I didn't see Corey Duel or Gabe Owen.
Any idea why?

Dennis Hatch said he would never play because of the race to 7 format.

We seem to get some pretty legitimate results year after year with the race to 7 format. Troy Frank the first year was the only semi fluke and that was more due to the 'bye factor' than race length.
I hope you're not suggesting Troy didn't play a great tourney? Yea, the byes helped near the end, but he still had to fade the field, and then mange to survive the finals. The short race gives the shortstop a chance, but they still gotta perform. Any player who can win any one of these tournies, had to play well to get to the finals, and then stand up to the pressure to finish it off.
Kinda makes what Shane just did, a bit more impressive. Or what Efren has done too. Any player who has won any event at DCC, has really accomplished something. That's just my opinion.
One more amazing stat to me, is Dee Adkins winning the all around, without winning a single event.
You will not please everyone all of the time. You do the best you can with the time allotted. If some had their way it would be a race to 100 or whatever to make it to their advantage.
Fine, put the pros against the pros and see how much that pays. They need to keep facing the joes in this type of game to get the prize money at a level worth having.
I like the format and think it keeps it interesting. I like the idea of the underdog having a chance to knock off a pro. Let's see you do that in the NFL or NBA.
