Their shitty "bracket" is here:

Yeah, kind of like that hill hill, long straight in 10 ball I missed last night at league. Stung real bad. Went home and shot that same shot for about 30 minutes. Just pissed me off to miss a shot that I ordinarily nail.

Can you recall what was different about the miss in competition? Sometimes the problem is not just the shot.

I rushed it and let off my stroke.

If I may? Bob brought an interesting question that kind of contained the likely culprit. Then your response begged a question. You said you rushed it and let off your stroke. Why do think that occurred?

I may be off base, but you said it was hill hill, a tester of a shot facing you, but one that you like the percentages on, and the wheels came off. Likely it was the competition, the circumstance that led to you rushing, and letting off your stroke.

A wise player once told me that a shot is just a shot, it’s no different in practice than in the situation in competition. As Bob alluded to, the problem wasn’t likely the shot. More likely it was your perception of the shot in that moment, in competition, hill hill, where you placed an importance on it that you likely don’t in practice.

It’s that change in perception that often leads to a player applying undue pressure upon themselves which causes a breakdown in your timing and mechanics leading to the missed shot. People often scoff at the mention of a PSR, but it’s that ingrained routine that is something that can lean on in high stakes moments to keep you in your rhythm and gives your conscious mind something to do instead of trying to take over and put that importance on it, that leads to the pressure, and the subsequent breakdown in circumstances like this. Just my 2 cents.

My comments probably got deleted since I included links to the Challenge page. I just posted versions of the comments without the links, hoping they will remain this time.
