as said by sjm independent events need to schedule around the major events not the other way around even if they are big.
otherwise other ones will pop up and it will be a nightmare. and a few players they lose to buffalo's doesn't hurt one bit. and probably improves the event as others can make it big and come in the money when they normally are totally dead money.

the beginner part has been lost.

they dont play tangent angles. english just makes them miscue as they still cant hit where they are aiming. and they dont even know where to aim as they haven't shot enough shots to have it come to them.
just making a few balls is an accomplishment and getting some lucky position is a start.

beginners miss the pocket by 3 or 4 inches regularly.

Im giving up on az . I have not recieved any pms from you.

Correct, that's what the plugins are for. Apparently, if you have an actual kindle it's not that hard. Download Calibre, download a plugin called DeDRM, plugin your kindle and you can transfer them to Calibre. I'm not going post all of the instructions but again, use my search term above and see what you find. And as mentioned, I have not done this specifically so can't confirm, but I would venture to say it works.

As far as Prime goes, I don't know. I only have a few books on Amazon and honestly, I haven't even looked at it for a few years until this post. But, I don't have prime and they still work.

I think the gist of the stuff I read was not possible anymore but I'll give that a look. Biggest concern is Amazon's server farm collection is a behemoth. (u12armresl just posted a bit about POI TV show too)
I think you could probably copy stuff off your end manually or photos if you had to have notes.

I think reading off their servers would be ok if there is no paper available.

Are you still looking for a Bear cue?

It would have been better to watch Josh and Fedor battle it out at Buffalo’s where the winner gets $40,000 and the Calcutta worth $150,000 that gets split up. If Josh and SVB would have been there the Calcutta probably would have been $250,000 to the winner. Not bad for an independent tournament.

WNT is doing the same thing next year.

Yes, the prize fund is big at Buffalos. So what?

You have argued that WNT should schedule around Buffalos and I can't see any reason they should. Historically, some events in American WPA sanctioned tours (such as PBT and UPA) had date protection, but I'd guess that no independent event has ever had it since the formation of the WPA in the 1980s.

I can appreciate that as a fan, you are disappointed that Buffalos didn't draw a better field with defending champ Filler and 2026 Derby City one pocket champ SVB in the mix, but we have reached a point in the game where the top few players can pick and choose their events and still earn a good living.
