Could ya'll imagine if there was say just one tournament a month like White Diamonds? Pool would jump in the right direction! Now granted most of money is generated from the Calcutta and they gamble in the south, but it's a formula that could have some success.
For example, What draws the players there? The money. 128 players battling it out because they know they are going to WIN SOMETHING should they get in the top 10%.
Imo, pool players are a bit spoiled. They expect to get something for nothing, basically in regards to tournaments. They wanna put up small entry fees and then count every quarter and expect to get 100 dollars if they win a match. This isn't how the real world works. Take a book out of poker's page. They pay usually only 10% of the field and the tournaments fill up all over the WORLD!
There are a lot of players in the world that would take pool dead serious if they knew they had a chance to play in one tournament a month where they could win 5 to 20k. This is starting off small of course. Imagine if 128 of these people would pay a monthly fee in order to be able to play in these tournaments. I knew leagues were good for something. They get players to pay every week for nothing. Imagine if 128 of the top players in the world paid just 50 or 100 a month to be a member. Surely they could get this sponsored at the very least.
Now somebody steal my idea and run with it!
