I just saw an announcement about the regional tour championships... on the home page which is sponsored by the WPBA... Great but what is actually going on with the WPBA itself? Have they had any actual events this year or are any coming up? I see nothing on their website calendar? I know there was a Masters event held in Feb though I don't think this was a regular tour stop?
Why can they organize the RTC but not actual tour stops....? They use to have as many as 8 events a year! I know times are tough but ever since Peg Ledman left the tour has gone down hill fast. I have heard from one tour player that the powers the be thought they did not need her and could do it all themselves... failing to realize she was the one who had all the connections & relationships with the casino venues. Basically they thought they could run the show without the engine.... only to discover way too late how bad an ideal that was!
I just think its all very sad, it was at one time a great tour that had really overcome the odds. With so much strong, young talent coming up... I think it really could have made pool a bigger draw in the sports arena, if it had been handle right.
