Double elimination...it's not good for the sport. Pool Needs to play sets, two outta three or three outta five....PERIOD.
Dbl/Elimination.... It's only good for the whiners and for the those that got a bad roll....DBL elimination Keeps more people in the room to spend money the first day and into the wee hours...............Last match START times are often 12-14 HOURS away from initial start time. If the tournament is an Hour away, you must get up at LEAST two to three hours before play starts to eat/shower and get in some practice before play starts, and the proverbial Player Meeting, and Calcutta in some states. A normal first day of play can Easily be a 15 hour day, WHO BENEFITS???????????????????????? Who preforms well after being up that long????
AS a Player,
You need to be at the pool room at Least one hour before Play starts, and after the draw you STILL are Unable to nail down when you play, if not in the first round, the second, or the third or????????????
Pool MUST Follow the formatting of TENNIS....Many are unable to fall into line with the Sleep patterns semi pro events create, it's at the Root of the problem, and I'm SURE why some turnouts are not as Expected. Formatting and event design are Flawed and are geared more towards the business model than the game itself. Players are always looking for an ANGLE as are businesses, they both are Complicit when this matter is looked at from a Real perspective of ''the game'', which seldom if Ever comes before room owner and a gamblers mindset.
Playing sets...scheduling and match TIMES can be controlled.....
