Bingo. We have a winner.

Why oh why do you pool players have such trouble with reading comprehension?
Nobody is suggesting "cutting out the calcuttas"...not once have I said that.
You can Calcutta yourselves to death, all night, and all day...24/7 for all I care.
My complaint is simply the timing issue.
The seller's website says one thing about starting time and then (as usual) it gets started late and 2-3 hours are tied up with your Calcutta before the pool shooting gets going.
I think the seller should state in the advertising that the calcuttas will probably take up 2-3 hours and because of that, for the people who don't want to access their paid for content....they get the opportunity to buy for less and not be allowed access until the Calcutta is over.
That's all I meant and nothing else. For crying out loud, when you guys get a contrary opinion to "the way we always did it", you go haywire like a bunch of children.
For what it's worth though, it's kind of dumb to be posting all the money that's won and all the gambling that's going on over the web. How much tax has been paid on it?
Sooner or later someone's pissed off wife or someone who's a heavy loser is going to report all that stuff to the IRS for revenge and the feds will sweep through those tournaments and send a lot of people to jail in a replica of what happened to Johnston City action years ago. I been there.......you won't like it.
And I hate the IRS WAYYYYY more than you do.
