00:00The preparation of Sharks Billiard Association Season 1 continues for the upcoming Championship Week of Taguig Stallions and Manila MSW Mavericks.
00:11Bernadette Tinoy has the news.
00:14In the upcoming end of Sharks Billiard Association Season 1, the preparation of Taguig Stallions and Manila MSW Mavericks continues
00:23for the upcoming Championship Week of Taguig Stallions and Manila MSW Mavericks as the first champions of the so-called inaugural season.
00:31At a press conference, SBA founder Hadley Mariano was also invited and his managing director, George Ho,
00:38introduced the concept of sharking to the league.
00:42I think the term sharking has largely been misinterpreted by a lot of people.
00:47So when we introduced the concept of sharking, it's not just trash-talking, right?
00:53Sharking involves everything. It's player interaction, it's audience interaction, it's cheering.
00:59It's really a cool term, but why don't other sports...
01:03There were a lot of negative comments online because we did something new.
01:08Because when you watch billiards, it's quiet.
01:11Now, it's their first time seeing that it's so loud, there's a fan engagement.
01:15So for those of us who became bashers, go to the arena, because it's different when you watch it on TV.
01:23Go to the arena to experience our game live, to watch the sharking rules of SBA.
01:31Give it a chance because it's a product of the Filipinos.
01:36SBA also announced that they will name the trophy to the veteran broadcaster, Chino Trinidad,
01:43who served as SBA's commissioner.
01:45Meanwhile, the championship week is not yet starting,
01:49but the head coach of both teams made a harsh comment.
01:54They can have the regular season, but this is the finals for us.
02:00As I said, the date is wrong.
02:03It's on the poster, the finals are on December 16-20.
02:07I told them to do it on December 16-18, because we will celebrate early.
02:14Because we will finish it in 3 days.
02:17We are underdogs, because when you bring the teams together, the players,
02:22they really have an advantage.
02:24But the players' discipline is different, their motivation is different, their drive to win is very high.
02:31They are on a different level.
02:33So even though we are underdogs, we will do our best.
02:37We can beat anyone.
02:39It's just teamwork.
02:44I really want to fight those who say a lot.
02:48For the first time, the championship week will be held between the Taguig Stallions and Manila MSW Mavericks
02:55this December 16 here at Sharks Arena and Sports Bar, Quezon City.
