Whatever your motivation is or was for putting up the prize money for the challenge, I respect it. Maybe it's to promote Billiard University, attract people to the camps, or simply give something back to the pool community.

That said, I have no interest in putting up my own money into the prize pool when the best-case outcome for me is merely getting my money back. That's not really an appealing proposition from my perspective.

As I mentioned before, my original idea was a bet. To me, odds somewhere in the 15:1 to 20:1 range on somebody achieving a perfect score would be attractive, and that's the kind of situation where I would consider risking my own money. (If 30 people would be willing to put up $100 to find out if they can be the first to get a perfect score, taking the bet on 20:1 would obviously be a no brainer. Especially if you would estimate that in 98% you never have to pay out.)

I'd also be willing to put my money up against yours in a side challenge: first person to achieve a perfect score in either drill (or both drills) wins the pot.

But contributing money to the challenge itself, with the possibility of only winning back what I put in, doesn't really make much sense to me.

My buddy Bryan left home for Montana almost 20 years ago now. I thought he’d get himself a mountain woman, but he’s still livin’ that bachelor life. Makes it sound as if his hardest decision is whether to take the drift boat or jet boat. I try to live vicariously through him.

He was telling me one of his favorite trips is on the Little Bighorn River called a “cast and blast” trout fishing/duck hunt. Said you’ll be fighting a fish and have to tuck the rod away, so you can pick up your shotgun. Someday I’ll make it up there.

So this isn’t too far off thread; have you ever taken a piss on the continental divide and thought that someday it would end up in the Atlantic and Pacific?
