Could straight pool thrive with a gimmick format?
On the other hand.....
I didn't see it -- and I certainly wouldn't have watched the whole thing -- but I believe in one of Charlie Williams' World events, there was a five and a half hour match. I think it was to 150. Worse than one pocket.
If you're going to have a competition, you need to stay on schedule, attract a paying audience, and not drive viewers and players away by boring them to death. Mosconi, Butera, Orcullo, and Shaw have shown us that you don't need 50 seconds per shot.
A game clock like in chess -- not a shot clock -- can solve the snail problem. I think a 20/10 shot clock could still be playable, but it would eliminate maybe a quarter of all players. A problem is that it requires staff to run it.
Yeah, unfortunately I was there. It was SVB vs Max Eberle. Thankfully Max scratched on a side pocket breakshot needing less than a rack (5 balls I think) or we'd have had to endure an 8 hour final match. It was painful.
