3 Past The Headstring rule is BS

Well, one good example would be in 2007 there was 233 players in the US Open.....and According to AZB....there's 149 players this year.
Well, 2007 was already more than 5 years after they instituted the anti-Corey break.
Using your argument, there should be more scrubs each year they change the rule to favor the bangers.
It's the entree fee and payout killing the number of entrees Glen.
Geronimo was looking for a stake horse here . Last time he went, his stake horse broke even. And he got the check a year later . And Geronimo was living in a pool room.
You see Bustamante, Alcano, Gomez and Chua this year ?
$1,000 ENTRY FEE. Let that sink in a little. Add the plane ticket or tickets and the hotel and food.

I have seen a lot of post about the 3 point break rule and thought I would point out some items. First this is a WPA sanctioned event and points event. My understand the WPA does standard rule changes every 5 years (Bob Jewett is that correct). The NEW WPA rules were posted in March of this year. The following is the bottom of 18 on page 6 of WPA New Rules (Version 15/03/2016 –The Regulations)

"The three point rule must be present on all WPA ranking 9-ball events, together with tapping or ball rack. "
And for clarification tapping or ball rack means the use of Tapped marks on the table or a template not a Triangle.
I don't know if this played a part in why it is there but if the sanctioning rules are followed it does.
