Hey AZB...what gives?
- Thread starter Z-Nole
- Start date
There's no coverage of the ginky memorial which is one of the northeast's biggest amateur tournaments aswell.
Give it some time. Maybe someone's on vacation?

Azbilliards takes a fairly random approach to things. It includes Chinese pool winnings in the money list one year, ignores them the next year and the year after that it includes them again. It fronts up about about the Supreme Pool Series (English Pool) but when Karl Boyes (a world champion and a big figure in “American Pool”) wins one of the tournaments it forgets that English pool exists.
To be fair, it’s one of the best places to find out what’s going on. Cuescore is good too as is Alison Chang but there is no single go to place for pool news. We are not there yet.
jimmyco -- surely Google has it as YOUR main page.
Zero coverage of the bi annual multidiscipline 500 player carom event
Zero coverage of the usba national 3c tournament
Oops, I misunderstood the question.
“Sending in” results? Ah, it’s the organisers’ fault. Lol.
Maybe they heard about it. It was in the in the NY times. Jesus they crapped the bed on this one. AZ should be the top link if someone googled the story.
Yeah how money posts up has alway baffled me too, sometimes action matches total in and sometime they don’t. Organizers being the problem does’t seem legit. This is basically news, the site or publication should pursue the info, not the other way round.
All and all though, I still think AZ is the best we have, and will continue to support.
Rumor has it that AZB plans on coordinating the Schmidt 626 record breaking run announcement on the next Gold Give Away date. 
Staffing
AZB should seek out the news. Staff should include at least a dozen paid roving reporters in the US, a couple for just the Philippines, a couple for the rest of Asia, three or four more for Europe. A handful of paid correspondents to cover the big money matches too. Two or three editors and a handful of staff writers to turn what reporters and correspondents send in into readable stories that are coherent and cohesive and they should have a good start of an organization to go out and seek the news. I want to see a criminal reporter or two also just to keep us updated on crimes committed against people in the pool world like Mike Surber and Edwin Reyes; the shenanigans that people in the pool world are up to also. Probably need a snooker bureau and chinese pool bureau too. Putting together these worldwide news organizations can be complicated.

So often it is the organizer’s fault....I have followed tournaments on AZ....
...and then you can’t even find out who won....not even on their web site...
....eventually it comes from a player, when asked in a post.
When snooker was bigger in my area in the 80s, some people would inform radio, tv, and
newspapers....sometimes there was a response.
Those who just waited to be discovered got nothing.
AZ is still a wonderful pool site...all AZ posters are a source of information...
...and some do great write-ups.....if they’re there...SJM is one of my favorites.
...Terry Hanna is on the ball also...Freddie is great.
All and all, i think we do a pretty good job ourselves....
...if an AZer poster doesn’t know about the 626, he has an attention span of a house fly.
You do a terrific job for the carom world...don’t give up...we read you
Why bite the hand that feeds you?
The forums here pretty much provide real-time coverage of anything going on in the pool world.

Personally, if I'm on the main page, I got there by mistake.
Actually, you could watch the stream for free using the live stream forum while the event was in progress and there was an article about the results in AZB headline news.
