Live Pool from Great Yarmouth

[bongo]

This weekend (20th-22nd Feb) will see CueSport TV’s first live broadcast of 2009. The Universities Pool Council 8-ball Pool Championships will be streamed live online across all three days.

The tournament is the largest in the University pool calendar and it is anticipated that over 450 budding 8-ball players will be involved in the individual and team championships. The man to beat is CueSport TV regular Richard Wharton who is the defending individual champion and number 1 seed.

For the first time in a live event CueSport TV will be providing live graphical scoring and at least two camera angles to enhance the viewing pleasure. In addition live commentary will be available all weekend from Pete Williams and a selection of the players in the venue.

The event is free to all registered CueSport TV viewers, who will be required to login to the channel in order to watch. Joining CueSport TV is also free and simply requires an email address and password.

This is the first of many live events planned for 2009 from the company as it develops it’s portfolio of quality pool and snooker events.

You need to register at www.cuesport.tv, I tried to but it didn't work... I think they have some problems with people registering if everyone has the same problem so nobody will be watching online.

Cheers, Bongo. I'm already registered and a bit torn between watching this or the snooker, I have to admit! The biggest drawback to watching on cuesport.tv is the commentator, Pete Williams, who is the worst commentator I've ever heard!!! He is truly dreadful! However, with no sound and the way frames can speed by in pool, it's difficult to know what's going on, so you've really got to have the sound on. It's a real dilemma!

When I tried to register a message kept coming up saying '-This field required' or something like that even though I filled in every box. Did it work for you?

Also, what's wrong with Pete Williams?!

They had some problems with internet upload speeds at the venue so unfortunately couldn't broadcast live, but they were all recorded and the matches have started to appear today. Just search for BUCS.

See if you can spot me

Were there any other TSF'ers at this event I wonder? I know we've got a few students here.

I was there as Plymouth A team captain, have been to the previous two venues and this was the best by far. Didn't manage to get on cuesport though, ended up drawing with essex and then losing the 3 frame decider in the last 16. I will be missing University Pool next year..

Doing a Masters is tempting haha!
