WOO HOO!!!!!
Earl just came back from trailing 0-5 with 9 straight racks (not all run outs) to win 9-5! He looked great towards the middle of the match. Getting out of line here and there, but like the old Earl, not taking much time and keeping his pace and timing up just playing!! Classic Earl!! Even without the temper outbursts and other side show stuff, because of the way he plays, he's probably the most entertaining player in the world to watch!

I am confused
No big deal but did all the people who posted from thread 742 on read post 741 that showed the play by play games of Earl's victory? All the following threads then seem like replays and nobody realizes the results are in snapshot thread an hour or so ago. Just curious how that happened.

Looks like I missed the good stuff from Earl.
I was too tired to watch last night after 2 all-nighters, plus I went out to play some 9ball myself. I did wake up briefly to see Tan whupping Earl & decided to just go back to sleep. Then I miss this mornings play completely.
I really don't like the later start times.

On a side note, things are brewing behind the scenes as the Philippines vs.
Taiwan rivalry is getting into gear. Here's an article about a li'l side action
that just happened between the 18 year old Taiwanese phenom, Wu Chia-
Ching and up-and-coming Pinoy player Lee Vann "Van-Van" Corteza. Read on...
Corteza downs Wu for $3,000 side purse
Inquirer - Last updated 03:48am (Mla time) 11/06/2007

Manila, Philippines -- Reigning National Open Champion Lee Vann Corteza
beat 2005 World Pool titlist Wu Chia-ching of Taiwan, 15-10, in their
10-ball match to pocket $3,000 at the One Side billiard hall in Malate,
Manila, late Sunday.
"Yes, I beat Wu Chia-ching in 10-ball," said Corteza, the top player of
Negros Billiard Stable and one of seven Filipino cue masters who advanced
to the last 64 after the second day of the World Pool Championship at the
Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
"Kasama yan [money game] sa training natin eh [that money game is part
of our training]," said the 28-year-old Corteza, who is guaranteed a $2,000
purse for advancing to the knockout stage.
After an opening 7-9 setback to Serbia's Goran Mladenovic, 7-9, Corteza
bounced back by demolishing Taiwanese Pei Wei Chang, 9-4, and American
Jeremy Jones, 9-4, last Sunday.
Unlike Corteza, Asian Games silver medalist Jeffrey "Bata" de Luna ended up
on the short end of his duel with reigning US Open 9-ball champion Shane
Van Boening, 21-13, and blew away $1,000 at the Bugsy billiard hall in
Quezon City.

Does anyone know how to watch the matches on a broken computer? Mine is about to take a trip throught he window! 
Seriously, I cannot get Sopcast to work. Everytime I click on the channel the next page tells my I have not downloaded the player. I have downloaded about three different things about ten times a piece. I registered and everything-it just won't play. Pop-up blocker is off. I was able to get Tvu or whatever it is called to work. Thanks if anyone can help me out. I just don't know if there is something I am missing here.

I'd like to note that I like this format much more than the round robin race to five format.
If you lose two of three races to nine, you're out. As far as I'm concerned, that's ample opportunity to show your stuff. In the old format, somebody who went 3-4 invariably got through to the knockout stage while someone who went 4-3 was invariably eliminated in round robin play. The racks won tiebreaker always exposed the event to players "doing business" with each other, but in this format, winning your matches is the only thing that matters, and I like that a lot.
This format is a big improvement, and I'd like to praise the tournament organizers for a superb format. The last 64 will have all earned their spots the hard way, winning two races to nine against world class players.
