US Junior Open (during US Open 9-Ball in Las Vegas)

okee

14.1 is a great game, but it is too boring, to watch, in my opinion.

Be honest, how many players enjoy sitting through a 14.1 match? I wonder how many true fans of 14.1 exist, in this day and age. I am better not very many, compared to fans of 9 and 10 ball. I am betting not many, compared to 1 pocket too.

The answer is, who knows, because 14.1 tournaments are rarely played anymore. I have never personally seen one before, in the last 25 years.

I hear about 14.1 leagues going on, like at Red Shoes in Chicago, but I do not know how popular those leagues are.

It is not my intention to belittle any 9 ball tour, I played on pro 9 tour from early 90's - late 90's, towards the end the camel tour introduced ten ball. The few fans that did attend these 9 ball events were walking out - due to the arguing that would happen when players were dealing with the costant wing ball issue - not to mention the soft break. Ten ball did stop some of this, if the bca is continuing to promote 9 ball they are doing so as a result of the ref being able to control who makes the wing ball and who does not - on opening break, I have learned much about the elusive/ slippery bca as of late and it actually does make sense they would want to promote the already failed demographic of 9 ball. Rack yer own - looks poor. Most top players (probly 90%) would agree that 10 ball would be the most obvious chose for rotation pool today junior league or pro "" So again I am only speaking from experience.
 
I am excited for this tournament. This is giving my son another goal. We saw this awhile ago and my son hopes to be invited to this tournament some day. We are traveling to Ohio for a junior tournament this weekend. Typically he plays in adult tournaments. Whenever we have a BEF qualifier or junior tournament it is played on the last day of State or a large adult tournament. Lately my son has been still playing in the main adult tournament and not allowed to play in the junior event.
