The World Championship tournament starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday. Kozoom will be streaming it live, but you have to buy a membership. There are two players representing the US. Pedro Piedrabuena plays Gerhard Kostistansky of Austria at 4 AM PDT, and Jae Hyung Cho plays Ahn Vu Duong of Vietnam at 7 AM.

The complete schedule is here: http://www.umb.org/ausschreibung/upload/results/197/C. Time Table.pdf

If anyone finds any free streams, please let us know.

That's what I read on the tournament's web site:
Dion Neline replacement for Jae Ho Cho
The Dane will replace Dion Neline Jae Ho Cho at the World Cup that starts Wednesday. The 30-year-old Korean has called in sick to the world association. Dion Neline was the first reserve.
He finds himself in a tough group with Filippos Kasidokostas and Michael Nilsson, which right now may be called group of death.

Is it one and the same player, Jae Hyung Cho and Jae Ho Cho? Seems not because Neline was placed in other group?

Yes, that seems to work in the US. I'm sorry about thinking one needed a Kozoom membership. I hope I didn't scare people away.:frown:

For me was the same. I thought you need to pay to see live streams of kozoom. but looks like they have free streams on big tournaments with not so good quality.
 
Wow !!!!

Dick Jaspers has just set a new world record with an average of 4.363 !!!!!

Well done on a great Gabriels table :)

On the other table, Kasodikostas is eliminated by Dion Nelin... So the reigning champion is out

The venue is great, the tables are great, the players are great... such a promotion for billiards, in this tiny dutch village named Sluiskil :)
More action to see at the respective live streams

Hmmm. some people doubt that this is a world record.... can someone help us out?
 
I can't get the video? Using Windows Media Player. Is there another player I should be using?

Wikipedia states that Torbjorn scored 50 points in 9 innings in 2000, which would be a higher average than Jaspers.

I think that was not in a World Championship. The best reference for this is the new Encyclopedia by Haase and Weingartner which lists all of the World, European, German and Austrian championships in carom. From that, which is current through 2008 for the W-C-3C, we have the progression for best single average (I may have left out some steps):

1.562 1948 Fuentes (Uru) Buenos Aires
2.068 1963 Ceulemans (B) Neuss
2.500 1966 Ceulemans (B) Lima
3.333 1998 Jaspers (NL) Reze-les-Nantes
3.461 2005 Sanchez (E) Lugo (45 in 13 innings)

I was lucky enough to be present for the last game (Sanchez vs. de Bruijn) which was in the finals of the championship. All of the scoring shots in that match are available in this video on Youtube.

We also have: 6.000 2000 Zanetti (I) St. Etienne, but this was over only two sets and I think it included a run of 15. (30 points in 5 innings)

I assume this was 48 in 11 innings, which means he probably lost one set 15-3. Depending on whether you round or not, it could be 4.364. ....
I see now from the story on Kozoom that Sidhom from Egypt lost that match with a 2.600 average (26 in 10) -- tough luck. The Kozoom story has Jaspers' average wrong.
 
The UMB website has the results. On www.umb.org go to Calendar/Results on the left-side menu and then pick the tournament. Here are the top 20 from the final ranking:
CropperCapture[17].jpg
Not advancing from the preliminary rounds were six players with averages over 1.500: Coklu, Rudolph, Caudron, Nilsson, Bury and Cenet. The first two had averages over 1.700. Tough competition. Also, note that Marco Zanetti had a one-game average over 4. That was 45 in 11 innings against Coklu who averaged 2.555. They were in Group J in the preliminaries.
