LAS VEGAS (June 20, 2013)
The World Professional Billiard League located in Las Vegas, NV is now in the fourth week of its inaugural season. Each week, the WPBL looks to add new features enhancing the overall experience for both fans and players alike.
In recent matches fans may have noticed the inclusion of three more cameras and the use of a new lighting sequence. Incorporated in these additions, was the “pocket cam” which not only gives a unique view of the process of pocketing or missing a ball, but ultimately making enthusiasts feel like they are part of the action.
The WPBL’s live broadcast is now running with one of the world’s most universally supported streams available on the internet. The stream has been tested and is fully capable of supporting the increasing amount of traffic to the www.wpbltv.com website.
A preview of this weekend’s match-ups will see all six teams in the North Division competing against each other. There will be no matches on Thursday June 20th as a result, the first match of the week will be Friday June 21st at 6:00pm PT. Friday’s match will feature the Toronto Blue Sharks who are currently in 4th place overall versus the Minnesota Outlaws who are close behind in 5th.
