If concurrent I totally get it. I feel this so short sited by the WBPA if it is not concurrent. The best thing you can do is get more eyes on the players and entice people to come watch your events. There are even cross promotion options that help both and grow pool. I really feel a lot of the pool organizations don't understand how to grow a business.

I've had a few and unless someone has to make a business work, they generally don't understand it when they do things that get in the way....contract or not. Nothing says contracts can't be in their own bad interests which I think is part of the problem. Strictly my opinion.

Hamms was the one that had barrel shaped cans, weren't they??

Bump for interest.

run a bunch of balls and when sitting on the rail in the pool room they will say to your next customer hey that guy ran 100 balls or some such.

if you are a money player you dont ever do that. if a fun player or tournament player then that is certainly in your favor.

yes, and why should i let some guy on the rail win part of the money i intend to win from the guy i am playing.

For those thinking backhand English involves moving the grip hand sideways during the stroke (“swiping” the CB): do you think fronthand English includes moving the bridge hand sideways during the stroke?

willie mosconi

steve mizerack

all three names were common to the general public and part of some conversations.
absolutely no present pool players are known to the general public, and no conversations are about pool.

the ingredient lost is character.

Price lowered to $450.

Given the absolute silly sports/games/ events that have watered down what used to be the premier test of real athleticism, why the hell not?
