Long Day

Played in a pool tournament Saturday for APA Masters league. The tournament is free entry and they gave away $1000 for total prize pool. Pretty kick ass considering the guy that owns this league is a liar and overall a douchebag. In addition was a APA captains tournament as well as a BCA tournament there.  Some guys were playing in two or even all three tournaments so if you were playing a guy doing that sometimes you would have to wait til they played in another one.  I played at around 11am and beat a guy on my Wednesday BCA team. Then I played shortly thereafter around 1pm and beat that dude 7-6. Then had a little wait and played around 4pm and beat Doug 7-6 and finished around 5pm. I then had to sit and wait until 10pm or so. I didn't play well at all my last two matches, I struggled having to sit there that long. Most people were in the same boat but they managed to keep it together better then I did. I won $150 for my 3rd place effort so no complaints at all from me but this is exactly what can happen at any tournaments and I've usually not responded well when I've had to sit for an extended period of time. I finished up around midnight so I spent 13.5 hours at the poolhall. I'll be doing it again this weekend though, free entry tournament that the first prize is a trip to Vegas. This is going to be a handicapped tournament and I'm pretty sure I'll have to spot everyone at least one game but I still like my chances to finish real well.
