9ball match timing question

[Perk]

Pondering some ideas for potential tourneys.

If you were to take an average match time for 2 very much average players playing a race to 3 match of 9ball, how long would you think?

 

[Poke N Hope]

In a race to three you can play up to five games to get a winner. I would guess about 5 minutes per game for a total guestimate of 25-30 minutes per match. However, this is subjective because at all skill levels you have fast and slooooow players.

I would think about the same. Depends if the players play a lot of safes or not. Johnnyt

One game of Eight Ball between amateur players can take a long time. I'd go with the 9-Ball.
