9-Ball Pool on Live Stream

April 11, 2012 / The_Teach / No comments

It has been a good 6 months since we showed any live 9-ball on Cuesport TV. The last few months have been heavily weighted towards the UK 8-ball disciplines of Blackball and World Rules.

It will be a welcome change for us providing some live 9-ball and I am sure for some of our regular viewers it will also be something different to get your teeth into.

In probably the most poignant event in the GB 9 Ball Tour’s history players will compete in the Paul Medati Trophy, Pro Cup II and the newly named Mark Lovell Challenge Cup.

Sadly Mark, who many on the tour will of course know, lost his battle with cancer in December 2011 at the age of just 54. The tour opted to rename this Challenge Cup event in his honour and it will become a yearly fixture on the GB9 calendar.

Not only is there some fantastic pool on offer but the tour will be doing it’s yearly fund-raising activity for Macmillan Cancer Support.

It is World Number 3, Chris Melling, that will be the man everyone wants to beat as he looks to defend the main event title he won last year. Battling with Melling will be other top names including Daryl Peach, Karl Boyes, Craig Osborne and Imran Majid.

You can watch all of the action live on Cuesport TV from 10:15am on Saturday morning (14th April) and through to around 11pm on Sunday evening (15th April).

The event is PPV and if you buy in advance it will cost just £2.95 for the whole event, the full price is £3.95.

You can buy it from the following link now: GB9 Paul Medati Trophy 2012

6 Great Places to Watch Live Pool (When we’re not streaming)

January 24, 2012 / The_Teach / No comments

There are a number of great people out on the web providing some really good quality live streaming, you may have seen some of them but I hope that some are new to you. However, you are only allowed to watch them when Cuesport TV are not live streaming!

I have not ranked them in order of preference, the list is simply there to make it easier to read:

  1. InsidePool.TV – probably the best pool/billiards magazine on the market, they have been involved with live streaming for a number of years now, they make use of both the Youtube and UStream platforms which makes access very easy.
  2. TheActionReport – They have been doing this since 2007 (about the same amount of time as us!) and the quality has just got better and better over the years, expect multiple camera angles, live commentary, interviews and also a live podcast now as well. Probably the one website that most ‘streamers’ aspire to.
  3. Pool Action TV – Operated by Ray ‘BigTruck’ Hansen PoolActionTV have done a number of differing productions over the last 2 years. Along with regular coverage of Pro/Am events they have also covered the Ultimate 10-Ball Championships and a number of money matches.
  4. OTBNTV -On The Break News operate a number of smaller pool magazines and also got invloved with the live streaming of tournaments from their area a while back. Again utilising the Ustream platform to provide live and VOD coverage.
  5. MaxLeePool – It is great to see someone else trying to push the UK game forward and this site provides live streaming as well as a tour that they operate up in Scotland, great if you are a fan of Blackball or the UK 8-Ball game.
  6. OnTheRail TV – Established in 2008 (07/08 almost seems to be the birth of live streamed pool!) they create high quality match-ups and stream pro-am tournaments from the Arizona region of the US. Many top names have featured including Efren Reyes, Earl Strickland and Darren Appleton with One Pocket seeming to be a speciality.

This is just a small list of live streaming resources, please send me links to other live streaming websites/companies/profiles on the web and I will try and update this list over time. If I have made any glaring errors then please let me know.

Top 5 Most Watched Videos – Quarter Four 2011

January 10, 2012 / The_Teach / No comments

Below you will find our top 5 most watched videos during the final quarter of 2011. Each one will be linked directly to the video on the Cuesport TV website.

Not surprising to be honest that 8-ball pool dominates very heavily in the top 5 list.

1. Richie Oliver v Simon Ward – Welsh Open Final – Takes the top spot for the whole quarter despite only being available since Monday 28th November!

2. European Blackball Championships – Under 23 Singles Final – Part 1 – Good to see the youth getting involved, David Carrie plays Chris Brown.

3. Darren Appleton v Daryl Peach – MMTV 3-Man Team Event – Two World Champions battle it out in a short race in the first MMTV 3-man team event, also the first 9-ball match to feature in the top 5.

4. Dish of the Day – Episode 7 – Gareth Potts – Former WEPF 8-ball World Champion makes it into the list with a nice dish against Oly Bale.

5. Oly Bale v Gareth Potts – Money Match – Part 10 of 10 – Final part of this big money match originally shown live in 2010.

So this is the top 5 according to our statistics but what was your favourite video to watch last year at Cuesport TV?

Set & Ready

November 18, 2011 / The_Teach / No comments

Well GB9′s last event of 2011 started nearly 2 hours ago with the preliminary rounds in the Challenge Cup.

This will be joined by the first round of the Pro event later.

The tour continues to innovate and this time every one of the 16 tables have a laptop to input pigeons results that then pushes data straight put onto the web. There are also auto functions like calling the next matches automatically and ref’s being called to a table at the touch of a button.

It will be interesting to see how it goes down with the playing contingent and if there are any teething problems.

The live coverage from us starts tomorrow at 10.15am after we completed mortal of the setup this afternoon.

Please join us if you can at http://www.Cuesport.tv

Two Upcoming Live Events

November 8, 2011 / The_Teach / No comments

The end of November is our next foray into live web streams for your pleasure.

The first is on the 19th/20th November and is live coverage from the last leg of 2011 GB9 Ball Tour, the event is named the British Grand Prix but will still take place in Daventry.

There is a whisper that the GB9 Main event first prize will increase to £2000.00 next year but nothing as yet has been confirmed. This event though will be fierce as players like Jayson Shaw, Imran Majid, Daryl Peach, Craig Osborne and Chris Melling are all still in with a shout of gaining the coveted top spot on the rankings.

The GB9 Ball Tour pays out £500 bonus to the number 1 ranked player at the end of the year and a further £250 bonus to the player ranked number 2.

Our second event in November is the return of the Welsh 8-Ball Festival to your screens, we first covered this event back in 2009 but missed it last year due to prior commitments.

It will be great to be back as this really is a fantastic event held at Trecco Bay Holiday Park. There will be around 200 players converging on the venue across the five days and Cuesport TV will be on hand to cover the last 3 days. This will mean coverage from the Men’s and Women’s singles, the team event and the Junior finals.

Live Event Payment Pages:

GB9 British Grand Prix

Welsh Festival of Pool

You can get £1.00 off each of these live streams by entering the code: NOV2011
