Professional pool prize funds historically.

What year was that? Or what number. Sometimes they had two per year.

Here are some prizes from the 1980s/1990s listed in a previous thread:

The guy in that thread who was making a full spreadsheet of the Sands Regency events seems to have disappeared.
Wow, I am really sorry for making you do all that research. It was Resorts International in Atlantic city 1986

2026 World Snooker Championship: April 18 - May 04

Gary Wilson talking about his struggle with the yips. Never saw the match, but the stats that popped up during it would make you think he played well despite being so frustrated with his performance. As an aside, we were talking about players accents earlier in the thread, I find Wilson's Geordie accent quite pleasant to listen to.

wilson is always brutally honest. he did fall apart. trump got a few crazy rolls, but it was two different garys in the first and second session

Professional pool prize funds historically.

couldnt been a very good turnout if they knew they weren't gonna get paid? or do you mean they played for entrance fees in the end?
I'm going by memory but I think it was that organization that was short-lived. I think Rempe Mizerak maybe Sigel and a couple others were running it. It was essentially I guess a show and the players were in on it.

Diliberto, Sigel, Rempe and Lisciotti tried to do a traveling tournament. Sort of like a circus or a rodeo where you do the same show from town to town. That, I believe is the origin of that picture you see of the four of them in front of a Rolls-Royce called the roadrunners.
