In a four man bracket there are three matches for each player. A tie is broken first by the result of their head to head match, and second by the total number of games lost. See, you can explain it in 30 seconds! :wink:

Haha, i know right. Maybe i just understand it because i'm canadian and most international hockey tournaments are round robin format...lol
I guess that answers my previous question, thanks.
Werent they both playing with the same balls, on the same off level table?
+1 ............. less is more in pool commentating
I disagree, as long as the commentators are worth a damn. If all a commentator is going to do is tell me what I JUST saw then I'd rather not have them at all. What I DO want however is analysis of the game, predictions, stories about players, history, etc etc just like every other sports announcer ever. I don't like the silence at all.
What they need is
A good computer algorithm to decide it - like the college BCS system

What if Efren wins and Morra wins?
No, I think the second tie breaker is "rack differential" -- the difference between total games won and total games lost.
I think his complaint was that the cue ball in his last match was imbalanced and would roll to one particular side.
The complainer didn't like that the first tie breaker is head-to-head result. Ken told him to go complain to CSI, and that he (Ken) had nothing to do with establishing that method. Ken did not seem to know the complainer, so I imagine it was just someone from the crowd.
That's what he said. But the issue is that it'll never get to games won/lost. No matter what you can only have two people ever get to 2-1. So games won/lost will never factor in.
