Why Dbl Elimination ?? Lets be Single

[Island Drive]

It's time for.
One day events Single elimination, that way you'll give it 110% like you would in ANY key match instead of knowing you got second chance ''goin for yah'' .
I don't know allot of people that enjoy playing a weekend event on Saturday and finishing your match Sunday am, and play again by noon or 1 on the same day.
Single elimination.
All begin Every round at the same time.
After each round.... half the room tables Open Up!!!! it's only 1 pm so, and???? With Tables Open whad-yahgonnadue?, match up/have a bite/hang out/sweat matches or ???? leave and enjoy your Saturday daytime). No more HURRY UP AND WAIT.

That would be great if there's enough players for a short tourney.

There's not much chance of success 4 a 3C tourney with this format, except within certain select areas.
NYC, LA, S. Florida, Houston..

There used to be a single elimination handicapped weekly tournament at Bob Byrne's home room in Novato. I think Diab went to 20 or so. Played on three tables.

That's fine when you have a population of local players for a 1 day tournament.

I'd have a tourney in my basement if I could find more that 2 players to enter.

Few will make a long trip for a single elim unless the payouts are immense I would imagine.

Players never decide anything in this game. It’s always the room owners, promoters, & industry. Double elimination keeps people captive in the establishment - table time, food, drinks, side-action, all of it.

With the WPA format of playing sets (like Tennis), I don’t see a problem with single elimination.
