Little Ko wins 8-Ball !!! Big KO ripped off, Pool hangs it's head

Again not unfair! Those two toastie and little ko had the same probability of drawing Ralph and getting the bye. so again, they were not harmed because they had the same probability of having drawn Ralph and gotten the bye.

No. There was no drawing for opponents in the semi-finals. From the start of the event it was known that the semi-final matches would be Group A vs. B and C vs. D.

Yes, but you had to draw straws/numbers to see WHERE you go on the chart and RALPH could have MATHEMATICALLY fallen in anyone of the groups and given the opposing player a bye!!! So, again the PROBABILITY of the 3 of the 4 finalist getting the bye from Ralph was UNIFORM and fair.

By that logic, so was the process of any of them having the chance to face SVB as a sub.

so true, if that was published prior to the sub! But, springing it on someone and rattling them just before a match provides a SEVERE handicap to that player!

Meh, sort of. After all, these are some of the top guys in the world, so they shouldn't have their game crippled by a change in opponent. I can understand why people say he shouldn't have been there, but, to me, there were at least as many convincing reasons for the substitution. Also, for the comparison to other sports.. how much do you think Ralf would have been fined in any other organization? What he did shouldn't be taken lightly. It was completely offensive to those in his bracket and disrespectful to the organization running the tournament.

Agreed. But Ralph was not punished. Ko was!

Whip out your wallet... Call all 16 back and you can run the tournament the way you want... I agree with Mark... I hang my head at the stones thrown at people who are actually paying and running the event.....

I just bought the PPV (actually the 10-ball not the 8-ball) and so followed the structure, and it's on the web page. But I feel like I'm missing something...
