last two years we had a little bit of left field finalists. not super upsets but still, wojciech, tevez, oi.. also the world 9b had soufi. might as well continue, so i pick either quoc hoang or jesus atencio to reach the final

Not sure Quoc Hoang is very left field after his success in Vegas. He had to beat lots of top players as well?
 
Are there multiple tables being streamed for free? How can I figure out who is playing on the free stream?
You look for matches that say Table 1 and Table 2 which are free streams https://cuescore.com/tournament/Predator+World+10-Ball+Championship/20964517

Bracket link takes us to match list. Not brackets.

That's cos those brackets from cuescore are not up yet for some reason https://cuescore.com/tournament/Predator+World+10-Ball+Championship/20964517
When they are ready they will appear as under "BRACKETS" at top of that link https://probilliardseries.com/2023-men/2023-predator-world-10-ball-championship/
Also Predator/CSI always show this match list which is actually linear representation of "brackets. Losers round are those on left of brackets and winners round are to the right of the brackets. Because most folks don't know how to read stage 1 "double elimination" brackets (i.e. those crazy humongous brackets that stretch from left to right). Double elimination is a dead format that very few sports still use these days.
The more common format is round robin table for stage 1
:LOL:
 
is this seeded at all? 4 of those matches are really tough draws
It is seeded but seeding % is low only 16 out of 128 players seeded which is only 12.5% And low number of seeds is not a good thing cos that means more of top players will play each other in first stage
We know as a general rule of thumb that all recent majors have been won by FR800+ players. In this field there are around 2 dozen FR800+ so a better seeding number is 32 players
And that is the benchmark used in tennis grand slams - 32 seeded out of 128
Matchroom on other hand have 4x number of seeds i.e. 64 out of 128 for their recent WPC to minimise number of big name matchups in early round

yea that's way too few seeds. they could have just used their tour rankings or fargorate to seed half the field
 
Well, now more people know him. An apparently ailing Alcaide lost at hill/hill to Alblooshi!
