Just wanted to give an update on what I know about the New proposed Tour, as I have received a few calls from friends...Given the constant talk and history regarding big money Tours I have to admit I wasn't going to hold my breath, but today the N.A.C.P.B.A placed an order for 36 tables, lights, carts etc.!!....... However, I'm not picking up the check until the Mosconi Cup in Vegas...So, I know I'm not supposed to count on anything until the money's up, but I can't help it, I'm very excited!!!!....... Just want to let ya know Diamond is just a table manufacturer and Mark and Myself have nothing to do with the Tour other than we've promised our support in assisting table and light setups and any other information we can supply.

thanks

Greg,

This is much appreciated. It is nice to have any real information even if it isn't written in rock until a check is cut.

Did you notice that it says that Pros must do 80 hours of charity of public service work per season.

What's that exactly?
 
community service

My guess would be that it will be exhibition matches for community centers or working in community projects to help the poor, etc..etc... to try and bring the image of pool back up into the realm of respectable. The tour would have to have a pretty good PR campaign if it hopes to elvate the sport any.

With 22 stops that works out to about 4 hours per event. Maybe they are taking a page out of the PGA book and having the players do charity Pro-Am's.

Good idea IMO.
 
Greg,

just a curious question.

But did they specify any certain pocket size or cut? or a specific cloth to be put on the tables?

Ok - I am lazy. Someone that knows tell me when the Mosconi Cup in Vegas is so I don't have to look it up.

Greg- When you pick up that check, make sure you make a copy of it first before cashing it.

N.A.C.P.B.A. - Don't these guys know anything about marketing. All major sport organizations (besides the NCAA) in this country are 3 letters. Who is going to remember NACPBA?

If it works we'll ALL remember it with no problem!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

This news from Greg does put the big C on Credibility. If the check is good it'll be time for a lot of guys to start getting the membership money together.
 
Interesting Greg, very interesting. We'll have to see what transpires from there. That's a pretty big order. I wonder where they will store all those tables. Ok, I'm just thinking out loud.

By the way, the Mosconi Cup is Dec. 13-16 at the MGM in Vegas. Come on down, I'll be there.

That is a tall order. Congratulations to you and your people.

We understand you are the supplier and not the tour. At least the eqipment will be great. Too bad you aren't doing the setup yourself. The setup in Dallas was freat that is until we screwed uup and the light came down.

I have to admitt that once it was obvious nobody was injured, well, your expression was worth a million bucks.

Anybody hear anything about NACPBA and Greg sealing the deal at the Mosconi Cup on the tables?
 
How Embarassing

DIAMOND TABLES; CONGRATS. DISCUSSING DIAMOND TABLES AT THE MOSCONI CUP USING A BEAUTIFUL BRUNSWICK GOLD CROWN .......................
 
just curious where all of those tables will be used - i mean, with a limited field, there is not a need for 36 tables. it is extremely difficult to find a venue that will hold all of them. for instance, Turning Stone has about 14-15 tables if i am not mistaken and that takes up the entire center of a convention area with bleacher seating.
