World Pool Championships 2025, July 21-26, Jeddah

Can I say something?

If a male player was breaking like her, they would be called out for a soft break.
Do they have the 3 points rule in effect?
I think her breaks were not fouls if they did.

Her soft break was her weakness at the women’s 8 ball world championship
 
One thing to add about Albin:
He definitly lost his nimbus of someone you don't want to draw in a tournament.
The SVBs, the Fillers, the Gorsts...they sometimes win matches because of their name. And this helps a lot, especially in the early stages, when you feel jetlagged or you potting or speed control isn't relly there.
I think at the moment there are a lot of second tier players, who feel comfortable playing Albin.
 
Why did no women enter this event?

Is it financial backing...

Based on her shirt, Seoa has a lot of sponsors, including LG!

The 3-point or 3-ball rule is not in effect. Most of her breaks did not satisfy that requirement, with very few balls behind the line.

I think Matchroom needs something clearer than, "You gotta give 'em a good whack."
 
So SVB vs Ko Pon Yi next on table 1
I think it’s going to be Yi for the win
 
Some of the refs have been announcing "ten" and "five" but not in all matches. No beepers yet.
There was no clock on the Seoa/Ouschan main table match, but the Styer/Makkonen match did have the ref announcing ten/five.
 
I signed up...

It still only shows today's matches... I was hoping to see a bracket showing who is all left in, and the path each needed to win it all.
Go to live scores. The hit matches. On the bottom right there is a little red bracket. Hit that and it will show the bracket
