James was a great guy for pool and a good friend to me. This is going to be a great memorial for him and something that he would of wanted. I am happy that the Barnett family and Bogies are going to have this event. By the way for all you haters who want to find something to b*tch about when someone is going to do something good for pool go find another thread to b*tch in. This is a memorial tournament in which I know was something that James asked his family to do for him if anything happened to him so leave it at that. James was a great guy for pool and I ask you to give him and his family the respect that they deserve for having these events in honor of him.
 
Is this going to be an annual event? I am doing all I can to move to Houston in the next year or two.

Probably will be E.

I have just received confirmation that Joe Salazar will have his extensive selection of cues on hand!!! He has cues ranging from $80 to $8,000!!

Be sure and check out Joe's collection, especially if you are planning on getting a new cue!! I Purchased my Tulipwood Schon Elite from Joe that is now owned by sc5!!!!! :shocked:

I'm glad you're involved to Shuff!! Many people in the south know of your great skills on the table but few are aware of what a great tournament director you are as well.

Looking forward to working together on this!!

Yea Ray you too buddy. You know just as well as I do that if your around the tournaments as much as me you pick up real quick on what works and what doesn't work. That's why we are a good team.

If anyone has any questions or need to know any specifics about the tourney just feel to free to ask.
 
I wish I could be a part of this one. It sounds like one heck of a weekend of pool! I added it to my recently started list for Texas tournaments. Best of luck with it!

If you have any more please stop by and let me know! :thumbup:
