Gerry said:Sorry if this is a repeat, but I was told Mike Sigel lost his match 148 to 150, and had a 10 point penalty. It seems he took a bathroom break early in the match, then a while later took a smoke break. When this happened his opponent went and got Cindy Lee for a ruling and she ONLY hit him with a 10 ball deduction. Apparently it's 10 points per minute late or in this case an extra break.....OUCH....those 10 balls may have cost him the tourney!
I'm as big a Sigel fan as there is, but from what I'm told He is really making quite the scene at this event. I"m all for fan interaction,but when it disrupts other players and matches.........shut your pie hole!

The funny but sad thing about this is that I passed Mike in the bathroom when he was on his break, I thought his match was over and asked him how he did. He replied that it was stillon and started complaining about stuff, I listened for a while (with sympathy!
) and left, the funny thing was I could hear him still ranting to himself as the door closed behind me. It did occur to me when I went back to my seat that his long conversation might put his 5min bathroom break in jeopody!He sure did roll bacl the years on the table though from what I saw, and he'd have probably made the last 8 atleast if he hadn't talked too long...
