Anyone know if they are using the same break format as last year? I think it is a good format. I'd like to see all 9 ball tournaments with that format. JT
I agree but the race needs to be a little longer.
I think the race length is fine. They're playing a first to 11 matches format anyway, so there is plenty change for rolls to even out in that time. The Mosconi, as well as being about who is the better team, is about entertainment and pressure. A series of races to 5 is perfect for that.
In terms of the break rules, I agree that they worked really well last year. I'd like to see the same again this year.
I race to five is a coin flip at best...
It's not just one race to 5 (it was races to 6 last year).
It's a series of them as SakuJack pointed out. We didn't lose because of luck. We got outplayed.
