IIRC it was 10g's in banks, 15 in 1p and 25 in 9ball.What was it last year?
I was correct. I found a flyer from last year. Way to go DCC!!!IIRC it was 10g's in banks, 15 in 1p and 25 in 9ball.
Not really. It was added as an extra event. Don't get me wrong i like the game but it being gone won't hurt the event and it freed up some extra $$ for main events. Biggest problem,imo, was it caused scheduling snags that slowed everything down.That's good but absence of the 14.1 event leaves a large void.
DCC FB page just announced that $25,000 would be added to payout of 9b, 9b Banks, and 1p. Pretty sweet. This may have been announced earlier but i just saw it.

The only way it affected scheduling was that it took four tables out of circulation. The schedulers ignored the 14.1 nearly always. There will be four more tables for four days this year because the straight pool is gone. That is only for the four days of qualifications, Sun-Wed.Not really. It was added as an extra event.

Pure pipe-dream here but i wish the three 14.1 promoters(CSI, American 14.1 and World 14.1) would sit down and come up with ONE definitive StraightPool title. Have it somewhere nice, i'm thinking former L.A. ElksLodge building The Macarthur and do it up right. The game deserves some pomp and celebrity in my book.There will be a segment of viewers who will sorely miss the 14.1 competition, and the uniqueness to that format. Would love to see it re-appear in another major tournament where the promoters actually showed some interest and respect for it. Perhaps the International?
