I agree SJM about Roy's basement.
Get the best pool players in the world and set up matches for them, hardly a power player.
Diamond for sure deserves a spot.

What a pile of garbage this list is! It almost looks like it was randomly generated or pieced together by some who are out of touch with the realities of pool today.
Where's Diamond Billiards? They've added the WPA sanctioned Diamond 10 ball Open to what may be the best event of the year in American pool, namely the Derby city Classic. They've also revolutionized the game's equipment and brought the pool table itself to a previously unsurpassed level. Greg Sullivan's profound influence and continuing contributions to the sport were rightly celebrated when he earned entry to the BCA Hall of Fame last year.
Roy's Basement a powerbroker? They are an asset to pool but have little to do with more than a few players and have almost no say or influence in how our sport moves forward at the pro level. Roy's Basement a greater powerbroker than WPA? If this list was meant to be an exercise in comedy, mission accomplished.
The only thing they definitely got right is putting Matchroom #1, although a case can be made for APA as well for #1.
