World Games, 2013, Colombia

[Bob Jewett]

There are some results up from the World Games. See
http://worldgames2013.sportresult.com/NH/en/300/Comp/DetailedScheduleByDate?sportCode=BI

In what seems like a strange result, Rudolph beat Forthomme 40-40. Rudolph was credited with 2 penalty points to Forthomme's 1, so I guess they are playing equal innings and break shots if tied. The overall format seems to be single elimination with 40-point matches.

The bracket is available at:

equal innings indeed

A rather spectacular ending to that match: Forthomme finishes and Rudolph still needs 6. He runs 1,2,3,4,5, misses and turns around to shake hands, then hears ooohs and aaahs from the crowd: he's fluked the point from two more rails. Penalty shots: first time, they both run 2. Second time: RF 1, CR 2.

tnx

I looked for one and couldn't find anything.

I did find info about a stream for all of the ultimate flying disk (frisbee) matches. It seems that someone raised $15k to privately fund them.

Colombian TV may cover some of the carom matches.

Here is what appears to be an official site, but no carom: http://tv.theworldgames2013.com/

This channel had a stream of the Zanetti - Rudolph match earlier today (after the frisbee match). It all seems rather random: no coverage of Jaspers - Hofman (34 - 40 in 20) or Sidhom - Merckx (27 - 40 in 24). Semi's tomorrow: Zanetti - Kim and Hofman - Merckx.

Marco Zanetti wins the gold! Below is the final chart. The bronze-medal match was remarkable in that Hofman won 40-15 in 13 innings. The Zanetti-Merckx match was 16 innings.
