Mr. Spot Shot could take them all....if he could make it to a tie breaker.
1250 spot shots, in a row.

Well they don't really have much of a choice in these times with quarantines, social distancing and out of country travel being more difficult. They didn't have much choice pre-covid either for that matter.Proof positive the players will play ANY format if someone puts up the money to make it worth their while. I don't hate the spot shot conclusion to so many of these matches, as much as I think the format could be better, especially when you have championship level players competing.
Some of the pros aren’t going because the weaker players have a chance to beat them…
Average Fargo of the final four is like 807.
Guys like Albin and Fedor should LOVE this tour! I’m going to play in it next year in Tucson. I’ll wager right now with anyone I’ve gambled with before that I win at least two matches.
I called a friend that lives out there and told him about the event. He plays a little but is not a die-hard pool nut. He went and said to him it was the best pool tournament he'd ever seen. He specifically liked what a lot here don't, the spot shots. Said the excitement/tension when a match went to S.O. was apparent all around the room. In this regard i think the organizers are getting just what they want.
This sounds good at face value but no, it still is t ok and your premise doesn’t hold up. Simply add a 3rd race and it’s all solved. Nobody’s bashing the efforts of Predator and others to create an awesome tournament for the benefit of the sport and all of us that enjoy it but a shoot out after two short races is ridiculous!!!!!You take it out then next thing would be 'how can a tournament make sense if every match is a breaking contest?'. You can't make everyone happy, people always find something to complain about.
This series is one of the best things that have happend to pool in last decade, preadtor is committed to adding money and even running these 4-5 times a year. When was the last time some one stepped up and got a 'tour' like this one with decent money added ?
And?? That's his choice. There are pro golfers that skip some events because the course doesn't suit their eyes/game. Never heard people whine when J. Nicklaus skipped events. Same deal here. He took some time off to go fishing and will be at DCC ready to go. Some of the others that skipped it are taking a break before Derby as well. I don't know why some people pile on for them not playing. For some its an extended Christmas/NewYear break and others may not like the format either.SVB said he won't play in these events because of the spot shot and the racking that eliminates his ability to run out.

At least Fedor is showing up to represent Cuetec and beat Predator in their own event.And?? That's his choice.

Well there will be four US Opens in Vegas in April that will have many spots for Americans as most big names will be at the World 9 Ball that Matchroom scheduled on top of Griff's. LMFAOIt sure would be nice if someone could run an All-American Championship just for US players. While I'm not an isolationist, it would be great to see just one tourney a year for our struggling pros.
What is it about the format, that makes it so difficult to pocket a ball on the break?
They made the investment of having referees rack on all tables. I hope that becomes the standard for pro events.We see the ref racking on the stream table. Who racks on the other tables? Do they have a ref or is it rack your own or rack for you opponent?
My opinion is that this format favors the strong, not the weak.Some of the pros aren’t going because the weaker players have a chance to beat them…
