That was very generous of Griff's. They do not make an offer like that at the Music City Open in Nashville, but they may need that door money going toward the added money that they add to the payout. I do not know.
Like you, I've had no issues whatsoever with Cyclop balls. The Measle cueball is a different story completely

Iv heard that also , however I've heard several times when I complained about such things and the top guys muttered " the better players are the ones who can adapt to the conditions ".

Not saying I know the reason... BUT
Giving many of the pro players being at these events... could it be that some feel that the smaller payout events would be better if they let others share in the rewards... I am not saying this is the reason... but it sure would be nice to know that there are some players who feel this way!!
Besides if players stay greedy... & don't allow others to get rewards... then it hurts the whole industry as a whole!! Just adding to the discussion...
Just some food for thought...

Ever wonder why the Filipino's do so well? Ever hear them complain about the equipment or the playing conditions? They just adapt. Why are most American pro players so vocal about everything that isn't to their liking?

Griff's is new and quality but could have had some bleachers for the sweaters during the 10 ball. It was worth the $10.00 admission just talking to the ticket girl. The tickets got me enough beers to get to the Happy Hour bargains.
My friend and I went to Good Times during the afternoon but it was dead - no action.
The Rio could have had some Action tables, practice tables and seats while waiting for the Minies. I sweated James Aranas vs Kiamco in the Finals for free - it should have been on the TV tables. Oh yeah, the $8.00 beers came with a bag of chips.
Be well Lyn - not a kid anymore but younger than me.:smile:
Was it these Cyclop?
Or these....traditional colors and the one red dot cue ball were used at the DCC two years
ago....they played great, IMO.....I'll probably buy a set.
There can be an edge using either one....:smile:

Oscar is running a tour. Tony R is running a tour. There are probably 4 or 5 more players that run tours. You can't blanket ALL pro players together. Johnnyt
At your age you probably heard a passing freight train and thought it was crickets:grin-square:
Followed by a bottle of Patron and a tag-team.
You really want to go to Poland? I can't believe Wilkie was there. He must have drawn the short straw. Place still looks like the Russians are in charge. Only upside to Warsaw is the vodka and the very available ladies. Maybe Wilkie's smarter than he looks.

With both players forfeiting:
- Shane finished 9th/12th for $200.
- Skyler finished 5th/6th for $440.
- So, combined, they won $640.
With both players continuing:
- One of them would have finished 5th/6th for $440, because they would have played each other in that round if Shane had won two additional matches.
- The other one of them could have gone as far as winning the event, which paid $2,000.
So the range for how much money they potentially forfeited goes from zero (if both had lost their next scheduled matches) to $1,800 (if one had gone on to win the event).
