Well, the issue of time came up again during our broadcast of the Hard Times One-Pocket over the weekend. This time it was injected by Marty Herman in the chatroom, saying, "I (Marty) wish people would wake up and start realizing that a one-pocket shot clock/game clock is better for the game."
Marty has subsequently blocked me on Facebook (again) because we have a difference of opinion. Geraldine was more upset about bringing it up than I was and she made a few points which, I wouldn't have necessarily brought up but I believe drove it home for Marty enough for him to block me.
"If you wanna complain about the format of a tournament, quit talking and DO something. Run you're own damn tournament with your own money and put people on a shotclock in YOUR One-Pocket Tournament. Quit trying to tell other people how they should be doing their events!"
I actually had to calm Geraldine down and defend Marty for expressing his opinion, but to no avail, I find myself 'blocked' for the second time in 3 years by the legendary Marty Herman. I have to kind of side with Geraldine too. It's a fine line really. She's got her opinion too and deserves to express it.
What do I think about the issue at hand? Shot Clocks are for Tournament Directors and not for One Pocket Players.
'nuff said!
