we'll have a confirmed list soon

Ok, ok, well let us know ASAP at least who some or most of the players are.

I have my room already booked, but I'm holding off on buying the tickets until I know who is playing.

If my cousin Agnes Kremshaw or my neighbor Filbert Dinglebarf are the star players, I'll be canceling the room, but I know the tickets aren't refundable.

Thanks ... :wave3:
 
What time do the first matches start on the 25th? What time does Sigel play his first match? I am driving up from Baltimore and need to figure out when to leave.
 
Thanks Dennis. With all that's going on the first day, I'll plan on making it that day at the very least. I guess everyone plays that day? Do they play 2 times each day of 3 days in the round robin? I don't know how these events work.

Everybody will play at least twice the first day, some will play 3 times. 7 matches have to be played in 3 days by all participants.

See you guys there. :)
 
Any word on 2009 World's yet?

Anybody hear anything about whether it is going and who are invited?
 
what about the DVDs only? Where can I see which matches are featured, and probably buy some?
 
Charlie told players a couple weeks ago in Vegas that "he is still trying", meaning still looking for a sponsor.

I am surprised how sponsors can be easily lined up for 9 ball tournaments but not for this straight pool tournament.

An international field, full dress tuxedos, a nice venue, enough play via the round robin to guarantee that the world's best will show up, and a title that every self-respecting player in the game would truly covet.

Is it just that this one costs more? Or they have trouble getting the same level of sponsorship? I really can't understand it.

If you are talking about 2008, no videos were officially taken. Some guys had camcorders but I don't know where any of that video is.

Wei, the cue table guy, recorded a few matches, including the finals but he isn't doing anything with them and won't answer questions about them.

The dvds from the 2006 matches are out there. Do a google search for them.

Steve, I agree with all you stated. As you say about the level of sponsorship, in order for it to be sanctioned by the WPA as a world title it has to have 20 or 25k added, can't remember which. Then there is all the other expenses involved that need sponsorship to be covered, probably in the 50k range cash sponsorship. It has taken 1 large sponsor (25k) along with several smaller sponsors in the past.

We can only hope Dragon puts them together, but here we are heading into june and the scheduled event is listed as Aug. 24th..
