Texas 10 Ball Final

JohnInNH said:

During the finals of the Texas open an incident occured that I want to comment on and that is when Dennis Orcullo was practicing his break an individual on the table next to his was annoyed by the amount of time that it took him to rack the balls and a TD was called in to ask him to speed it up, my question is why are the tables next to the finals table being used at this time? after this incident Dennis was constantly looking over his shoulder to see if he was interfering with them.

What happens at other venues during the finals of a tournament?

I felt bad for Dennis, was I wrong?

IMO, a tournament of that size/stature, should have the finals table undisturbed during play. IE, the tables on all possible sides, should be empty.

That is if you want to be doing things professionally. If not, fook it. Start karaoke and put bangers on all the tables next to the finals table. :thumbup:

I am confused. Dennis won the finals. How was he practicing his break during the finals? Was this during the semifinals between Kiamco and Bustamante? I feel like more information is needed.

Running this tournament till Monday is absurd in my opinion. I understand the labor day tournament running till Monday but this one should not. Ridiculous.

Please expand. Not sure why you think a 100 player field playing 10 ball races to 7 on both sides should be completed in two days whereas same field playing 9 ball races to 9 on both sides is ok to be completed in three days?
