Tournament format idea.
Another thread was discussing tournaments formats and breaking.
I have been thinking about this and here is an idea I was thinking about.
It is pretty simple to understand but you never know how something works unless you see it in practice.
Here is what I was thinking, this would be I would think for smaller tournaments with below A players.
First break you toss or lag for. Then after the first game the trailing player always gets the break.
Should the score be tied the player who just won the game breaks.
If a player gets several games behind since he gets the break as the trailing player, he now has has a chance to string racks and get back in the game.
This can be optional,
but I like win by 2 so there is no hill hill. This would require the player who is on the hill to win the final game off the opponents break.
I am thick skinned is this a workable format or nuts? If I was still running tournaments I would try it, I think it would be fun.
