2 timeouts allowed per player.
Or extend the shot clock to 1 minute.
There I said it.

Win by two final 16.
I like it how it is. We are all talking about this final. The pressure is real, let’s make some diamonds. If the pressure causes a player to make a mistake, that’s forgivable but it’s also on that player. I wouldn’t want to change the format for that. I like that we are setup to create these moments of glory.
Guy who helped when I was younger said if you let it get to hill/ hill you've already fucked up.
Unlimited push-outs.
Imagine the tension buildup after a half hour of pushes only.

Wait wait I got it...a shootout
True, but great players learn from their mistakes.
If an error has a cost, it puts another shingle on the armor for the next go around.
Once all the shingles have been laid down, the person is built.
Then, like Efren when you make a costly mistake, laughing at yourself is ''good medicine''.
It's much easier to remember laughter than the opposite.

So true
time for a GOLDEN BREAK
But the 'true champion' only becomes such a thing after succeeding and likely often failing in them often.
Nothing to disagree about. We can refer to island drive' post above
I disagree slightly.
We have a really big bar box tournament here and two heavyweights will end up final 16 final 32, etc. alternate break though. So you lose the flip and each play flawless pool, you still lose by 1.
Race to 9 with 15-ball rotation..............there I said it.
How often would you say flawless sets happen? Especially if the race is more than 5? About as likely as seeing a 200 ball run.
My understanding of the man's point was, if it's hill/ hill you're going to need some luck. You had your chances with skill more often than not.

That's why you don't flip. I always lag. There is actually skill in that. If you loose the lag and your situation happens, hey, you lost the lag instead of you got unlucky.
2 extensions and no 9's off the break as a win.
Stupidest idea ever in pool. That person should be lined up for a "shoot out".
A LOT. At least in the end part of this bar table tournament. Dennis, Skyler, Buddy, Nick, Hatch, Fedor, they've all played it, and there are tons of 8-7 BRN matches.
