Derby city so few Pros
- Thread starter calibration
- Start date
And its impossible to look at them on a phone. Sucks
I just tried. Way too much info trying to get on the phone screen, imo. The old system was archaic, and didn't update half of the years, but it was at least readable.
don't think that is a major factor. it may matter a little bit, but going there and not playing banks / 1p / possibly bigfoot doesn't make much sense either

People always say the payouts are horrible which is why so few TOP professionals don't come. And that's likely the largest factor.
But how bout for the guy that has no chance to win the event but could win a handful of matches, that guys BEST CASE scenario is to win like maybe $200 in any event IF he plays his best and doesn't draw the top guys.
Payouts are a joke to be sure with all the buybacks going to the master of the table and or Diamond. Only maybe what like 5 guys could feasibly win that? Maybe 12 that could place top 3? So the buybacks are just an extra tax to everyone else in reality.
But In this one man's opinion the only reason to play for any player is to PLAY. This event has never truly been about money as there's way more money to be made in dozens of other events throughout the year for the players that do it for a living.

Yeahhhhh, but you still have to get there and get out afterwards. I imagine some travel by air and then transfer to ground transportation.
I was talking with a friend who goes most years and he asked me why I’ve never gone, I told him it never seemed like a good idea to drive from the East Coast to that part of the country at this time of year, the weather can make that a formidable trip. I’m sitting here trapped in the house now after 7” snow that was followed by freezing rain on top of it yesterday. Temps are well below freezing and aren’t expected to rise above it until mid week next week with more snow coming this weekend.

It's about the same as 2018-2019. But they added a White Castle vending machine in the vendor hallway lmao.
For the last couple days only one spot in the food court, "The Grill", has been open due to the snow. It's seriously rough.

Nice set vs Gorst. You almost had him!
WTF. 'Chaos in politics' has nothing to do with player turnout. Please.
Just rename it the 'DerbyCityDeadMoneyClassic'If they seeded the 9ball it would be a pro event, thats not what derby is about. You'd also get about 300 less players per event.
Derby needs nothing, its fine the way it is
That's what its always beenJust rename it the 'DerbyCityDeadMoneyClassic'
"Derby City, All Donators Welcome" I just don't see the appeal in going to a event where you basically have zero chance of even cashing.
Aside from getting lost in Connecticut on his way back to Scotland, what happened to Shaw?
kollegedave
he didn't come. who knows. all kinds of rumors/scuttlebut but bottom line is he's awol.
The current chaotic and unpredictable state of the US decreases it's appeal for rest of the world.
Stick to pool. Take this poli shit over to NPR. Pool tournament turnouts do not hinge on politics. Please.
