This was my first time seeing a 9-ball tournament live and as a novice player I was absolutely astounded for 4 days straight (Thurs thru Sunday).
I found most of the players very approachable but none of them was as free with their advice and time as you were. Several people I talked to commented on how generous you were with your time.
It seemed like on a number of your matches, you racked for yourself. Do you do this often?
Also, is your opponent giving up a significant advantage in not being able to position the balls to try and limit your success on the break?
Thanks again to you and the other great players that made the experience so fantastic.
Only down side was that I think I smoked an entire pack in 4 days..... And I don't smoke. I am still airing my jacket out. ;-)
Good luck down the road.
