Well of course (see what I did there?).
They often move pin placement — but that’s not what we’re talking about. At golf they’re always moving things around. I previously mentioned that Augusta has had all kinds of changes accomplished to make it more challenging:
Tiger Woods loves changes to Augusta for The Masters: "Absolutely amazing"
Tiger Woods spoke highly about the changes made to Augusta National ahead of The Masters in April, but will he be competing next week?

But we’re talking about the size of the hole.
I imagine that if they decided to change THAT a whole lot of people would have something to say about it.

Since the stands aren’t full for the Bigfoot and it seems more for recording matches and online streaming sales 
, why not start that on Wednesday or Thursday before the banks starts?
Do the finals of it the first Friday.
Those players can concentrate on that, they get it done in 3 days because players aren’t in banks or one pocket matches.
There’s lots of other ideas that have been said on here and through the years but they either fall on deaf ears or they just don’t care.

My point is the tables are too close together.
Given that the location is not going to grow, there is only one way to reduce the table density and it's not a good solution.
You’re nit picking and I don’t know why. The point is golf makes it harder through progressive rounds. How they accomplish that is irrelevant.Well of course (see what I did there?).

After a lot of thought, Imo the only realistic way to make the DCC an enjoyable experience throughout the week, is to limit entries to 300 per division.
Many of the ideas in this thread would improve the situation. However, I don’t see management doing any of them. They have not changed a single thing in 15 years to make the process better. They won’t now either.

Maybe we have reached a tipping point. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I think the large fields are important for the event.
And if there were undulations and elevation changes on a pool table, a whole lot of people would have something to say about that, too.
No, the size of the target is a pretty fundamental issue, whether it’s pool, golf, darts, whatever.
We disagree, meh.

I thought that the tables at the DCC this year played very level.
They also played very tough, fast, and short.

Well, originally what I was responding to was "but they don’t purposefully change things to make the game tougher mid series" from your post and that is exactly what golf is doing.

Yes, even worse if they watered it down with a sprinkler.And if there were undulations and elevation changes on a pool table, a whole lot of people would have something to say about that, too.
And while we're at it, plant pumpkins in the pockets -- our last hope for orange.Maybe the cloth would then become green
