Derby City Dress Code

[Andrew Manning]

As I'll be packing for my DCC trip quite soon, what's the DCC dress code, not as written, but as enforced? I'm most comfortable playing in jeans and a T-shirt; if I show up for my matches in Levi's and a clean solid-color T-shirt is there any chance I'll be turned away?

https://derbycityclassic.com/the-rules/ DC is second one down. Take both jic. I doubt they'd go all "soup nazi" on you but collared shirts are the norm. In the match-up room i've seen a lil of everything.

As written = look like a golf pro...ish.

As enforced = people of Walmart high on meth.

Ive never seen it enforced which I think sucks cause it does nothing for pools image when you se people in sweat pants and ratty t shirts playing in an event of the DCC's magnitude.

100% correct. Players wonder why they get no respect but want to dress like street urchins.

It's kind of depressing.

Every year that I go I look around and wonder about the guys wearing ratty shorts and t-shirts in the dead of winter.

Lou Figueroa
yes, I know
the event
is indoors

Dress for success. I'd hate to look back at a picture of myself holding a trophy and looking like I just got done cleaning my garage.

I want to be comfortable playing, especially when it's all day long for days on end.

Sure hate those Professional basketball and soccer players wearing shorts and t shirts/jerseys and getting paid millions - what a bunch of scumbags, no wonder nobody watches

If you’re sweating as much as a b-ball player, while walking around a pool table, you should see a doctor.

If you're not, you're not playing fast enough.

I was curious so i msg'd the DCC FB page about this. They said it is enforced but only in tournament area. Action areas are open to whatever.

Or maybe you have a habit of just making *really* bad games and have a particularly unforgiving stake horse...

Don’t recall seeing it enforced on the two floors of the tournament.

Of course the Action Room and the action streaming table would be another story. After hours too. But the tournament tables... just don’t remember seeing a DC enforced.

Just another sign of the times of pool being in the dumps.

Dressing up won't save pool. But the awful attire of professional pool players when given the choice is symbolic of the state in which the game is.

Is it really that much of a burden to go one tiny step above a T shirt?

Nothing wrong with a nice comfortable shirt and slacks and you look good.

The final table at the WSOP had hoodies and t shirts. Attire is not holding pool back. If it was exciting to watch and could get large audiences, the big sponsors would be here.

I like to play in slip on sandals... with socks when it's cold out.

I only play local leagues though. The way I see it is I should shoot comfortably, and I never wore shoes when I was learning pool in my parent's basement 20 years ago.

a different pair of shoes does change things slightly for me when I get down on the shot, and I have to play in them for a couple days before I get used to them... but when I go back to the slips its like "old familiar."

I've always wondered about the dress codes for the big tournaments, and whether I'd have a problem dressing up and playing should I ever get to that level.
