They not only have dead money in Bigfoot. But they also screw up PPV so some of their PPV money is dead.

How is it a problem - feed has been working fine anytime I've accessed it - any pool you can watch is a good thing.

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.

400-600 level players makes zero sense when there are many pros in the building
 
The BigFoot has monopolized the airtime the past 15 DCC's, and now any other tournament it's in. I don't think it should show every single match. Last 8 players at max, imo.

The first couple of years it had the marquee players. In recent years, I guess they can't get a backer.
 
This Bigfoot has been hard to watch. I think we have to many tournaments going on. All of them seem to be watered down amateur events. No matter what they call it if it's a open, competition has been weak. Jmo

Looks like they're having trouble filling the Bigfoot, now I'm debating whether I go watch. I mean, a Buc-ee's nearby is enticing but those Bigfoot matches could be whitewashes.

Looks like almost nobody in the viewing stands in Florida - plenty of seats but no spectators. IDK but to me, this whole tournament looks like a bomb.

Likely will look a bit different come the 9 ball - maybe even a few more tomorrow for the "Bigfoot", who knows. You're in Florida? Buy tickets?

Would have been there all day yesterday and today, like I was last year, but wasn't going to watch what amounted to a practice round. Did this Bigfoot have a high entry? Tomorrow's crowd will be slim pickings too with NFL going on.
