Right on their Facebook page. Their stream has been the usual opening day failure. Might check back tomorrow.
Very weak field.

There was a Chris Stapleton concert at the casino just prior. So they lost one day from the WPBA event because of it. That meant they couldn’t get merch shipped to event ahead of time. I believe that factored into their day one streaming technical difficulties. And it meant compressing matches into a denser schedule with some later than usual matches (still playing at 1 AM).
There were a few good matches today, not bad for a free Facebook stream.
I was there in person for a bit yesterday with my 9-year old daughter. We watched Kelly play Joanne Ashton and only make a single mistake the entire match. She broke and ran just about every rack. Two stroked every shot. And really made the game look easy. She honestly looked like Filler at his best. She couldn’t bring that to every match but it was insane.

I miss seeing villarreal and corr. They disappeared. Allison is still pretty active. She tested positive for covid just before this tourny, hence why she's not playing.

I haven't seen Margaret Fefilova play a whole lot but she has some serious skills. She didn’t play her best the last two matches, but she was running over people before that, including Jennifer Baretta. Her composure, technique, patterns and overall ability definitely impressed me.
I was curious why I didn’t see Allison’s name among the top finishers. I doubt she’s ever finished out of the top 9 or 13 in over 27 years of WPBA tournament play.
I think Allison has a record for either most pro pool tournament wins or just tournament wins in general in any sport (maybe based on number entered vs total in general). One thing that is an issue on the women's tour is that there is a large gap between maybe the top 4 players that show up in the US events and the other. It makes it very hard for the others to win if any of those top 4 show up, Really it was a two horse race between Fisher and Corr during most of their careers. I mean to be in the top 50 women players in the world, one only has to be a low 600 Fargo which you can find many pool halls that have such player or players in their APA league. That is like playing someone you can give up a 10-5 race to and be even with but you are playing them even races.

she has won over 50 titles. She is still a beast. I played with her last fall and took some videos of her.

You’re being very generous - there are numerous WPBA tour regulars that would have Fargo ratings in the 500’s.
I found the seedings bizarre for the recent WPBA tournament. It meant virtual free money for some players and rough draws for others. For example Jasmin being seeded 9th and facing Kelly in the third round was very odd.
As was Kaylee being seeding 29th, when she is far stronger (higher Fargo) than some players in the top ten seeds.

If your referring to her WPBA titles, she's actually won over 60! that record won't be broken any time soon!
Was nothing bizarre about it. They use their own rankings and not Fargocrap. Just less accumulated "tour" points over the rolling timeframe. She has had a couple of high finishes but then a lot of no shows (competing on dancing with the stars, covid, and a couple of quick outs).
The YTD seedings and points are on their website.
Ah so they use the attendance record in order to calculate seedings. Fargo is pretty good actually, but I do understand that when people are lower than what their ego thinks it is, they generally say Fargo is crap.
