Tournament organizer admits he gambled away all of the tournament prize money 😂

These stories could go on forever. Played in a match play challenge, at my local course. Big group, not a huge amount of money, but well over four figures. After winning, was told the fees were kept in an envelope be hind the cash register. The owner, his wife, and stepdaughter were the only ones that ever worked behind the bar. They claimed the envelope was stolen. A few years later, won the summer league, clubhouse burns down. I was told the prize money was in the office, and got burned up🤣

Now that we're done with making fun of Johnny Archer, I figured it was time for a thread on a new payment controversy.

Aden Joseph, one of the top African pool players, organized a tournament in South Africa called Ghost Nation. It promised a R500k (~$30k USD) prize pool, so about the scale of a Matchroom Ranking event. After the tournament concluded, a bunch of players complained about not getting paid. Today, the organizer explained that a sponsor pulled out of of the event at the last minute and he decided to try to make up the funding gap via gambling 😂

They should beat every nickel out of this guy, and then kick his ass again, just for good measure.

That excuse is not nearly creative enough....

A new in-house league started near me, so I joined to help support it. About the final week, the room owner had bad news: someone had gotten into his safe and taken all the league funds, so no prizes. Seems they only took the league funds. Also no police report. So sorry.
yeah, similar story here in Atlanta about1995, local room is running a small dollar cash 8 ball team league. gets to the end and the payoff is about a third of what it should be. Me....being a financial auditor, told him hey, x teams for x weeks at x dollars a week equals a pot of xxx dollars, not xx dollars. We won the league so we get XX dollars, pay up, I don't care what lies you can get the other chumps to believe.
