The new U S. pro pool tour

Also, it takes the proper marketing, you can't get behind your team, if no one knows they're even playing.

To get it started it would probably take twice the money that the tour takes to market it properly. Like I said, big money.

Easy-e this is one of the other reasons that the saguaro cup didn't do all that well. I didn't even know it was going on when it was going on and I'm a local. Hell I might've wanted to play on one of the teams.

How long have you been a local? The last one was several years ago.

Yeah but that was a mix of good players and not so good players. I'm talking best of the best teams. No one would follow the cubs, the cowboys, the rangers if they mixed in high schoolers with the good players.

It was the best of the designated areas. I would love to follow pool teams of the best regional players. But the same thing would happen. Everyone would want to play, so they'd design their own lower-level teams and have their own competitions.

I mean was it a mistake, a poor imitation, a way around a copyright or something?? What gives? You say only one exists and it's at the 'Smythsonean", I take it that is just a joke? Was the "Mazerak" just a bad copycat cue?? Are you poking fun at the OP?? I am having a tough time making heads or tails out of this thread. Maybe its time to go get one of those "no regerts" tatoos.

Yes it is just a joke.

That's why there are misspellings in my post.

As far as I can tell the OP was poking fun with the original post anyway.

The original post also included something about AI commenting on it, so I had AI make a cue with that misspelled name on it.

Look at who the OP is. Do you really think it is a serious question?

Just watch the recent documentary hbo did on pro bowling.. they are in a worse situation then pool . Those guys are sleeping 4 to a room to try to afford to compete and thats top players who have won titles. In fact at the end of the documentary fox told them they were no longer sponsering them and they didn’t even know if there would be a tour anymore. I was stunned. I thought bowling was doing well.

I know I can't stand watching bowling anymore since so many stopped using their thumbs in the ball. They look like kindergarteners trying to throw a ball that is way too heavy for them when they don't use their thumb in the ball.

Jaden is right on the fan engagement. If there is a team aspect of it, it is more likely to draw fans. The World Cup is a perfect example. You might not watch or like soccer, but you will root your country on.

A lot of people hit on the financial aspect of this. How many times has someone said "Joe Rogan is a fan and has money. Why can't he invest in a tour." Because he is smart and knows that it's probably a money loss. Promoters need to make money from events and having free streams and not charging people to watch the events in person is a horrible business model.

Agree on the team thing. Here's the problem I see with it though... In AZ we had the Saguaro Cup, like the Mosconi Cup but with the best players from the East Valley going against the best players from the West Valley. It was awesome. After a few years, all of the NON-top players started to complain that they never get picked. So they all created a different team competition. Now they have East vs West for different fargo ranges. Everyone except the players over like 660 can participate. And the Saguaro Cup is dead.

Everything has to be fair, everyone has to be included. It's the way pool seems to work. It reinforces the idea that even pool players don't want to watch pool, they'd rather play.

Doc's video shows that the chalk wears off of the cue ball with play, not that the cue ball picks up even more chalk. I think the table would have to be covered in an unusual amount of chalk for the balls to pick up enough chalk to cause skids.

His table is a well maintained home table, not your average bar or pool hall.
