I was there yesterday and found it to be a well run event. Paying top 24 of of 39.
They had the brackets set up where players and fans alike could come up and see the scheduled matches. They also had all the times of the next matches which were called pretty much on time. Maybe sometime in the future pool will have the brackets on an overhead projector like they do the bowling scores.
The only glitch in the tournament so far was when they called the Rodney Morris - John DiToro match. Rodney was not in the house. But they managed to contact Rodney and I think John extended the time they would wait. I suppose John could have declared the match a forfeit by Rodney but there were a lot of fans there who wanted to see Rodney play. I think John did the right thing. It sure did make the fans happy. And I am not really sure if they actually do have a precise time to wait for a late player. But that is something the players will have to decide on in a future meeting. Rodney won the match, but it was close.
Danny Harriman sure is playing great pool. Went hill hill with Charlie and then won the final game.
Right now the plan for the next Florida Men's Pro Tour is to start up again in January. Now that John DiToro has proven that he knows what he is doing I am sure that next year will find a lot more men on the tour. Especially since they have the backing of the Osceola Tribe.
