i guess it's not the most intuitive format. once you actually located the results link on the 1998-style website and scrolled your finger numb to even get to the one pocket, you get to see scores where it seems like one player played himself and the other ones played each other twice but in alphabetical order. i get it, nowadays, but it is funky.

here is how i understand it
when it was efren /hennessee and tony ........ tony got the bye
after efren lost and hennessee won they had ANOTHER DRAW
they said since tony got the first bye he couldnt get the second bye
so apparently hennessee got the bye in the final draw
hope that makes sense
your pic was from last night before the hennessee efren match

Whenever there is an EVEN number of players in a round…no one sits out that round.
Whenever there is an ODD number of players in a round…one person doesn’t have a match that round…could even be the first round with 495 players.
With 3 players left…Efren, Tony and 3 finger John…someone sits out.
Tony sat out.
Efren and John played.
Efren lost and had a buyback.
So there are still 3 players in it…Efren, Tony and John.
Now Efren and Tony are going to play and John is sitting out.
Efren and Tony each have a loss so the loser is out and the winner plays in the final against John.

The format is easiest enough to understand. But their website is bananas.
In case you don't know, the easiest way to get to through the scores is to just hit cntl-F and then type 'one p' and it will take you right to the top of the list. At least the damn thing was kept fairly up to date this year. Last year might have been the worst yet.
No, it really doesn't.
The format itself is great. It’s the following by fans of it that hasn’t been improved in 20 years that stinks.
Scott was incorrect. All 3 players have one loss each, thus no more “buy backs”. His other sentence was a grammatical error and should read Hennessy got the “bye” to the final. (If that’s true it was him I have no idea).
Hi Jam, I know what’s going on now. My prior post above was about today (sat). Scott’s post was about Fri night. In both cases the same 3 players were left. When Scott made that FB post Tony did get the bye into the next round, and Hennessee and efren were about to play each other. And efren was the only one of the three undefeated, so he did have a buy back option.
Hennessy did end up beating efren. Which brings us to Sat with the same three players left and all have one loss.
Henny can be a colossal tool but he is playing some great pool. Must be that may-oooo-chee he's wielding.
