Canada vs Sweden on going

3 - 3 at the moment

Alex Pagulayan making tough shots but losing control of the cue ball A LOT. Morra saving him with good safeties. Sweden was up 3-0 at the start.
 
Canada vs Sweden 4 all.

Sweden was on the table shooting the 8 with a sharp cut on the corner pocket but Chamat bobbles it. Cue ball ran around and almost nudged it in. Canada got in and sank the rest to tie it 4 all.

Where can we watch this at? Is there a free stream?

What are the rules/format?
Click to expand...

I do not know of any live streams.....but I believe Solar Sports is televising it live so if you can find their stream somewhere...let us know.

As for the format, I believe it is the same as last year so

race to 8 (actually race to x is mentioned in the program see above, races get longer in the later stages), winner breaks with 35sec shotclock
single knockout. Otherwise essentially just doubles with alternate shots.
 
Canada now leads 5-4

Alex not controlling cue ball very well in this match. Morra is solid.

Morra breaking... Illegal break. Sweden given control of the table.

Safety battle. Alex flukes in the 7 coming off the 3. Canada runs the rest out. Canada 6 - 4 Sweden
 
Sweden on the table looking to run out. But overcuts the 7 and it bobbles the cornerpocket. Morra on the table and tries to cut the 7 in, MISS! Chamat on the table and tries to make the 7 with a rail first shot. MISS! Alex cuts it in, makes it! Canada cleans out. 7 - 4 Canada
 
if you look at his location, he is in Philippines....so on location or on television there
 
Sweden breaking, makes the 1, no shot for 2. Chamat pushes out and dares Canada for a long straight shot at the 2. Canada gives it back. Chamat goes safe, Morra coutner safe, sells out. Sweden runs out. 7 all
