Which do you feel is better for weekly league player retention?
Break and Run vs Player Auctions
- Thread starter Positively Ralf
- Start date
Break and run or handicap the heck out of the tournament so the lower player can actually win the tournament.
Well, its weeknight single elimination fargo handicapped so I'm good on that end.

Skinny Bob's does a break and run Fridays and Saturdays. The pot usually has $10K-15K in it.
Wow, what's the fee to get a chance?

$20 entry to the tournament and then you have to buy tickets to enter the break and run. They draw a name at 10pm each night.
You have to play in the tournaments at least 3 times a month to get the full amount.
The way they do it is that if you are drawn, you can take $200 right away. If you want to do the break and run, the pot is divided by 15 and adds up for every ball you make. If you miss, you get nothing.
They also livestream both nights, but only Friday has a commentator for now.

They play 15b rotation? No wonder the pot gets so big.
Def no player auction for a weekly. Who wants to sit around all night waiting for that to finish?!
Side pot is fine, and doesn't add time.
Break and Run pot is always fun and attracts/keeps players.

Just for the break and run draw. It's regular 9 ball for the tournament.
lol know whats funny? I was talking to one of the top regional players the other day and he told me he would see no reason to ever play in a weekly tournament unless it had an auction. When I mentioned the BnR he just scoffed and said that he will never understand what the appeal of BnRs are.
Then I remembered I'm talking to a guy who is a weekend warrior and gambler. His opinions are one I do not favor much just because of the different mindset vs players who do this to get out of the house for a night.
Who has ever run out the rack?
I know it has to be a very short list so it’s not hard to keep track of who.
