Neil needs to get back to his roots. Time to replace all your posts with a line of dots ASAP.
A Huge Thank You from CueSports International (CSI)!
- Thread starter CSI - Ozzy
- Start date
Business as usual i see.
There is one thing that sticks out about this particular thread that I find interesting.
The fact that some former pro CSI people are now coming out and criticizing CSI's actions, is in itself, very telling.
There is a way to be professional about things, and there is a way to do it like a scumbag.
Veiled/direct threats about someone's future earning ability is the way of the scumbag.
And people wonder why pool is in the sh!tter.
Next thing you know, CSI's gonna have it's VERY OWN collection of room keys.
I mean, hey, they are learning from the best, right?

Since Oscar scheduled the event with the intention of streaming it, the mistake was his. To call my comment asinine and butcher the spelling of asinine so badly, is well, pretty asinine.
Might as well, most on here don't seem to understand logic or business or much of anything else except mob mentality.
Yes, you missed a lot. There was no tournament going on. It was in between the Pro tournaments. There was a competing challenge (exhibition) match taking place for which CSI thought they should not have to face any streaming competition.
Also, I didn't buy the Big Truck stream because of the 3 hour delay. Had no interest in staying up to 4 or 5 in the morning to watch.
I bought both Oscar matches over the 4 days (not the CSI because of 7 footers) - didn't like the 3 hour delay either. The shitstorm I was referring to was this thread.
I will say one more time, when you are piggy-backing on an event like this, it is professional courtesy to check with the event sponsors to make sure there is no conflict. THEN you decide from there what to do if there is. Not checking was the mistake and I know Oscar is smart enough to have learned his lesson. I also do not like Ozzy's power play, however, for obvious reasons.

Yes I inferred that his comment about wanting to write a book of the going ons of the inside of the pool world was a negative, especially with this thread here. But it doesn't have to be so I stand corrected and making that assumption. Only Ozzy knows what he meant by his post.
All of Ozzy posts on Facebook are positive. I remember one of his earlier comments of pool players complaining of losing on 7 foot tables when they would win on a 9 footer --- but again that doesn't have to be a negative.
Next time you're in bed with a lady... and about midway through, take a 3 hour break. You'll love it!

I will agree from a business stand point it makes perfect sense to eliminate competition. That being said it doesn't make it right or flood a positive light on the game we all love.
Hopefully it's handled better in the future or they just agree to compete for the viewing audience.
At Jay's age, that's standard operating procedure.
lol... This isn't a shitstorm. This is AZperusual. Try asking a question about aiming...
You've got the most significant pool organization in the country in the midst of its annual hurrah for both amateur and professional play scheduling two challenge matches amongst pretty much the best players on US soil for people all over with an internet connection to see.
Then you've got Oscar--a top player and up-and-coming promoter who appears all around to be a class act, and Ray--a promoter extraordinairre who has done a ton to bring excitement to many events--who inadvertently scheduled a competing pay-per-view match.
It's an unfortunate situation, but if we're all for pool, it is a no-brainer how to proceed. "Oscar, Ray, and I [Ozzy] all agreed that this was a good solution and would benefit everyone."
Good! Cool! Good for cooperation. Good for the kind of relationship building from which we all will benefit. Good for pool.
But wait!
Then word comes that "the other player's backer" had a problem...
the other player's backer?
really?
Skyler seems like a nice kid, and he's certainly one of the best players in the country. I just don't see Skyler being recalcitrant like that.
... the other player's backer...
tail trying to wag the dog
let's move on to CTE aiming or something...
Ozzy said that his event dates was posted first
and
Cleary says the fight night match was posted first
who is correct? Anyone know?
Kd

LOL - now that's called sweating!
Okay grammar police. I'm responding on a phone. But you got me. Oh you got me good.
Oscar would play in my basement. He doesn't care much about the glory of streaming.
Be thorough in your recap, instead of picking so selectively.
Yes, move on to CTE or Fargo ratings

I'm going off of what ozzy said...
"...Neither of the three parties knew that we had already scheduled and announced The Kamui Challenge and The Tiger Challenge for July 22 and 23 beginning at 5pm each day.
When I saw the flyer for their match, I immediately called Ray Hansen..."
I have no idea who posted first, nor do I care. It's no excuse for strong arming Sky
