Yeah. even with it shortened.. will take a good hour to 2 hours to complete one group fixture.. not mentioning the quarters or semis lol

Edit: its even longer than clan games and they are pretty long.

I dont say you should change it cos people might like long games.. however..

I think that with a maximum of:

9 frames in 8 ball us, 9 ball us, 8 ball uk
10 frames in 8 arcade and 9 arcade
1 frame in straight..

Thats 20 frames if a match was to go the full extent (thats in the group stages).. 20 frames could take easily 2 hours.

Then it just gets longer and longer.

To shorten it perhaps making it:

2 frames of 8 ball us, 9 ball us, 8 ball uk, 8 arcade, 9 arcade
1 frame of straight.

this makes it 11 frames - still pretty long but at least players know what they are signing up for.. at the moment they could get a 13 frame game or a 20 frame game.. then in semis could take up to 4 hours +

i think its alright to be honest, what about not playing every game type untill the semis, for example look at how im running the clan tour, only in the final is every game type played

You should do something like first best out of 4 on 8 ball arcade and 9 arcade so you can get draws for group stage. Then in later stages something like best of 5 on 8 ball then next round 9 ball then 8 UK then final evrything but up to you guys just suggesting some ideas

Why do games have to be played all at once exactly? what's wrong with stopping and going back to them? The only thing id decrease is the amount of straight frames to 1.

By the way id like to join this event, looks a good idea
