World Cup of Pool
Anyone watching this on Sky Sports ?
With so much else on - mainly rugby and cycling - I've been dipping in and out but it's a terrific tournament
9 ball pool
32 national teams of 2 players who play a doubles match, first to 7 wins, straight knock out
We've had the 16 first round games and now it's the last of the 8 round 2 games with England 'B' playing the Philippines As host nation England gets to put an A and a B team in
Each match last about an hour to 90 minutes depending on the score
The 8 quarter finalists will be known after the current match........quarter finals tomorrow where the matches are extended to 'first to 9 (I think)
Just a shame there's so much else on 'cos i could have really watched most of this !......:)

Always enjoy watching the pool but the one very disappointing thing has been the venue and crowds. No exaggeration but the afternoon matches this week were played in front of about a dozen people.
I have to agree, i've been watching the tournament all week and the afternoon crowds have been very sparse, which surprises me as its been free to watch the afternoon match's, whereas evening sessions have been £10 ( naturally this weekend its £7.50 afternoon, £12.50 evening ).
I don't think people have the same interest in a 'standard' pool tournament they way they do a Mosconi Cup.
Now England B are on the hill
yeah........it was close
both teams were making mistakes which led to an exciting final
I think I'll watch out for these Pool tournaments on Sky 'cos I've really enjoyed this despite constant flicking around other events as well. There's been too much on this week !
Mosconi Cup next..........
