can barely stand to watch what the game has become. I can only watch certain players. Cookie cutter robots. Everybody with their stupid pre shot routines, walking totally around the table checking a line on every single shot no matter how simple the shot or position. You know where your rock needs to be.......SHOOT THE D***N BALL! Stroking their cue in the air 50x, step into the shot, all looking like snooker players.
It's f****** brutal. No style, flair, individuality. Used to have Keith smoking and sipping a beer. Now we get sissy tight pants and guys sipping on fruit smoothies wearing shirts that look like a NASCAR hood. Folks really think this is better or great? I'm 50 years old now. For 30 of it I've been hearing about this or that to make pool big time. Not going to happen. It's a niche activity. So be it. I love pool and this crap is painful to watch. Tighter pockets doesn't make things better. Not snooker, not meant to be. The cloth is to fast and the balls to reactive. You can fart and send whitey 3 rails. Used to need a stroke to play. AND THE 5 BALL IS ORANGE!!!

Great post as an old school player(62 years of playing) I agree with you.

Is there any way to watch table 1 or table 2? Or is the TV table the only one we get for our money?

Hard to complain from this end, when it's FREE with NO commercials

a pool player finds a way

I'm sorry for all these questions, but do you have any direct links to the live stream matches? Every time I go to FB or youtube I get bogged down with links that lead to paywalls. Why do they have to make it so fucking complicated?

That works fine, but I still can't see any direct link to the facebook table 1 stream.

There are no facebook feeds today. Today starts streaming on Dazn for Us.

DAZN is telling me I am over my device limit and wont let me watch. I only have 3 devices registered and only 1 trying to watch.....

The only facebook page I see is this:

and I still can't find anything but links to prior matches. It's particularly frustrating since table 1 has the match I'm most interested in watching. Is there another URL I should be going to instead?

No FB today. Table 1 should be here

Table 2

.

TV table is DAZN for those in US

I have stated I prefer the traditional colors. But.... the only ones I here complain are us Americans. I dont here the bitching from Europe, Asia, The Philippines, or anywhere else. So drawing a conclusion, these colors are here to stay... at least in most major events.

And when it comes down to it, it's not that difficult to remember "pink 4 and purple 5". It been repeated here by all the haters countless times, and many times in this thread. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out which ball is next. Get over it.... move on.

i guess what ball set they're using is not as big a deal when you have a war raging next door. just glad to see pool, with all countries represented, with audience etc.

i think the purple five is stupid, but the pink four is same as pro cup which we use all over europe. and the new 6-ball is an improvement as bright green stands out more than dark green.

Can't be bothered with names or scores today, wtactualf

Is anyone else finding it hard to watch, no shot clock on the tv table is brutally slow and the purple 5 ball is so distracting.
Everytime I try to watch it gets frustrating,bend down look and stands up 5 or six times or more, walk around the table 3 times on the simplest shots.
Also how can you have a tournament were some players have 1 lose and are eliminated and other 1 lose player is still playing? Why would they want a tournament that could have the whole field have 1 lose but still have a champion? Just when pool seems to be having a resurgence they feel like they have to make changes to me are a negative!

I agree totally, these games without shot clocks are incredibly boring, and hard to watch. The initial idea of nineball was that it was a fast game and easy for the fans to watch, it’s turned out to be exactly the opposite. I don’t expect everyone to shoot as fast as Earl but a 25 second shot clock with one extension PER MATCH would bet a welcome relief!

Yup I'm on YouTube. I don't know who's playing or the score.

I'm totally with you on the changing of the colors of the four and five ball. One of the stupidest things I've ever seen in this sport. I'd like to ask the people responsible for this idiocy if they would also consider changing the colors of the four and five ball in snooker? Of course not! It is only the American game of 9-Ball that they would do something like this with. All that blather about it being done for television is 100% unadulterated BS! Every time I watch a match and see this I am infuriated that they got away with it. Shame on the companies who are making these balls. Over 100 years of tradition thrown in the trash like yesterday's garbage. And only some vague and blithe remarks to explain it away.

I agree with you that MR is doing a lot to grow the sport, but this glaring error needs to be called out again and again!

Well said Jay

Have to read the chat to figure that out. That’s about the only way when there’s no commentary or graphic overlay.

graphic is there for the mario vs chen match
