00:00Kakasama natin today, live sa studio, ang CEO and founder ng Sharks Billiard Association, Mr. Hadley Mariano.
00:08Welcome back!
00:08Welcome!
00:09Sorry, thank you.
00:11So, Season 2 is just around the corner. Ano ba ang kakaiba at dapat abangan this season?
00:17For Season 2, definitely maraming pwedeng abangan at maraming dapat abangan dyan.
00:24Number one, siguro yung expanded roster of teams namin.
00:28So, Season 2 would have yung Makati Titans. So, yun ang pinakabagong team namin.
00:35Secondly, of course, dahil may bagong team, mas maraming players. So, definitely more competitive players ang nandito.
00:42At lastly, siyempre yung sistema namin, rules and regulations, we updated everything based sa mga nangyari ng Season 1.
00:49Oh, well, nabanggit mo na nga yung revision at pag-update.
00:54Ano ba yung mga naging challenges ninyo at mga takeaways nyo from Season 1 na gusto nyo baguhin this time?
01:00Yung una-una sa lahat, nung inintroduce namin yung Sharking, it was very interesting for the sport, for the league.
01:09Pero, siyempre, we have to draw more clear lines dito sa Sharking rules namin.
01:14So, yan, isa yan sa mga aabangan sa Season 2.
01:16At isa pang dinagdag namin sa rules, or rather tinanggal, tinanggal namin yung warning sa shot clock.
01:24Kung mapapansin mo sa tournaments abroad, may warning yung shot clock.
01:29Pag 10 seconds na, tumutunog na siya.
01:31So, tinanggal namin yun.
01:32Tutunog na yung shot clock parang sa basketball.
01:34Pag zero na.
01:36So, abangan nyo mas.
01:38Magkakaroon na mas madaramang eksena sa SBA.
01:41What led to that? Bakit?
01:42Ah, siguro nakita ko kasi nung Season 1, walang tinatawagan ng foul sa shot clock, even with other tournaments abroad.
01:51Wala akong nakitang na foul dahil naubos yung shot clock niya.
01:54Kasi, siyempre, wina-warningan mo na yung player 10 seconds before, nakakapag-ready na siya.
01:59Pero, kung tatanggalin natin yun, ah, kailangan mas focus sila, mas aware sila sa environment nila.
02:06At baka matawagan sila ng foul.
02:08So, mas, I think, it will add more pressure.
02:11More pressure na si player.
02:12It adds an additional layer na kailangan nilang isipin.
02:16Grabe! Sharking plus ito.
02:19I mean, anong goal? Because kayo yung una nga, pa nagpasikat ng sharking.
02:24Basically, the goal is para mainganyo, manood yung mga non-billiard fans.
02:30Kasi, ako nga fan ako ng billiard, pero pag nanood ako ng typical billiard match,
02:36tahimik lang siya.
02:37So, it's very boring. Unlike ito, noong ginawa namin ito, very exciting siya.
02:41At, ah, mas engaging for audiences.
02:45So, naging, ah, naging spectator sport siya ngayon.
02:48So, pati kasi yung audience, no, pwede nang magsalita?
02:50Pwede sila magsalita, eh, pwede sila mag-cheer kahit habang tumitira yung player.
02:54Hindi na namin pinipigilan.
02:55Oh, exciting nga yun, no?
02:57I mean, for the longest time, it's been a traditional way of watching this sport.
03:02Pero, oo, na.
03:03Uwubo ka lang, parang sinisita ka na ng referee.
03:06May spotlight na sa'yo agad, di ba?
03:08Pero, well, last time, I mean, ka baka ilan lang nagkaroon ng viral post tungkol sa Wax Q-Ball
03:15during an international match.
03:18Ano yung magiging reaction mo dito, nung nakita mo yun?
03:20Actually, I was, hindi na ako nagulat, no?
03:22Kasi, siguro sa foreigners, sa international scene, bago siya, dito sa Philippines, matagal na siyang ginagawa.
03:31In fact, there are games in Philippines na tanggap nila na may Wax yung bola.
03:36So, magaling tayo kasi sa Wax, eh, dahil nadadagdaga na spin yung bola.
03:41Pero, syempre, itong mga tournaments na to, abroad, hindi nila, hindi siya kasama doon sa rules.
03:48Hindi siya nakaspecify sa rules.
03:50So, may konting gray area sa kanya.
03:53Pero, ang aking unang reaction, nakita ko, syempre, hindi ako nagulat.
03:58Pero, unfair doon sa kalaban.
04:01Dahil, hindi naman yun yung rules ng tournament, eh.
04:04Okay. Well, just to add more information about it, ano ba yung nangyayari pag sinabi mong Wax Q-Ball?
04:10Nilalagyan nila ng pampadulas yung bola.
04:14So, dumudulas siya doon sa felt.
04:16Pero, nagdadagdag siya ng spin doon sa bola.
04:21So, yung Q-Ball, may mga ginagawa siya na hindi natural, na pag tinira mo siya ng walang Wax.
04:30So, hindi lahat ng player kayang controlin yung Q-Ball.
04:34Pinapractice siya.
04:34So, is it illegal or is it a violation?
04:38It is, well, sa rules nila, hindi siya bawal, no?
04:43Pero, syempre, sportsman, pag naglalaro ka, unfair yun.
04:49Kasi hindi na maalam ng player na may Wax yung bola.
04:51Pero dito sa SBA, will you encourage it? Will you allow it?
04:54Sa amin, we specify sa rules namin na hindi siya pwede.
05:00And, kasi sa international games, pwede mong galawin yung Q-Ball before you break it.
05:07Sa SBA, bawal.
05:08Pag nilagay ng referee yung Q-Ball sa gitna, hindi mo siya pwedeng galawin.
05:11Ah, okay. Well, sa SBA ba mismo, paano nyo, well, yeah, I'm sure nabanggit mo na nga na nakalagay doon sa rules ninyo na bawal ito.
05:24Pero, aside from that, ano yung isa sa mga rules na dinagdag nyo this season?
05:28Well, basically, para ma-prevent yung waxing, basically, yun nga, the best we can do is we check the balls and we specify in the rules na bawal siya.
05:37And, we put, kumbaga, sanctions sa players. At least, alam nila na bawal ito. So, I think that's the best we can do.
05:48Meron pa bang ibang, let's say, na pumaparaan itong mga players in a billiard match para magkaroon sila ng bentahe?
05:57Maraming paraan, actually. Kasi, sad to say, yung players natin, they don't really come from a well-off place.
06:05Or, hindi naman sila nakapag-aral. Means of survival nila ito eh. So, I don't really blame them kung gagawa sila ng paraan.
06:15Kasi, ito yung tinatawag natin na negative pressure eh. Yung pag natalo ka, wala kang kakainin, di ba?
06:23So, I think with SBA, we are removing this negative pressure and we're replacing it with what I want to call yung positive pressure.
06:30So, when you say positive pressure, they're no longer, they are no longer playing to feed their families, no?
06:39Kasi may salaries na sila eh. So, win or lose, they get something back.
06:44Unlike when you join a tournament, mag-gagastos ka, punta ka abroad, pag natalo ka, wala kang makukuha.
06:51So, they result to doing money games outside, you know, trying to do their best to win. At, yun nga, nagkakaroon ng dayaan.
07:00So, with replacing the negative pressure with positive pressure, they're now playing for yung honor nung team nila, di ba?
07:08Honor nung city na pinaglalaroan nila.
07:11So, I think yun yung kakaiba sa SBA na, I think, needs to be applied in other areas or in other places, other tournaments abroad.
07:22Well, you already mentioned the behavior and, you know, paano maglalaro or attitude ng isang player.
07:28I think in all sports, talagang may mga unsportsman-like behavior na na-exhibit ito mga players.
07:35So, pero dito sa SBA, paano nyo ba sinisuguro o tinuturo sa mga players na, you know, to observe yung proper behavior attitude?
07:45Sa amin, ako, siguro ako, ang pagpapwede ko lang magawa sa kanila is turuan sila.
07:53Sinasabihan ko lagi yung players na ingatan nila yung pangalan nila.
07:57Kasi pagka nadungisan yung pangalan mo, mahirap na siya ibalik.
08:02Pero at the end of the day, it's really up to them.
08:05Kasi sila naman yun nandyan.
08:08The best I can do is, you know, pagsabihan sila.
08:11So far, well, in the season 1, wala namang, ano, wala namang very controversial na situation.
08:17Season 1 went by smoothly naman.
08:21So, masaya.
08:22Pero in any case, that at one point, syempre, hindi natin maiiwasan na may mga unexpected situations.
08:28How ready are you with the consequences?
08:30Well, I think the best, pwede natin gawin talaga pagka may ganyan situation, is to face it head on.
08:41At you can never be ready.
08:44You can just hope na you can go through and kaya mong lampasan yung magiging problema natin.
08:50At, pero ako, I wish, wala namang sana maging ganong situation sa SBA.
08:55Well, so far, noong ganda nga na nga tinatakbo ng SBA.
08:59Kasi kung, well, if we look at other sporting events, di ba, hindi maiiwasan talaga na may mga controversy, lalo na pagdating sa basketball, sa volleyball.
09:09But so far, well, I am happy for SBA na, you know, we are really seeing the progress.
09:16At, ito na nga, mas pinalawak mo, itong season 2, this coming season.
09:21Ngayon, ano ba sa tingin mo, paano ba nakakatulong yung SBA para maiba naman ang point of view ng tao pagdating sa Pinoy players at sa billiards?
09:31Siguro, SBA kami bilang isang liga, gusto namin patunayan na tayo mga Pilipino, kaya rin natin mag-organize ng liga na structured, no, at very professional.
09:46So, yan ang gusto namin ipakita sa buong mundo, na we can structure a tournament that's very organized and very professional.
09:54Well, most ng games or lahat, the whole season happens, syempre, sa SBA, sa Sharks lang.
10:01So, meron ka bang plano na, kunyari, mag-home and away kayo, punta na Misayas, punta na Misayas?
10:05Yes, of course, doon talaga tayo papunta.
10:07We would want to bring SBA to the fans, no, lalo na syempre sa probinsya, wala, hindi sila, they don't have the means to come to the arena to watch.
10:18Balang araw, gusto kong magkaroon ng home and away concept na dadali namin sa kanila yung laro.
10:23Ayan, syempre, masaabangan yan. Alam mo, parang basketball lang itong billiards, eh, di ba?
10:28Pag, pag, pag, ah, punta ka sa isang kanto, isang bahay, may mga billiards table dyan, so, in, ah...
10:33Mas marami pang ang billiards tables kaysa sa basketball courts.
10:37Totoo, totoo. Pero nga, Hati, ah, you can invite, ah, syempre, ah, in your upcoming, ah, season, itong inyong mga billiards fans.
10:45And, ah, syempre, kung may mga gusto kong pasalamatan, ikan gawahin.
10:47Ah, saan ba ako titingin dito?
10:50Saan?
10:51Ah, so, in-invite ko lang lahat, no, manood kayo na Sharks, ah, season namin magsa-start September 15.
10:59Ang arena namin is located in Quezon City, ah, 234 Tomas Marato Ave.
11:04Free ang entrance namin, so, anyone can enter, pwede kayo pumasok, may beer kami, food.
11:10So, ayan, puntahan nyo lang, at subukan nyo, baka magustuhan nyo dahil kakaiba ang audience engagement dito sa Sharks.
11:17We allow yung sharking, we allow cheering from the audience.
11:22Definitely a more improved and exciting, um, SBA season 2 at masarap ang kape sa maman ng Sharks.
