I was all ready to make the trip out to Kentucky but a single elimination race to 7 winner breaks is absurd IMO for the 9 ball event. I don't think I want to go anymore.

I think you can buy back in if you lose so Its kinda like double elimination.

Eric,
Like 5ballcharlie said, you do have a buyback option (more money you must lay out). Remember though, that there will be maybe 500 or 600 entrants; the majority of whom are amateur players. It is not unusual for an amateur to go 5 or 6 rounds into the tournament (random re-draw after each round).
In addition, your entry fee gives you a spectator's ticket for the entire week.
Hope to see you enter.

OK OK I will see you there

Eric.
yep see you guys there.
It's really double...just that you pay "half price" each for the winner's and loser's bracket. Lots of amateurs don't have more than one day to spend and love it so much that they play one match and go home.
The winner breaks part is a pet peave that is just an age old hustle move and has no place in genuine championship sports of any kind...but there are SO many entries, I can see their need to get the matches over as fast as possible and that is certainly one way to do it.
But the event is a TOTAL BLAST so I hope you do go.
