2011 WPA World Nine-ball Championship

  • ... that defending champion Francisco Bustamante was reportedly distracted by a press photographer at the 2011 WPA World Nine-ball Championship? Source: "Great Escapes Into the Sweet Sixteen". azbilliards.com. Retrieved 10 May 2020. Playing on the TV table, Bustamante looked to be cruising along as he led Setiwan 9-4. In the 14th frame, however, Bustamante was distracted by a press photographer snapping pictures nearby. From there on, the Hall of Famer seemed to lose his composure, and descended into a foul mood, as Setiwan slowly chipped away at the lead. Bustamante managed to get the score line to 10-7, but then made a handful of uncharacteristic mistakes that allowed the Indonesian back in the match. The Filipino great broke in the final rack and prevailed after Setiawan scratched after trying to escape a safety.

  • There is no real problem with the nomination, but I am curious how this was reported. Like was the distraction observed by the reporters who wrote this, in which case it may be better to add "reportedly" as this need not be a fact. Or was it said by Bustamante himself in an interview or something? Cheers, Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 12:54, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Sadly I only have the quote from above with the press commenting on it, rather than it being something he said. I'm happy adding reportedly if it's helpful. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 13:29, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
  • In that case it would be appropriate to add it here as well as in the article text, as it need not be a fact. Cheers, Sainsf · (How ya doin'?) 13:33, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
