You got me!!! LOL
When I was in Vegas I saw a waiting list to play a challenge match with Allison Fisher or Kelly Fisher. These challenge matches consisted of 1 game of 8 ball or 2 games of 9 ball. If you won, you still only got a picture with an autograph. The list usually had about 10 to 15 names waiting. Each person would pay $25 just to play 1 or 2 games of their choice.
In our local tour, The Desert Classic Tour, a C player can pay $35 to play a minimum of 2 races to usually 8 in rotation tournaments. If you never win a game you would still play a minimum of 16 games before you would be knocked out of the tournament. As an added bonus, you might be on the live stream table playing the likes of Scott Frost or Mitch Ellerman.
So......if you think the only experience taken from this is "racking", maybe you should come out and play a lil. Maybe you could learn a little bit of how to play better position or pick up a few tips on breaking.
