All I get on that link is the "Sorry this content isn't available right now" message.

Working perfectly here. Have you gone to their Facebook page? Right there on the side by Videos it has a big red "live" notification. all you do is click.

I'm just speculating as to why American players aren't entering the event given it's stature, good rule set, good money, etc, but I have a feeling it has a lot to do with the location. It's awfully expensive to travel and stay in NYC for a week when you don't have sponsors or a national government to foot the bill.

I'll call BS on the cost... bodegas on every street corner near Steinway's and dozens of Airbnb rooms available for $35-50 a night in Queens right now.

pretty much this. and I will say this, maybe Appleton should consider contacting The Spot in Nanuet. It is in Rockland county(at most a half hour ride from NY) and much better prices for hotels if costs are really that bad. not to mention all pro cut diamond tables there.
 
I wouldn't have thought cost either but wouldn't be surprised if the avg player doesn't even know of air bnb and/or how to figure out a plan to reduce expenses or even figure out the subway from queens, lol
 
The Pagulayan/Bergman match, being played now, was on stream for about a game, then froze. Anyone find it playing anywhere now?

Edit -- I can see from the comments being made om Facebook that the match is proceeding and some people can see it on stream. I can't get it to play.

For me, that goes to Game 2 with Pagulayan on the 2-ball and freezes. Over and over.

I don't know why. I just right click on the video and select show video URL. then I copied and pasted.

Bergman just sank the 8 to go up 7-4. Great commentary from first Melling and then Peach. Lerner is lousy.
 
Dennis and the rack!

Well by golly. Melling in the booth keeps saying Dennis clearly doesn't know the racking rules. Does any one really think Dennis does not know the rules the tournament has on racking ?

Putting a bunch of solids on the bottom of the rack and not alternating stripes and solids. I wish Corteza would call him on it. Dennis needs a ref to keep an eye on him.

Why would some one who shoots as good as Dennis disrespect the game he makes a living at and do it to a fellow countryman?

I think I know the answer.........

If anyone has found a live stream to today's matches, could you please post the link. Since they got away from the PPV and went with the UNILAD/Facebook approach starting with the 2nd tournament, this has been a complete cluster f&*k. Lack of outrage further indicates the apparent fading interest in this series.

In my opinion there's a lack of outrage because there is little to be outraged about. If you follow the World Pool Series, Unilad Sport, and Unilad on facebook and get notifications when they go live there are literally free streams to watch all day long that you can get right on your phone.
