Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

I think when people say "aim at" the contact point they mean "aim to hit" it.

In my case, that is what I mean, although I would add that I mean the *intended* contact point. Due to the curvature of the balls (equators), the cueball will *impact* at an "earlier" spot on the ball. I can see that the actual impact point could then been interpreted as the "contact" point.

Sorry, if the is pendantic but I wanted to (over-) clarify.

Pace of Play

That will end in about half the time as DE. Sometimes even faster than that. If people demand at least two matches, have a consolation tourney for the first round losers, if there are plenty of tables.

With SE, you could add a game or two to the match length and still finish much earlier.

In my area a Monday night tournament is run as a modified double elimination. Bar box. Usually eight ball on the A side and nine ball on the B side.

Once you get put on the B side, there is no coming back to the A side. The B side plays as normal but 3/4 doesn’t play - they split the B side pot. The A side can split the main pot if they want or play it out (the A side almost always finishes first). Handicap races.

Same pool hall also does a 9’ 9b tournament with a similar format. B side never comes back. Race to 4 on the A and 3 on the B (handicap entry).

Both tournaments are popular.
