Why didn't more players play in the one pocket at the EXPO?

i know right.......US open.....16 f'n players.....i wanted to go play very bad, but with slower work in the gulf, the money its costed to get that pool program i started up and going, expanding my familys shop an equipment.....and not long between the notice of the event and the actual event.....if i had known at the new year....could have been there no issues....... :(

Yes, it's a shame that so few are playing in the two US Open events this week. The straight pool event was announced in December, but I think it was February before the one-pocket info was public. And only about 6 to 8 pro-level players are in the fields (although that includes some of the best). Kudos to the two Marks for holding these events, and I certainly hope they don't end with this year's effort. But something different certainly needs to be done to get more top players into the events.

Us opens

CSI is adding the full amounts:
$5,000 in one pocket
$10,000 in straight pool

Held in a quality room - walking distance from airport and lots of eating places.
$67 room with free breakfast- best deal ever! Hotel is 500 feet from hotel.

That's pretty solid right there, Mark...and cheap. Don't know what more you can do for the players short of driving to their homes to pick them up and bring them...lol.
