Actually , I think what we witnessed this year in San Antonio , was Gamesmanship instigated by persons unknown (NSCA?) to ensure Homeboys had an advantage.
If you are the organiser of a prestige event run over a number of days , poor organisation would lead to you having to have the Super Final very late in the day such as occurred on Sunday.
When I used to run The White Gold Cup I always ensured that the shoot off took place around 4 p.m. on the Sunday , The Main arena had adequate tiered seating capacity , the contestants were introduced using their favourite tunes and using dry ice and smoke machines and we were normally done and dusted by 6 p.m.
Exactly the same as is now used by Barry Hearn for his Dart matches and Snooker .
We were doing that as early as 1986.
We need , if we are to have Super Final shoot offs , to do it in front of a capacity audience , mid afternoon to allow everyone to get away off home at a reasonable time .
As has been said Ben did shoot the highest score in failing light / Floodlight which to finish second ( first loser) was a fantastic achievement .
But remember when we introduce variable factors into what is essentially a test of eyesight and co-ordination , can it really be a fair competition?
BUT we must give due credit to Bobby Fowler who was there in the end , he is a worthy winner .
If we as a Sport wish to grow we need to be professional , not a bunch of get rich quick at a weekend amateurs.
Interestingly , although well financed and promoted I don't think the PSCA tour has set the World or America alight .
