You're doing a better job then the team updating Matchroom's website Live Scores...lol
Yeah, at that level, slopping in the 9-ball or any ball for that matter should not count.This is why you need call 9 ball.
Agreed. The level of play may have been lower than we've ever seen at this event, but the drama was real and Matchroom provided many thrills.Kudos to Matchroom and all the players involved in this World Cup! I found it very entertaining.
Plenty of other balls slopped in in this event but nobody complains till the finalsYeah, at that level, slopping in the 9-ball or any ball for that matter should not count.
How much was first and second?
Matchroom is always good money. No entry and maybe travel expenses taken care of too.
Germany won despite GB getting 2 extensions per rack.
Exactly right. Josh Filler's match at the 2020 DCC Bigfoot with Lee Van Corteza was, arguably, decided by two fluked ten balls by Lee in the last few racks. Perhaps the rolls that cost Josh back then were paid back in spades today by the pool gods. Credit to Filler for acknowledging his good luck today and showing great sportsmanship in apologizing to Appleton and Boyes in the post-match interview, but as Albin Ouschan noted, that's nine ball.Plenty of other balls slopped in in this event but nobody complains till the finals![]()
So Koniar broke the first game and scratched, how is it okay that he just shot that kick on the two? Wouldn’t it be his partner’s shot?
spartan is correct. The non-breaking team could choose either player to take the first shot of the game for their team. It then alternated within that game. What you saw with Koniar shooting twice in a row for his team happened many times in these matches.I am guessing only breaks are rotated across racks. Other shots are rotated within each rack
No, who broke the next game was not determined by who made the 9-ball. Breaks were alternated within each team. So if Joe and Sam were a team, and Sam made a 9-ball, the breaker for the next game was not necessarily Joe. It was Joe only if Sam was the most recent breaker for their team, no matter how many games ago that was.I think it was a mistake that didn’t get noticed. All the other matches the shots have been rotated. Guy who makes the 9 ball doesn’t break etc.
I hope the players were not responsible (under penalty of a foul) for remembering who was supposed to break next.spartan is correct.

The refs would tell the players who should break next if they asked. In the matches I watched, no out-of-order foul occurred on the break. However, an out-of-order foul was committed by Corrieri in the Round 1 match of Italy vs. Spain. Corrieri broke dry, Alcaide pushed, Italy returned it to Spain, Alcaide slopped in the 2-ball, and Sanchez-Ruiz played safe. Then Corrieri shot for Italy when it was Petroni's turn. Spain took ball in hand and ran out the game, but they lost the match.I hope the players were not responsible (under penalty of a foul) for remembering who was supposed to break next.
There was a comment that Team X kept choosing Player Y to shoot the hard shots, which I didn't understand at the time. With the non-breaking team having the choice of order, I can see how that would be possible.
I wonder if the shooting order on a pushout in pairs play is specified somewhere in writing. A "you shoot it" after a pushout in pairs competition can be considered either passing the shot to the other player of the pair or having the pusher shoot again. For singles the problem isn't apparent unless you are counting innings.The refs would tell the players who should break next if they asked.
