Van Boening vs. Gorst 10-Ball Race to 120, Rematch -- General Comments Thread

What time are they starting today?
Yesterday they started at about 6:30 pm EDT (despite xpool.live having posted 6:00 pm). At the end of yesterday's stream, they said they were moving it up to 6:00 pm EDT for today. If Shane is able to play fairly even with Fedor for the day (around 80 games for the day), it won't end until somewhere around 3:00 or 4:00 am. And if somehow Shane could catch up and make it somewhere near 80-80 after Day 2, it could go to 6:00 am.

We have 18 some years of races to 100 range. Promoters still can’t figure out the time required.

Although the exact same can be said for nearly every weekly local tournament.
 
I think very few people are, so it begs the question why they still have them. I understand if it is for themselves, but if it is for the fans, it is a bad idea.
Because among pros it takes a 3 day race to 100 or 120 to be certain the best man won....and betting 50k plus, you want to have the best guy win.

We seen plenty of very close finishes over the years.
