I'd venture a guess that Predator's event was scheduled first. The Mosconi is, typically, a week later than this. The 2025 Mosconi Cup took place from 12/3-6, so many, myself included and possibly Predator, were surprised by the timing here and expected the Mosconi a week later.

Wouldn't there have to be a "pause" for anything to change direction?

I don't think the insertion of a pause into the proceeds is less or more likely to help smooth out a stroke. More inclined to think two more stop/go points would worsen things.

Looking at footage of Lassiter, Mosconi, and Crane (and I need to re-check youtube) but I don't think any of them had a pause. Neither did Allen Hopkins.
