International Open 2025

[AtLarge]

What kind of table are they playing on?

And can somebody go and measure the pockets, both corner and side?

And please don't say they look 4.5" to me. Somebody go and measure them. Using two balls would be fine.

Mark Wilson said more than once today that the corners are 4 1/2". But I'm not sure whether he really measured them. In this event in 2021 and 2022, they were said to be 4 1/2", then 4 1/4" in 2023 and 2024. So I'll second your request for someone who knows what he or she is doing to go and measure them.

Pretty sure it’s the same table they use at the DCC and in fact the tournament tables are headed to the DCC, per the mechanics.

Could be, but that doesn't pin down the size. At the DCCs, they said the pockets were 4 1/2" for the Bigfoot through 2022. Then 4 1/8" in 2023, 4 1/4" in 2024, and unstated in 2025.

I've always thought that the Bigfoot events at the DCC and the International were invitational events for professionals. And I believe they have always tried to get the most skilled players they could.

This year at the International it appears that they were unable to fill all of the planned 16 spots with professionals of any level. So rather than just play the event with fewer than 16, the field was filled somehow with several players who, in my opinion, do not belong in an event of this caliber. I'd much rather see byes, or a revised format for fewer players, than players whose skill level is far below that of the traditional Bigfoot players. There are other events at both the DCC and the International that are pro/ams. I think that filling out a Bigfoot field with players of a significantly lesser ability than the Bigfoot norm is a poor decision.

Literally under 600 and under 500 who in TF thought this was a good idea? Catastrophic demise(ICP song about Chris Benoit) if you havent been defiled, you have now
