Hehehe.
Not when they must follow ALL the rules to the letter.
These folks are not used to the preassures in a tournament such as this, and there is no ESC repairing damage done to a round by the inevitable blowups. Also, gimmies are allowed in handicapping. Some of them probably have not had to actually make a two footer in years.
I too am suprised at some of the high scores reported, but heck, they are under a LOT of preassure here to play well. I give them all high marks for effort.
