Tournament definitely need final match or it is gimped. I did not know format but I assumed that after round robin 2 best players play on Final..

Thank you!!

Top two from the round robin play each other. Just make the final match a longer race so it is different from the original races.

This is a little similar to the U.S Open 9ball.

J-L Chang beat Shane and sent Shane to the B-Side. Shane then beat J-L Chang in a single race in the finals. Thus Shane won the US Open 9ball. Records not identical though since Shane had to win more matches on the B-side.

Only on AZ will the rail birds complain more about the format than the players.

Exactly.... race to 15 and be done with it.

That is just simply...odd. I had several bets on who wins the event but was going based on the round robin finish so if Shane loses this last set then it going to be interesting. It would be one thing if they were both 3-2 but being Champion with identical records is just funny stuff.

I have played in quite a few round robin tournaments and *always* have a
number of players who finished highest in the RR progressed into the next
stage of the tournament. Most of the time this was into a single elemination
bracket. So really, I see nothing odd here at all.
