2. I read on facebook that Corey said the tournament instituted a shot clock for all matches in the final 8 and it caused him to rush a couple of shots. All of these guys should have no problem with a shot clock, but putting a shot clock in for the final 8 matches makes no sense. There is no need to speed up play since it is single elimination, you are down to 8 players, it is the last match of the day in a tournament that already spread out it's matches across and entire week including a day off in the middle for a holiday. I just don't understand the point of it.
I did not know this. I'm surprised Kazakis managed to play with the clock. I'm not surprised it bothered Corey.
Thanks for posting that and to all for the updates.
