Do your references to azbilliards results show just final standings or individual match scores?

That AzBilliards database, to which I posted a link for each year*, just shows the finishing positions and related prize money, not the match scores.

*Results for 2016 still have not been posted in the database. From what was posted in threads after the event, here are the 2016 results:

1 -- Mika Immonen, $10,000

2 -- Earl Strickland, $4,000

3 -- Lo Li Wen, $2,500
3 -- Jayson Shaw, $2,500

5 -- Thorsten Hohmann, $1,350
5 -- Ralph Eckert, $1,350
5 -- Darren Appleton, $1,350
5 -- John Schmidt, $1,350

9 -- Frank Scharbach, $900
9 -- Danny Harriman, $900
9 -- Johnny Archer, $900
9 -- Zion Zvi, $900
9 -- Jorge Rodriguez, $900
9 -- Stephan Cohen, $900
9 -- Dennis Orcollo, $900
9 -- Tony Robles, $900

Quality vs quantity

Does anyone else think it might be a good thought to shrink the field of players and add ref's.? Not knocking the tournament hear just a suggestion. I may be wrong, plus its better than no world straight pool event at all. Thanks to dragon promotions for helping keep 14.1 world class competition alive.

If the field of players is reduced, you have to find more sponsorship to make up the prize fund. Referees -- that requires either money or a fair amount of effort to recruit volunteers. In the old days, there was a referee and a scorekeeper at each table.

In looking over the fields of this and the American Championship (about to start), it's not clear how far you could cut it down. I see about 16 players listed who could win without a big surprise. I can imagine two groups of 8 going down to an 8-player single elimination chart. That would be 63 matches over six days. Alternatively, four groups of four could finish in three and a half days on four tables and 31 matches.

In the very old days, the tournaments were full round robins with a total of maybe 8 players who were either seeded or had won qualifiers.

I think having referees is a first step towards making tournaments run more efficiently. but even if local leagues can't do it, I doubt even the bigger tournaments will follow suit. Hell, if it was available, I would love to ref this or any other tournament.
