The new U S. pro pool tour

B
The U.S. has a sweet spot, that I think we are in right now. It won't benefit the up and coming U.S. players if the "pro" game gets any bigger here. Sounds crazy, but I'm right. Our game has to be in this middle ground where it doesn't draw in all the international talent. This gives our prospects some space to compete and improve. If the "pro tour" gets too inviting, the international greats can travel the country, knocking off smaller tourneys while sending money back home. This squeezes out potential U.S. pros and encourages them to stay in the amateur world (bar box).

The new U S. pro pool tour

I
A lot has been said in this thread and most of it is pretty hard to argue against.

But I'm surprised nobody has brought up the https://tglgolf.com It's a relatively new venture for golf and imo has some traction. Cities/teams etc ARE important for fan retention and brand loyalty. Most of the world is used to rooting for teams and not individuals with the obvious exceptions. Guys remember there was a time when "big league" baseball had to give the seat away. That's what needs to happen. It likely won't because the players are too narrow minded and the chance of a big sponser like AT&T or Nike or something just isn't incentivized to push pool/billiards. I do believe that if someone could run it for 5 years in the red it could catch on in a team setting if there was any sort of consistency at all. NObody has done anything consistently. A schedule/season that people can learn and expect. Teams that people can grow some attachment to. Pipe dreams really.

TAR On Demand is going away. Download before November 21, 2026

JCIN
Its been a long time since I've stopped by but I hope everyone is doing well. I received notice that Vimeo is discontinuing its Video On Demand service in November and all access to anything anyone has bought will go away. This is not my choice it is something the hosting platform has decided to do despite me paying yearly to maintain the service.

I have set all of the PPV videos to be able to be downloaded by anyone who has bought them. Just wanted to give people a heads up that if you have ever bought any videos and would like to keep them you should go download them before November 21.

Going forward I don't know what I will do with the videos that were on Vimeo. All of them have music that would get nuked by Youtube so not sure thats an option. If there is an option on Vimeo to just make them all public I'll probably do that but I have not gotten that far yet.

I'll check back on this thread over the next few days if anyone has any questions but the above is pretty much all the info I have from Vimeo. I can't answer any support questions on downloading or anything regarding the platform that has to go to Vimeo customer service.

Thanks to everyone who was around back in the TAR days. We had some good times.
