For the One Pocket the Level 6 entry was $160 for direct placement in the final 32. The 10-Ball was a Level 9 entry for $256, but the first 8 people to sign up for a Level 9 entry received a discount at $200.

He actually isn't Johnnyt! The way they play in the PI is that u can't jump a ball and make the object ball directly. However u can jump a ball and as long as the cue ball hits a rail first before contacting the object ball, it is a good hit. I found this out the hard way. So basically this...

Just a bump for more feedback.

Bump... Just one week away!

Bump.... Just one week away!

Just wanted to remind people that I am using this unique format for a Ten Ball tournament also. The bracket is bigger and the range of the entry fee is larger. Since it is Ten Ball, the Level 1 entry fee is only $1! First place pays $2500 with full bracket. Here is the link for the...

YES, but you have to do it in time.:wink:

No need to apologize. I am a bracketology nerd also. I wasnt an English major in college so it is hard for me to explain in words how things like this work. I think that most people that try the format will find that it is actually very easy to understand once they experience it.

No. This is an open event. Hope to see you there!

This tournament will run from Feb 12th-19th. It will start as soon as the 9ft tables are ready to go the Sunday night (the day before any of the main USBTC events start). More or less I have access to these tables when they are not being used by CSI to run their mini tournaments and when they...

Again you are absolutely correct in your first statement. I'll even give you one example of how this happens. The first person to enter the tournament buy 32 Level 1 spots. They choose not to play anyone for their first match so they draw at random for these spots. By chance this player...

The point about creating a bigger pot with more entrants is exactly one of the main objectives of this tournament format. As mentioned in a previous post, this format give many options (dynamic entry fee and dynamic bracket) to a player instead of just one option (fixed entry fee and fixed...

Awesome trailer AWESOME TRAILER! Great job.

You are absolutely correct. And the certain extent happens when the bracket is full. In these first tournaments the highest you will be able to buy in to is the round of 32. In bigger formats, it may be increased to the round of 64 or even the round of 128. And if that happens, you will have...

Please read again what I wrote in a previous post. The priority is to get 1st place money equal to what is advertised. So the priority would be that all available prize money goes towards 1st place until the 1st place prize is reached. Then the available prize money would go towards 2nd place...

Let me address the first sentence. The players spot in the bracket could be changed, but really that is only in extreme circumstances. The normal procedure would be to let the player draw again until they draw a spot in the bracket that is available for the Level entry they bought in for. Only...

You are correct, but again, I have a protocol that is set and is too long to explain. In short, there is protocol to make entry at higher available so long as there are enough Level 1 spots remaining to warrant that entry. For example, at the end there are only 32 Level 1 spots remaining, all...

There basically is a cutoff time to allow for the tournament to play out. It all depends on how many entries there are at the time. You have to look at how many matches are left to be played and how much time is available until the tables can no longer be used. Again I have a protocol for...

With that scenario the board would read like this: Level 1 remaining-984, Level 2 remaining-492, Level 3 remaining-246, Level 4 remaining-123, Level 5 remaining-61, and Level 6 remaining-30. Everything is based on Level 1 entries remaining. It gets very complicated and too long to explain...
