I live in a place that doesn't have a pool hall around. There are two bars in the city, each with two 8ft. tables.
If you wanted to run a tournament/weekly event with two tables and no more than 16-20 players, what would be your ideal tournament?
We already are using one of these bars to have a weekly handicap 8-ball, 9-ball, and occasionally scotch double tournament (Sundays - 5p-?). We start with a single game round robin of either two or four groups and then have a seeded single elimination tournament afterwards.
I am in conversation with the other bar to start up a similar tournament but on a weeknight.
Would you consider a chip tournament, regular double elimination, or ????
I want to do something different from what the other bar is doing to have more choice.
I think a chip tournament would be great since we already have a handicap system from the other bar, but I have not done the math, and with only two tables, I am afraid it would take too long.
What have you AzB? Two tables, 12-20 players who are mostly bangers, 5ish hours of play.
