The photo Emily Frazier posted really was a joke when she posted "New TV table"?

All the tables, including the main one, are gray. The CPBA gray is somewhat different than Simonis. I like it better.

I am astonished so many people thought she was serious. No way, no how, MR was going to go pink. Hah!

BTW, Matchroom moved to a new platform with WNT.TV. It is much, much better than the crappier, original one. Faster, cleaner, better FF/RW controls, ability to start from the beginning. I like it.

To each his own. Not only is it pool, it's pool in the cauldron of fire. I like seeing players who normally agonize over shots freewheel instead and let their inner pool monkeys just make the shots. Joe Prince had a 38-second runout last week that was a masterclass.

And the equipment is getting to be top-notch. Brunswick is really honing that table, and the 4.25" pockets are no joke. Now if they would just make the tables in, say, Alabama, I'd be all over one.

Meh...batboxes are for kids and drunk adults.
 
Again…….

The pink table is OUTSIDE the main hall. It is for spectators or anyone else to put their marker for next up and to screw around.

ALL 28 competition tables and the half-dozen or so practice tables inside the main hall are grey.

I think people who care about the game care.

The color in the photo suggests a home table situation where the wife said, "Sure, you can have a pool table... but the cloth has got to match the drapes."

We're talkin' about it but for all the wrong reasons.

Gated over 55 community in Florida. The pool rooms are designed most by non playing women. One room had a dark spruce like cloth with 25 watt bulbs. I needed a white cane to play. My current community had dark blue cloth with 35watt bulbs above the table ..the side pockets blended into the rails. And stop calling me Shirley...

So I can catch up on all of the streams? Now I'm sold. My main criticism before was that I could only watch the matches live until they were a day old.

Yep. We no longer have to wait for the streams to be posted hours later or the next day. It's all right there.

Still some little things I would like to see improved upon, but now viewers have full control over what they watch and when.
 
I just noticed the new WNT TV platform lacks multi-table viewing. I would imagine that it will be added back soon, but it's a very nice feature to have.

WNT TV did add a live chat option, but it's not something I typically bother with.

Yes people want to see reactions in the players playing the game....not robots.

Matchroom is the best we have and sure there is a ton of tournaments. Matchroom owns US pool so they have made whatever changes they like....but that doesn't mean I have to like everything.

The short races with shootouts that Predator does are lame.

The timed speed pool on barboxes that Ultimate Pool does is not pool.

Well the majority says otherwise, you are in the minority. The rest of the pool world could only hope to have growth like UPL.

Maybe they will try Zebra striped cloth soon, I heard it helps keep the flies confused.

We had time to kill between wedding festivities a few years back, found a bar with a table to shoot some pool, they had pink/black zebra patterned cloth, it made it really tough to play on. We ended up finding a different bar. I think it was a holiday, we were minutes from Romines but they were closed. I was so disappointed, its an hour from home and I don't get down there often.

In Chrome browser, there is a Split View capability enabling you to display two web pages side-by-side within a single browser window. You can activate it quickly by right-clicking an open tab and selecting Add Tab to new split view or by dragging a tab or link to the window's edge. Just pull up WNTtv.com in two tabs in the Chrome browser. Right click one of the tabs and drag it down below. Voila! Two different tables.

fewer and fewer people are hogging around a computer to watch this stuff.. if you find out how to make the stream "floating" (over other apps) on an android let me know. it was possible before the new platform
