With respect the time element it could take to run my tournament with a hundred players, I've decided to make it single elimination. I've changed the original thread to reflect that. Everything else will remain the same.

100 players
no offense but your a little above your head on this one
the dust off is the same weekend also the ACUI collegiate regionals is the same weekend
I dont think you need to change the format in fear of getting 100 players
 
With the 2 grand added and only 30 entry fee I still feel that I would near a hundred players. I've had that many before in nine ball, but the races were only to 7 games, so I could do a double elim. Mostly this will be a local tourney with local players. Shouldn't have a conflict with Phoenix or the ACUI. Many of the collegiate players are too young to even enter Danny K's, anyway.
By the way, I need to inform players that it is only 21 and over.

Danny, I see that there is no safety play allowed. But what is the penalty if one decides to play safe or miss a ball on purpose?
 
dabarbr, Our rules state that after every miss opponent has cue ball in hand.

Also, we recently changed the rule to "option to make your opponent shoot again". This means that at any time during the game your opponent misses a shot or fouls (same thing) you have the option to make him shoot
again.

And so he cannot play any type of safety or make any "move" on his opponent without suffering a penalty.

Thanks for asking

What if your opponent needs just a couple of balls and it's your shot and the next ball is tied up and no where for it to go. If you break them up you lose the game. Some will refuse to open them up at any cost excepting a penalty of loss of game. What now would be the ruling?

This is when the ref has to step in and call an intentional safety foul, if a safety is deemed by the ref to be played. That is minus 15 points and opponent breaks the balls.

Actually, this could be a strategy to keep someone in the game. Take the minus 15 and let your opponent break the balls. Maybe he would make nothing on the break and you could try to run 25 or 30 balls or whatever you need and out. I don't believe it would be seen often, but certainly a possibility.

Hi Danny.
Who's gonna ref Danny?
Wayne not playing?
 
Wayne will be the head referee until about 7PM and then it will be me.

We changed to single elimination to prevent matches from going until the wee hours of Monday morning.

The races are of sufficient length that the best player will definitely win. I'm a little concerned about the time factor for each match, and I realize that many of these players have to work Monday morning.
