Are Pro tournaments always played on new cloth?

I was asking specifically about the 2022 Las Vegas Open, if anyone knows. If they are setting up tables where there are usually none, I would expect new cloth. But I'm not familiar with the venue.

If they are using Diamond tables cloth change is independent of table setup. Diamond 9-foot tables for tournaments usually have one-piece slate and the cloth can be left on the table for more than one event. I have been to events where the cloth had been used at a previous event.
 
Sometimes they just change the bed cloth and not the rails between days. Jeremy Jones said this was the case at (I think) last years World 10-ball.

And he still thinks its called 'felt' too. Changing cloth everyday makes no sense. Be surprised if they did that. No reason too.

This is what I heard from Rich Geiler as well. So, I skipped getting new cloth prior to Vegas.

I talked to him a few days ago; he reminisced about beating Reyes, Archer, and coming one ball from beating Parica - to open a tournament! I reminded him of the time he robbed Parica in Reno (with a spot, but still...). I could see his eyes sparkle over the phone line :)

Some of the biggest Tournaments have the cloth changed daily.
Some the the least most one just use whatever is available--new or not.
