How Hard Is it to keep brackets updated?

Johnny,
From my experience, if the people actually updating the brackets aren't physically there at the event, then it is not a very timely thing.
What ends up happening is the reporters at the event have to email the results in, OR, call them in, hoping the people on the other end are ready to receive the information and update it on the spot. When I was doing this for IP, it would generally take about 45 minutes to an hour for updates to post after I sent in updates. Sometimes longer, if they were tied up doing something on their end, such as if they were at a large event like the Super Billiards EXPO.
For the Seminole event, from what I'm understanding, neither Jerry nor Mike are physically at the event, so up to date brackets are going to be a stretch. They'll do what they can though, and that's all I'm expecting out of it.

i am noticing a trend with your post Johnny and comments! We think a like!!
I thought i was the only one thinking this way!!!
Your last post on Dennis Hatch no show at the open was spot on!!!!
I am sure you remember!!!
Funny part is in the Mizerak tournament he is hit with a 1st round TKO into the losers bracket!!!!!
But, hay he is suppose to be the best we have! Despite never playing in events! He is so good he NEVER needs to sharpen his sword!
I guess he just shows up and all his opponents pass out in his utter presence!!!
But, hay when you got an automatic slot and everyone else has to earn it!!! Go FIGURE!!!!!!
