I wouldn't be that TD under any circumstances or any amount of money because the players sloth would be made his problem.
Time limit is one rule, it's clear, no debating it.
The one that's behind can make a come back play and win or he can lose.
Its not gambling, its tournament play.
Agreed.
That isn't bad for the Derby which is set up for it.
When you start using pool rooms for tournaments, other things start being a problem,
like taking up all of the 9ft tables all day on Saturday which is high earning potential time.
So, tournament wise it's not for every room.
Even with all of that, 1-pckt takes a long time to play.
Room owners need to make money by having more players present at tournaments and spectators.

Could it be that tournament one pocket and gambler style between two players...
Even though there aren't shot clocks, I don't see a TD allowing this to get out of hand before

I guess that would make the player who is behind have to rearrange the furniture some.
I can't imagine a better way to limit races other than time.
If you're behind in the score no more stalling shoot or lose.

so now I play with House Cue butt and my Southeast shafts. Feel is King for me.
I saw a Cue Guy set up at an event yesterday. Pot leaves, zig zags of all kinds and weird
colorful designs and at decent...
Especially before the latest LED lights and if they have the old lights, they cook the humidity right out of the air
and the air circulates over the cloth, and all moisture leaves it as well= very slick conditions with new cloth.
You got lucky on the floor and the mechanic doing it. Floor is at least 70% of the success.
Wood expands and contracts with temp and humidity, but I understand.
On the other side of that if a mechanic is a little off or he doesn't start the process the
correct way, the Diamond Bowl forms and...
