Zane Dietlin I’m in the same boat. Watched one of these videos a week ago. Played the game a few times and now I’m hooked.

[@M612design]

Jajaja wtf last week i watch the 2018 tournament and i like it 😂

[@devarious5004]

I just discovered it literally two days ago and it's crazy fascinating. It's like curling, shuffleboard, and pool mixed into one game. The strategy and skill is super impressive to watch.

Any sport where someone pushing 80 wearing a trucker hat can be a top player is a game I want to play. I don’t want to be some basketball player with bad knees who retires at 25. I want to be top dog till I die.

This didn't need two camera angles.

[@Styles5311]

K G what are you crazy!? How else would you get accurate play by play coverage!

[@williamdowling7718]

It needs an overhead shot. Not two mid angle shots.

[@tissuepaper9962]

@@williamdowling7718 Top down shots are disorienting. They're actually worse for things like crokinole, pool, snooker, etc. than several mid-angle shots.

[@Error-br5zt]

I don't need your negativity right now

[@tylerm124]

so why are they playing with 8 discs(dont know what they are called)? i thought every player got 12

[@JK-fu1bn]

This commentator is good.

[@GermanHawaii]

old Steve Albini n William Burroughs playing the greatest game ever made

[@doylay]

Anyone know why they only take 8 shots each? I’m guessing it’s a tourney rule. I’m pretty sure a normal game is 12 shots each.

[@johnbarneswood]

It’s nice to see Tony Hinchcliffe branching out from comedy. He made a great crokinole commentator

[@cruffatinliveth]

fucking hype

[@dromadrosis]

Wow, Nathan, this was a "nerves of steel" final... Great stuff... again I've never seen any final of anything in where the players chat that much... Did they play against each other many times in the past? Another thing: what do they need to write on the sheets? Just how many 20's they do? Was this the last upload until June 2018? Thank you! :-)

[@crokinolecentre]

Glad you liked it. Both gentlemen are friendly guys, so I'm imagining it just felt most natural to them to talk through the game. They are both regular players at the big tournaments, so they have definitely played each other many times. The only thing the write on the sheets are the points and 20s. It's not really essential for the final since everyone is watching, but is just a habit after writing on scorecards throughout the whole day. This was the last Singles video from the 2017 WCC. Doubles videos are to come, and then videos of the NCA Tour will come up throughout the year. First tournament of the Tour is coming up in New York on Aug 5th.

[@dromadrosis]

Thanks for your answer... I look forward the Doubles videos... Good luck if you play in the NCA Tour!

[@sichosi]

found this a couple of weeks ago and find it pretty interesting, but still confused as to some of the shots, like at 1:03 ? why did he just hit it off rather than trying to score?

[@rogerusart]

sichosi Just guessing but his disc is in a tough position for his opponent. If he performs a bad shot trying to score the disc may end up on the board, giving his opponent an easier shot

[@JackRule16]

sichosi there are essentially two different shooting rules in this game, if there are none of your opponents pieces you can shoot for whatever you want but if there are you must make contact with them first

[@blakris9382]

I'm 12 and what is this?

[@steeldimond]

I've seen 3 of these world championship videos and Jon Conrad was in and lost all 3. All that world finals pressure getting to him.

[@jopodude]

Tell me how the scores are given?? Sometimes they get 2-0 sometimes 2-1... how?

[@turtlevader]

In standard play, you get 5/10/15/20 based on what circle your discs are in at the end of the round (including ones removed to the 20 cup. You get the difference in score and first to 100 wins. It appears that in tournament play you get 2 points for getting literally any more points than your opponent and each player gets 1 point if it’s toes at the end of a round. First to 5 wins the set (unless they most get to 5 and the another round is played until there isn’t a tie). First to two sets wins the match.

[@rapidfire223]

lmao what game is this?

[@bryantimothy8616]

What kind of game is this? And why everytime you get to the middle hole ypu get 20? Why not 10 or 1? Easier to count. And this conrad guy keeps missing his free shots

[@JaredISoto]

the hole is 20 points while the innermost circle is 15 points, the following larger circle is 10, and outermost circle is 5 points. That is why you may sometimes see the winner of that round have less 20 counts but also have more accumulated points
