I was there as well.... and although I do agree with alot of what this man has said about his experiences as the owner did have several tables closed for non practice and if we wanted to practice we had to pay 10 dollars an hour. The second day of the tourny we had to play at 1 pm and the place didn't open till 12 noon. We couldn't practice very long as the staff was still cleaning up.
That being said the room WAS VERY NICE and I chalked the inconvienances up to the Grand Opening Tournament (as advertised) and a new place. There were 74 players playing in this thing which is a boat load. The place was a mad house and completely slammed. Noone expected such a turnout and I expect there would be problems due to this. The food was exellent and the Equipment was superb (tables).
The only complaints I would have would be:
Every Tourny Table had different cueballs (Arimath, blue circle, red circle) tough to adjust at times lol
Lack of seating (chairs) ... probably due to the unexpected turnout!
Lack of practice tables ....but in defense of that everyone was in the same boat.
Other then that like I said it was a Fantastic Pool Room and I hope it does well! Also Shannon and Marge and The Great Southern Billiards Tour RUN A ABSOLUTE FANTASTIC TOURNAMENT ... I hope they continue to run these things well into the future. They certainly know what they are doing!
