Large battery operated clocks in room area, similar to ones used at swimming pool events. Located where ALL players can see em, might have a couple 4 in the main room.
Have a DCC employee on the upper floor at all times relay match scores, oversee shots give em a desk area.
sSlow pPlay....
If your opponent IS slow playing....you must NICELY.... let your opponent KNOW they are too slow, with a warning....if it happens again your opponent must go to the TD desk, hand over his player ID/lanyard... to retrieve a clock.
HOF Banquet, should not be in the way of play.
Tell Greg, I truly enjoyed NO jump sticks for 9 ball.
A huge time saver for 9 ball, and its good for the game and the event, see below.
9 ball....WINNER BREAKS, LOSER RACKS.
RACKER CAN RACK 1 BALL ANYWHERE ON THE PAPER.
Rackers job, rack em tight, find a legal spot for the one ball, on the foot spot where your opponent is NOT pocketing balls on his break....''all the time"....
When Your racking your losing, it's a position all it's own in 9 ball. The subservient position of being the racker against the dominate postion of the breaker should not be toyed with. Top flight rotation pool is an aggressive game, it's style should not be diminished thru rule changes that ''take away'' from it's beauty and the moments they create.
Racking 9-ball;
Your goal ....PLAY FAIR and....when your on the ''receiving end''....stop the bleeding, rack em tight....& get back to the table ASAP.
