How long does a 16 person Double Elimination Pool Tournament Take on Average.?

Question

One Table, Average Players..
Also, how much longer would it take to play Best out of 3 sets?

Answer 1

With one table??? Oh my god this would take all day and night ...better pack a lunch. ha.ha. Well it mainly depends on what game is being played. A nineball tournament shouldnt take as long as an eightball tournament. "Best out of three games" will indeed be longer than a "single game" system. I would at least set aside 5 to 6 hours for this tournament on one table. Good luck.

Answer 2

It depends on the game your playing and what the opponents are racing to. We have race to 3, double elimination , nineball tournaments on sunday afternoons and we use 2 tables. We usually have 10 or 12 players most of whom are pretty good shooters. These tournaments usually last 5 or 6 hours. Seeing how you only have 1 table a race to 3 would take quite a long time. You may want to keep it a race to 1 and have the tourney director keep things moving as fast as possible. You could use longer races and make it a single elimination tourney as well. Good luck to ya!
