    Upcoming changes for Derby City Classic 2025

    I'm not sure extending a day is the optimal solution unless the management of the tournament itself gets more efficient too. Otherwise, an early Sunday morning 9ball final can easily turn into an early Monday morning final. They have time to make additional changes before next year's event so...

    SJM at the 2024 Derby City Classic

    Great write-up as always, thanks for taking the time to put it together. I wondered if lessons would be learned from last year's logistical issues, but sadly that would prove to be false.

    Which major tournament would you choose if you could only attend one per year?

    Likely to spectate only. I don't know if entering one event would provide much material difference in free entry for 3-4 days.

    Which major tournament would you choose if you could only attend one per year?

    Good suggestion. Thank you. Thank you. The Derby certainly sounds like it has the most to offer but my concerns are the current facility, its isolated location, lack of food options and most recently the poor scheduling, I won't be attending this year but if they get some of the logistics...
