You remembered correctly. I too tried to find it and can't. Pretty sure it was on AZ. The person who authored the post was the tournament organizer for said one pocket event with the Grady rule. I think it might have been a senior one pocket event.

Well, Large, I don't recall seeing that but I'm sure that if it's out there someone will chirp with the details.

If it was connected to a senior event I think the last one was back in October.
So perhaps that was part of the whole original rule change announcement that was eventually reversed for 2019.

We did not use the Grady Rule at any of the senior events at Bogies in Houston.
I think we are all having a Senior moment. 
Ha ha.... someone really posted what AtLarge and I both saw. It was probably 3 days ago.
That said, Greg has changed his mind so many times in the days preceding the 2019 event, that I would not put much stock to the heresay we are discussing now

Here is one thread where the "The Grady Rule" is discussed at DCC.
There are others also.

Well just to be clear, I don't think GS was aware there had been an announced rule change *made by Diamond* shortly before the tournament.
Once he found out about it he immediately had it revoked. And that's what I find so suspect about this current discussion: GS likes 1pocket the way it is -- old school. So, maybe he's had a change of heart, anything is possible. But I'd be surprised.

There is a onepocket.org regional member tournament coming up in Memphis -- this is the second one there, and that is probably the one you are thinking about. The Grady rule is in place there (after 2 hours), as it was last year as well. I did hear Greg might come along to see how it goes.
Lol... It was me that posted it. I'm also the one who is the TD of the aforementioned tournament along with one of Lou's friends in which we use the Grady rule. I invited Greg during our face to face before the banks at DCC and relayed that information.:smile:
When I asked him about the Grady rule in person he said they would have it next year. I invited him to our tournament to show him how it worked. We didnt discuss the merits of the rule. I havent sent him the tournament flyer/information yet as he requested, but it would be a pleasure to have him attend. Hard to say what he will do but he did keep the rerack rule.
OK, so I just talked to GS (I called him -- and he said that he had no plans to incorporate the Grady Rule tournament wide at the DCC next year.
He asked me to extend his apology to anyone to whom he did not make himself clear. That is not to say that *possibly* a ref visiting a match that has gone long could not decide to impose the Grady Rule, or some other remedy. But it will not happen tournament wide. Sorry, Jay, lol.
He also shared that the DCC One Pocket event this year went very smoothly. He said there was only one match where a time problem developed. The table was visited, they were 2-2, AND THEN the last game took forever. But other than that he was very pleased with the way things went.

At this point it makes absolutely no difference to me. As I said in a earlier post the one pocket wasn't the problem this year.
In the Alex vs Gomez match, the TD approached at around 3 hours into the match (score tied at 1-1 in games and down to two balls on the table) and announced that they were being given a warning and that if someone wasn't on the hill in 30 minutes, they would institute a one game to decide it (it wasn't clear to me what happens to the game in progress - presumably declared a tie - and who has the break). In the end, it didn't matter, as Alex won that game and the next.
The exchange takes place at about 2:54 into my video (apologies for the lack of focus - my phone kept refocusing when people walked in front of it).
