We have to go grab a meal before the 7 PM matches start so we are leaving the Souquet-Klatt match in progress. We will update the score when we get back. Sorry, but some of these racks are taking 30 minutes and we can no longer delay dinner.
 
:eek::grin::grin:someone call someone at the us open and find out what happened! i need to know haha
 
Oh, ok. I was wondering why the live scoring still shows the Souquet-Klatt match as being 8-8. I know Souquet is slow, but damn.
 
The pool world needs to figure out a way to use the shot clock permanently. Most tournaments have a standing rule that slow players can be put on the clock if they start to hold up a bracket but it is rarely enforced.

Part of the problem is that there are not enough tournament staff (ref's) to manage the shot clock. The other part of the problem (imo) is that depending on the player (champion caliber), TD's don't want to risk "insulting" or angering the player.

Slow play is a problem in every tournament and with every caliber of player. It is an issue that needs to be addressed on a wide scale. It is a detriment to the tournament, the other players, and the paying customers.
