On this link, Pat mentions the addition of the following tournaments to the main attraction:
32 man one pocket event
16 man Bigfoot event
x man juniors
x woman juniors
I like it. Maybe he will open up the tables for challenge matches as well? Although probably not enough tables with the new additions...
Do you guys think this will make it harder to win any event? If the top contenders enter the main event, the one pocket, and the Bigfoot, they will be quite tired. Maybe some top contenders will sit out the side events, and focus only on the main 9 ball event.
Thoughts?
