Questions about IPT match

[Big Bad Bern]

I was just wondering if anybody who saw the match today could tell me what tables were used, what size they were, was the cloth that slow, and what rules they played by aside from the modifications already specified.

Thanks

Olhausen table, black, 9-footers.

Cloth didn't seem that slow. Not superfast Simonis, but it's not like playing on a crappy bar table either. It's probably about as fast/slow as your typical pool hall's tables a few months after being re-clothed.

BCA rules. 8-ball break wins the game.

The crowd was arranged into 4 bleachers, one at each end of the table.

Each bleacher section sat around 50 people or so (the General Admission section had probably 75). The first section facing the head spot of the table seemed to be celebrities and some VIPs.... saw some important looking people, including Paul Sorvino and I think that's where Mario Lopez sat.

The next section was the General Admission section. Basically the real crowd of the group.

Next was the VIPs who seemed to be a part of the IPT or had an 'in'. Lots of suits, but I didn't recognize any faces.

Finally one section opposite the GA was for the pool elite. Rempe, Varner, Incardona, Mike's wife, et. al were sitting there.
