Anyone involved in the seeding/placement of participants in the various round robin groups should not be backing anyone in the tournament and should not have a financial interest in the outcome.

mike dechaine is a brash, cocky, pool player with whom you always know where you stand because he is largely unfiltered.

The irony is that if Charlie Williams hadn't trashed Mike on Facebook, Mike probably wouldn't have said anything about why he dropped out.
This thread is hilarious. First the band wagoners all jump on Mike D calling him the pos and saying he should just be a man and play. Then the whole truth comes out and people are like yeah CW is a pos. And all the early posters are deafly silent.
Remember a leopard doesn't change their spots. People should have realized that when CW (or simply anyone that has a questionable past in the pool world) is involved, there was a strong chance of a back story.
What big tournament is up next on the East Coast after this? Oh yeah.....can't wait.
This is Mike's post on CWs Facebook page:
"Plain and simple. Charlie was putting the money up for me to play in the tournament as the #3 seed (I don't think I'm the number 3 seed) and was going to collect half of my winnings. I then decided to put myself in and was changed from the #3 seed to a 9-16th seed. It bothered me that charlie can and did place players where he wanted to line his own pockets because I was not the only player he had put in. So I just decided not to play. That is what happened."
No one should be suprised by any of this.
No promoter should have any financial interest in a player or their results. Ever hear of 'conflict of interest' -
Any seeding procedures need to transparent and fully public info.
Scheduling issues must be ethical and public - remember Corey vs Charlie in Florida?
Just remember the UPA - and the most recent ABP. Both Charlie Williams creations. I personally know of several east coast players that will not participate in any of CW promotions.
I'm not bashing CW - just amazed that ANYONE is suprised when things get kinky.

I find it interesting that as a 3 seed being put in by CW he had no problam with it ,
Then on his money he got dropped to a lower seed and it was all of a sudden a problem
