| | World 10-Ball & World Pool Championships & The State of Philippine Billiards! | | 2008-07-15 11:46:53 | | I received a ton of emails In less than 2 hours of posting my thoughts on Alex Pagulayan’s decision to file a libel suit against the Billiards and Snooker Congress of the Philippines (BSCP). Post is here, friends. Most wanted to know how such will affect the state of the sport in the country. And a number have expressed concerns about the upcoming World 10-Ball Championships and the possible staging of the World Pool Championships (WPC) here in the Philippines. From what I could gather and all, here are more developments, everyone! Even before Alex Pagulayan, aka The Lion, filed the lawsuit, Filipino pool players Efren Bata Rreyes, Francisco Django Bustamante, Alex Pagulayan, and Ronnie Alcano announced that they will boycott the inaugural staging of the World 10-Ball Pool Championships slated for September 2008 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.

| | Dorset Championships results | | 2008-06-08 04:36:00 | | We made it to Dorset after a VERY late submission of our entry forms. It's quite a drive from where we live, and my wife decided to use that excuse to take the whole family down to stay in a hotel which meant we were better rested before arriving for weigh in on the Sunday. The competition was as big as I'd expected - there were something like 300 competitors there and the place was packed out. The competition was confined to a single large hall, but the sports centre had people wandering around in Doboks & sparring gear just about everywhere you turned.James didn't fare very well at this one unfortunately - he seemed to be phased by the size of his opponent who was a fair bit bigger than him. He also seems to have a bad habit of looking at the scoreboard, or at me throughout the round. Had some harsh words with him about that! He lost by a single point, and I'm sure we can get a better performance next time from him.I fared slightly better winning my first bout with a technical kn | | By: Tomcat's Taekwondo | | |

Apparently there's a patterns competition on the 31st May (the day before). Can't wait for this one - missed it last year due to family commitments.

Then Jeev had a terrible tee shot on 17th to bogey the hole and that saw them finish in a tie, leading to a play-off.This was the second runner-up finish for Jeev, who was also second at the Astro Enjoy Indonesia Open four weeks ago.Jeev and McDowell, who shared the lead overnight, shot six-under 66 to finish the regulation 72 holes in 24-under 264 sending the clash in a play-off. After halving two play-off holes, Jeev missed a short putt and lost as McDowell picked his first title in four years.Jyoti Randhawa (67) finished tied 11th while Gaurav Ghei (72) was 57th.It was the fifth European Tour in succession in which Indians had at least one player in top five.

| | Cancun's Atlante Wins Mexican Championships | | 2007-12-09 19:55:00 | | Atlante won the Mexican Apertura championships thanks to a 2-1 win tonight against UNAM Pumas in the final leg of the home-and-away final series. The Cancun side clinched the game in the 86th minute on a Golazo from Clemente Ovalle. The 25 year old defender struck the ball from about 20 meters, sending it off the underside of the bar. Seventeen minutes earlier, Pumas had tied the game up after Atlante had struck first in the 59th minute. The first leg at Mexico City's Estadio Olimpico ended scoreless.I think this was Ovalle's third career goal, but undoubtedly the most significant. He didn't even play regularly until the final stretch of the Apertura season, entering as a substitute the final three games. His performance was enough to convince Atlante's coach, Jose Guadelupe Cruz, as Ovalle started every playoff game.The championship is Atlante's first since 1993 and only its third overall. The team entered the Apertura playoffs as the third seed and vanquished Cruz Azul in the qu | | By: The Soccer Source | | |
| | Is FIFA's Club World Championships Worth Our Time? | | 2007-12-05 08:45:00 | | The Soccer Source verdict: yes it is, but only from the semifinals onward. The seven team tournament kicks off Friday in Tokyo and concludes nine days later in Yokohama. In the U.S., all games will be telecast live on Fox Soccer World. The participants:Pachuca, Mexico (CONCACAF Champions’ Cup winner)Boca Juniors, Argentina (CONMEBOL Copa Toyota Libertadores champions)Waitakere United, New Zealand (OFC Champions League winners)AC Milan, Italy (UEFA Champions League winners) Étoile Sportive du Sahel, Tunisia (CAF Champions League)Urawa Red Diamonds, Japan (AFC Champions League winners)Sepahan, Iran (AFC Champs league runner-up, made it in because Urawa would have qualified automatically as hosts) So why do we care about this? Simple, it is the only time top clubs from all confederations compete against each other on the field in a competitive setting. Granted, they don't all play each other, and several times the match-ups will not be of interest to (m)any outside their home region. | | By: The Soccer Source | | |

They’ve done it before – and they will do it again – when it comes to knocking the Yankees out of the playoffs in October.If the season were to end today, the Yankees would not be in the playoffs. But history tells us the Yankees will be there; no matter where they stand on Aug. 9.They won’t be there long in October. The Angels are just around the corner waiting to eliminate the Yankees.This will break the hearts of such East Coast transplants as Pat Colabucci who are in San Diego root | | By: San Diego Sporting | | |

| | | National Championships: Open Competition, Day 2 | | 2007-06-23 16:47:00 | | TYSON GAY'S PERFORMANCE INSPIRATIONAL – ESPN2'S JUST THE OPPOSITEIn the men's 100m final of the 2007 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships Tyson Gay scorched the last 25m of the race to win in a time of 9.84. That such a fast early-season time was run into a .5mps (1.1185mph) headwind is every indication of what's to come later on this season, especially at the World Championships in Osaka: Tyson Gay is going to rewrite the 100m history books in 2007.As for ESPN2's coverage of the meet, I can only say that it was hardly worth the hour I invested watching it. Truly mediocre. I've never seen anything as bad as what I saw last night. I've seen more exciting golf coverage. It's not that yesterday's events were boring – far from it. Shalane Flanagan kicked some serious butt like she always does. Torri Edwards' impressive comeback must have felt as good to her fans as it did to her.

| | Wariner's Name Conspicuously Absent from National Championships 400m Entrants' List | | 2007-06-12 06:50:00 | | I've been keeping an eye on the list/status of entries at the USATF National Championships page because one name has been conspicuously absent from it: Jeremy Wariner. His name did finally show up on the list tonight, but not where you'd expect it to be. He has submitted an entry for the men's 200m, not the men's 400m.Wariner stated early this season that he plans on defending his 400m World Championship title in Osaka, Japan this August. Since the U.S. National Championships are the gateway to the World Championships for American athletes, wouldn't you expect for Wariner to submit an entry for the 400m, or perhaps for both events? What's going on here? Is Wariner exempt, maybe, because he's the defending World Champion? Well, that's true for the selection processes of some countries, but not for the U.S. team. Here's the pertinent rule from the Selection Procedures page on the USATF website:"In order to qualify for the World Championships Team, athletes must compete at the 20 | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |

Dix' time of 9.93 in the 100m was the fastest time in the world this year and just 1/100th off of Ato Bolden's NCAA record of 9.92. Dix is looking ahead to the U.S. Championships or Osaka to try and beat the record. His winning time in the 200m was a slowish 20.31 compared to his phenomenal 19.69 from a couple of weeks ago. Arizona State took the women's team title.Other highlights included a tightly-contested men's 1500m final, a tactical women's 1500m race and Baylor's ubiquitous 4x400m Relay team, who competed in their 4,307,683rd straight NCAA final.Seriously, this was "only" Baylor's 27th straight NCAA Final in the men's 4x400m Relay.

| | Rupp Gets Outkicked in NCAA Championships 10,000m | | 2007-06-08 18:59:00 | | Shadrack Songok outkicked Galen Rupp on Thursday to take the 2007 NCAA mens 10,000m title at Sacramento, CA in 28:55.83. Rupp was 0.36 seconds back. His plan had been to sit on Songok until there were 3 laps to go. That was a recipe for certain defeat.A while back I commented on this very thing, but Rupp must not be reading my blog, or he chose (perish the thought!) to ignore my advice, which was to begin his press for home from further out – 4 laps. But with the slow pace (4:45 per mile) for the first 5000m (14:45), I'm not sure even that extra lap would have made much of a difference. You see, Rupp's not a kicker, contrary to what Tom Feuer, the FSN announcer, proclaimed (effused?) during the PAC 10 broadcast.What happened to Rupp was exactly the same thing that happened to Steve Prefontaine at the 1972 Munich Olympic 5000m final. The pace for the first half of that race was so slow that it didn't kill the kicks of the speedsters in the race. In the end, 3 men outlicked Pre.Rup | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | World Beard and Moustache Championships | | 2007-06-04 22:32:56 | | I happened to StumbleUpon the World Beard and Moustache Championships website this weekend and let me say first of all, that these guys can definitely grow some facial hair. My only dedicated experience with facial hair happened my senior year in college. I grew a beard for 2.5 months, then trimmed it down in my Halloween effort to look like Abraham Lincoln. I think I pulled it off, but it was nothing like what these guys are bringing to the table. Go Team USA!

| | Akaash Maharaj - Photocast: Group Sword at the International Tent Pegging Championships | | 2007-04-05 09:10:03 | | On the final day of competition at the world equestrian skill-at-arms championships in Oman, my horse Shomool remained in a surly mood. The rider to our left is keeping a considered distance, as Shomool had just attempted to deliver a slaying kick to his horse; Shomool's rear hooves came within centimetres of the intended victim. The warhorse's wayward bloodlust would remain with Shomool for the rest of the competition, and he seemed dejected that I insisted on coming between him and his wrath.

| | Group Lance at the International Tent Pegging Championships - Akaash Maharaj Photocast | | 2007-04-03 10:05:03 | | On the first day of group competition at the world equestrian skill-at-arms championships in the Gulf States, I was matched with riders from the Oman National Team, and we galloped four abreast through the course. Competing in UNICEF's colours, I am using a lance in my right hand to strike at a ground target, and using the reins in my left hand to restrain my horse Shomool from savaging the neighbouring rider.

My horse, Shomool, is galloping through the course at a greater speed than I had ever experienced on horseback. I am holding the lance at a rather desperate distance from our bodies to stave off the obvious calamity, and I have lost the nearside stirrup. Miraculously, we both survived to repeat our folly mere minutes later. A full account of the games is at my March 2007 blog. | | By: Akaash Maharaj - Practical Idealism | | |

Riders from across the world gathered in the Sultante of Oman to represent our countries in this 2500 year-old cavalry sport of sword, lance, and horsemanship. I am the nearest rider, and carry the pennant of UNICEF from my lance, as I rode for both Canada and the United Nations Children's Fund. Other riders carry their respective regimental pennants, while our national flags flutter from the flagpoles in the background.
