First update just posted for the Quarter Finals at live scoring. Apparently 
only Kuo & Alcano are playing since updates are lagging. Go Johnny!

World Pool Championships - Updates
- Thread starter nathandumoulin
- Start date
Why didn't Lenny stream from Qatar? Why wasn't TAR in qaTAR? How 'bout Big Truck; didn't you have that roadmap on board? lol! just kidding, of course.
I agree wholeheartedly with JB. One of the richest places on the planet hosting a world championship and we have to, in large part, rely on third party texting of results.
As my dear friend, Lucy, once said: "Good Grief". :angry:

ok...strange...
so Johnny was down 4-3 to Sandor Tot. I'm sad. Stuffing face with Ho-Ho's out of depression ensues.
Next update comes out, Johnny is now up 7-5. I'm ecstatic! Stuffing face with twinkies out of joy! With a side of Boone's Farm to wash it down of course.
Third update comes out...Johnny is up 7-4? HUH? Sandor lost a game somewhere?
Now I'm half drunk on bad wine, with a stomach full of fatteningly delicious junk pastries. And am confused beyond all belief.
So let me get this right...They are a World Championship, sanctioned by the World Pool Association. But they have no media coverage, and no live streaming. They have a JANKEY live update screen that can't even get the derned scores right apparently. WTF are they trying to do to the pool playing community that cares about the results from this tournament? Alienate them entirely? In-Ex-Cuseable!

ok...looks like they have updated one of the three matches going. The tables must be at opposite corners of the convention center they are playing in. I mean, how else can you not keep track of the scores for the three remaining tables in a TOURNAMENT?!
Sorry...the Boone's Farm is kicking in. I might have to eat more twinkies to soak it up. Or just find some real high dollar stuff...like Night Train and really indulge.

There must have been a break in the Space - Time Continuum. Time has officially stopped in Qatar. The world waits with bated breath to see what paradox of space will emerge. I, meanwhile, will continue drinking my Night Train, in hopes that I pass out before Cthulu emerges and we all go insane.
You need to turn off their signature
click on User CP > Edit Option and find Thread Display Options section and uncheck Show Signature ..
Ok, enough shennanigans.
Results from the Quarterfinals:
F. Felicilda 5 vs. 11 F. Bustamante
Oliver Medenilla 10 vs. 11 Antonio Lining
Johnny Archer 11 vs. 6 Sandor Tot
Kuo Po Chen 11 vs. 5 Ronato Alcano
This is how the results are listed. Don't know if this is any reflection on how the brackets are.
As far as the video clips, it's a built in part of the sig line for me. I believe there is a way you can turn the sigs off here in the user CP under "edit Options" then scroll down and there should be a dialogue box for "thread display options" In that box is an option checkbox "show signatures" if that is not checked, you won't see all the flash videos and signature lines for all the posts.

Bustamante needs a world title.
Regarding signatures:
It's also possible for each user to elect not to show their signature when they post. I usually uncheck the "Show your signature" option at the bottom of the quick reply box or just under the text box for quoted posts.
When I am posting multiple times to threads like this I will try to be polite (I consider it polite) and not show my signature in every post.
