The venue looked great in my opinion.
This scale of event costs a lot of money.
They need more big sponsors in order to afford a longer tournament that will allow for a bigger player’s field and bigger prizes.

I want to say “baby steps” but that’s just sounds weird as America should be leading this and not trailing behind.
But it is what it is and got to start somewhere and hopefully it’ll grow.

Top players should understand that they will benefit from this in the future and they should play their part and show up, even if the prizes are not that great at the beginning.
Money comes and go, titles stay forever. National titles should not be about money but it is a good incentive.

This looks like a? Danny James? E. Coast Joss.
Not sure if I got Dans last name correct.
Don't remember Billy having that Joss logo.

Not a marathon by today's standards, but certainly a long race.

So you don’t use chalk or shape your tip because it has nothing to do with the tip .. it’s all because of technique ?

I had a jb mason when I last commented on this and while I loved everything about in in the end I sold it as for it was just a little to small.. I ordered a butterfly case last week and I’ll be counting the days until that thing gets here!

Man, Flora Bama Bar looks like my kinda paradise! Beach bar on the water, large stage for live bands, and 1 Valley bar box to beat the vacationers out of their money!

I think Fedor has a solid edge playing banks for what that’s worth. I’d take Josh playing straight pool for any amount you can count though. Rotation games, who cares.

Earl & Sigel played a Challenge Match in 9-Ball, in 1985, Race to 45- Earl 45, Sigel 44. Does this qualify as the two best players matching up, in 9-Ball?
