In the past MR has been fully aware of the need to show the happy fans and took measures to do so. Tomorrow they will have bleachers up and the fans will be more evident.

I wonder if it would be better to not even show the first few days? Even for diehards like us on this thread, the last couple days are the most exciting by far.
 
Pool gods with FSR:LOL:
Hill-hill, his opponent, Robert Pattinson lookalike Krause hooked him on 3. FSR long jumped the 3, fluked it into bottom left corner and wins. Awesome comeback from 2-8 down

This is pretty genius! Is that common in pool tournaments?

5 mins + 30 sec increments?

A chess-style clock smarta55.
I didn't anticipate confusing anyone with that comment.
I'll try to find a crayon font when you're involved in the thread.
A player shouldn't need 3 minutes after the break to make a decision.

This is embarrassing for pool. I can barely watch this let alone any new potential fan. Even if the shot clock was 2 minutes we'd be at a huge improvement.

I was thinking even a 1 minute shot time, with the one extension per rack deal, would be something... and that's a lot longer than most tournaments with shot clocks, isn't it?
 
Just to note the portuguese star Miguel Silva playing top 32. Awesome for a player pushing alone for himself.
 
Think that's it for Shane.

Americans have been falling left and right not to many left that we needed to show up for Mosconi

yes I think it's 30 seconds normally. Guy took minutes on every shot.

At this pace, its tough to watch. 1 minute is more than long enough. I was thinking 45 seconds.that is still long enough. The miss the old days, where guys just got on with it.
 
I was under the impression that single elimination took effect from the last 16 onward. Looking at today's flow chart it looks like if you lose today regardless of how you got there, you're on your way home. Am I missing something here, when did they change from the final 16 onward?
