Switching to the voice of Tyler Durden from Fight Club
Dude, are you really me? Perfect post, it's almost like I started another AZ identity in some kind of fugue state and posted this. Yes, I always do this. But here is the other side of the coin; I would watch Efren Reyes, Semih Sayginer, Phil Mickelson, Peyton Manning, or my other favorites play even in a losing game. We need personalities too. If we keep this thread going, this thread could potentially turn into a really great one for changing the fortunes of pool as a sport. Guys, remember Grady Seasons? Read my post about nigysob then tell me what percentage of kids would respond well to Seasons as the type opponent you'd want to play ANY game with. There are sooooooo many threads and posts on AZ about Earl and how he affects the game. I am a solution oriented person. Before a lot of tourneys begin we have the tradition of the Calcutta. Let's have a post-tourney tradition of rewarding like a "best performance" award and include a cash prize for an incentive.
Admittedly, there is a unique excitement and interest when a player is on a high run. Like I have said before, "everything is give and take".
Do any of you do this on a Saturday afternoon in the Fall? I flip through the stations looking for a good football game. When I happen upon two noted colleges playing and the score is 44-14 in the third quarter, I move on to something else. I try to find a game that is within a touchdown and less than 5 minutes remaining. I flip until I find a good game.
If I walk into a tournament room and the first thing I see is an 8-1 score in a race to 11, I will probably move on to another match. I am looking for a hill-hill match or at least a close one.
Sacrificing increased viable competition for high-runs does not sound like a good trade off to me.
