Same buyer for both in the Calcutta made it easier to split.

Who was that smart handicapper?

Sounds like a fun time, overall, but another tourney with time issues.

Were the long matches more because of (1) excessive thinking or (2) wedges and uptable games. (1) can be fixed in several ways but I think the only fix for (2), assuming it needs to be fixed, is some version of Grady rules.

All of the above. The pockets played tight and that didn't help w/choices of shot when the pressure and importance got racheted up. There were more than one match taking 6+ hours I think. One was 6 1/2 hours for sure. Thank god for Sammy Jones having none of that during the 3/4th match, or there was no way the semis are finished by 4am. This is why a shot clock may help a little but the choices of shots is what dictates the time of the match more than studying a shot for 2-3 mins, but that doesn't help. Tough problem to solve.

I really wanted to watch and learn but I had no patience to watch the real long matches, so I go home without learning anything again. :) I will be watching the seniors on the stream to try to learn something. Looking forward to watchin Tony & Alex play even though there will be a few long games it will not be the norm if Tony has anything to say about it.
