World Cup of Pool

[gopi-1]

It was a great tournament! Matchroom's got it right. Racking the nine on the spot works. You must run out and every rack is vitally important. One mistake can be costly. 9-Ball works in this format.

Special congratulations to Team Philippines and also to Team Holland, who had to beat some damn good teams to get to the finals. Team Philippines had an amazing match with Team Taiwan in the semis, two heavyweights punching it out. It was great TV! It would even play in the USA if any channel would show it. Pool does work on TV, contrary to what some people think. It's a great TV sport.

You have my blessing to sell the TV rights to this one Jay!

This match is contender for best match of tourney together with USA-Japan match. Scratch by Lee van on break resulted in 5 uninterrupted BNR by Taiwan to tie 7-7. Then Ko returns back favor by scratching on break also and next time they stood up it was to shake hands. Taiwan had best BNR game doing similar thing to Appleton/ Boyes.

What would be funny and strange but likely thing to happen is this pair staking their shares of the prize in a race to 21 10 ball match in Manila.
