No confetti ???
What kind of table is that? I have never seen a Diamond that looked anything like that.
Not this guy
spectators dont want to see a shot clock as they become part of the pressure of a clock on each shot.
of course it will make them speed up play but changes the game. and players will now just use every bit of the time allowed so it may not speed up play anymore .
just have the players play faster or they get penalized and forfeit their matches. try that first and see if it solves the issue. dont you think if they are told to speed up they will or lose their match will work.
and tell the slow players in advance they should not come if they dont play a so called normal speed.
all it takes is a t.d. that runs things properly.
I have watched ultimate pool league and it begs for sandbagging. The clock is the weak players only strength.have you watched any of the ultimate pool USA? their shot clock go down to 15 seconds when 20 minutes of the match has passed
Matchroom seems to be doing OK, business-wise. I heard that they are a billion-dollar company now. Of course that's mostly boxing and darts, but pool made them about $2,000,000/year in profit the last report I saw.... good business people have never run pool. some make money in spite of themselves though. and keep doing what they do as the participants don't react.
Is that the guy, who got to world final against Sanchez Ruiz? A couple years ago.have you watched mohammed soufi play? he's very entertaining
anyway. matchroom, or predator for that matter, should have a special event with a short shot clock. see how it lands.
Its also a spectacle, a show. Matchroom has just started with pool. It took over 20 years to get darts, where it is today. The fact, its fast paced game also helps, just like in pool, you do get the slower ones.And even further down the chain, I’m often envious of the dart league players who are done with all their matches while our pool league play has “just” started.
Matchroom runs the main darts pro format (pdc) so I have confidence they can transfer some of that skill to pool.

They copied….but protected themselves….What kind of table is that? I have never seen a Diamond that looked anything like that.
Ultimate Pool is gimmicky, but is entertaining to watch. Be interesting to see a pro event on 9 foots with a similar setup.
