What happened to this event? Used to boast almost whole field of 800+. This year miserable only half the field are 800+. And a 600+ in the field , probably the worst Bigfoot field ever. No offence to 600+ Max Adams, he must be a nice guy but he has no business being in this field ("no offence" or "with all due respect" are probably most common phrases you throw in after or before you "knock" someone. Not sure which is commonly used. Usually you also throw in an overused compliment like "nice guy" ). Last year field was equally poor except it did not have a 600+.
The recent International Bigfoot event had far better field almost all 16 were 800+ and top prize money $8K and entry fee $500 there were half of this event

My guess is Filler to win this over Gorst. Filler just has that extra killer instincts wants to win more badly than Gorst who looks like Ghost or deer in headlights when he is up against the really elite players- no offence to Gorst fans

No commentary, scores, player names, or ability to rewind on the side table streams. The current matches listed on digitalpool.com are not accurate, you have to go to results.derbycityclassic.com to see who is playing on what table numbers.

Seems useless then. My opinion of multi table setups is they are useless. I’ve seen them in the past and without at minimum player names and scores, it’s better to not have them.

you can jump just no jump cues. gotta use your player to hop with. great rule imo.

Can you use your break cue?

 

[DeadStick]

100"!?! If it wasn't the Bigfoot, that would be actual size!

Not quite. A 100” (diagonal) TV is 87” wide.

Alex's and Max's percentages today must be somewhere in the .600's. Never seen Alex play this bad.

Now I see they've posted the numbers, with Max at .733 and Alex at .688. What those numbers don't tell you is how many of those misses were on the last 3 balls.

Well the players need to find a backer for $1000, against a killer field. It's always been roughly like this from what I remember. Half killers, half a hair under the killers, and 1 or 2 A players to fill the field. Our own Fatboy played in the first one or two, when he was putting up the added money.

Dead money is better than nothing, you don't want byes in an event like this. They can't just pull a couple of extra 800 players out of their ass...

Worst. Match. Ever.

Max let him slip away.

Pagulayan probably just set a record -- lowest TPA (.714) in winning a Bigfoot match.

You might as well watch on your phone then.

BF has been 16player for some time now. They've never had 800 afaik. No way they'd ever get done

 

[decent dennis]

Can you use your break cue?

Only if you’re using it as a player

 

[$TAKE HOR$E]

Is it still by invite only or are they taking the first 16 to pony up the $1K

I think he was talking about Fargo. I had to read it a couple of times, too.

I'm not trying to diminish those skilled with a jump cue, but I like using 1 cue. If breaking didn't beat up the tip so much, I wouldn't want a break cue. I don't really see it happening, but it would ruin the game if it people started bringing out a draw shot cue, a spin shot cue, etc.

I’m gonna ask the dumb question. I’ve been here for a while…Why are the Derby threads not under the Derby Forum thread? I would figure we would be there but I guess we get threads in the Main Forum for more interaction?

Because too many having too many sub-forums sucks.

Man, looks like Shane can't wait to get out of there.
