Right you are. Johnson's corner is amazing. All there food is very good, I drove by this place for years and never stopped in. Now I will not pass by without eating.
CA vs CO - state/cities with most tournaments
- Thread starter samshaw314
- Start date
Someone I am sort of related too in distant way goes to Fort Collins twice a year. He never stopped, until I told him about food, now he stop every trip. Brings Cinnamon Buns home for family.
Arizona 10-15 years ago when AZHOUSEPRO Pro was doing his local paper had I would sat 50-60 tournaments weekly all over Greater Phoenix. Plus on any weekend another 4-7 special events.
Many places closed, paper gone, nothing like it was.
Progress I guess.
Colorado should be model other sre follow, starting with working together.

There's still a plethora of tournaments in the valley throughout the week... As long as you don't get too high on the Fargo scale. A 500 speed player can probably play 7 nights a week and find action every night.
Its always been catering to recreational players in Valley, under old AZ Rating System, once you hit Nine, about the only thing open was OPEN EVENTS.
Fargo sounds like same old game with new name, discriminate against players, vis Fargo Number.
So 98% of the players are in pool heaven out here. Not a bad place to be if you're a pool player.Its always been catering to recreational players in Valley, under old AZ Rating System, once you hit Nine, about the only thing open was OPEN EVENTS.

Don’t worry like you said once Pool is not big deal in life.
Maybe you are over achiever, who blew it, when you should have sandbagged.
Don't worry, I believe you'd still be eligible for any pool tournament.Don’t worry like you said once Pool is not big deal in life.

9 footers? or just barboxes?
There’s more people in Ca than ever. Just take a drive and you’ll see. The reason there’s no pool is the economics of pool haven’t worked for 25 years in Ca. Rents are too high, alcohol licenses are too hard to get & people have forgot what pool is. It’s just a thing of the past.
9' Brunswick GCs, 9' Diamonds, and 7' Diamonds. You can pick your poison there.
Felt has Diamond bar boxes and Diamond and GC 9 footers.
They just enlarged the room.
There are 11 9 footers and about 20 (?) 7 footers plus a snooker table.
And great food.
Yup, I miss the breakfast burritos there.
Not a big deal to play in competition, those days are over me me personally.
The reward doesn’t justify the time, effort, driving at night.
I'll take your word for it as I'm on the other coast. The reports I hear say the population is declining but I don't know how officials they are, and they can have some political motivations.
I hear that too. But can’t see it. Everywhere there’s more traffic. NorCal, SoCal, Central Ca. There’s a hell of a lot of people moving to Vegas, Phoenix, Texas and Florida. But even with all that-and that’s clear-sure doesn’t feel like we have less people anywhere in Ca. I’ve lived all over Ca and Vegas my whole life, I have a good memory and feel for things.
I believe the Ca is shrinking is some politically motivated narrative, which I don’t know the underlying motive for. Possibly we aren’t growing fast as we did in the 70’s 80’s and like in the 50’s when my parents came out.
It’s a fair statement we don’t have that growth, we aren’t shrinking from what I can see.
For the record, I’m done with Ca, I’m leaving sooner than later. I’m tired of it too. They have destroyed Ca from its glory days.
Possibly that’s it losses off people like me making lots of noise and attention that’s misunderstood as “shrinking”.
But net loss in population? I ain’t buying that. Sit in traffic that used to take a hour 20 years ago and now it’s 2.5-3 hours and that net loss Theory goes right out the window.

Thanks! My motto is - Have 9 footers, will drive!
go on FB and check out the local pool player pages of the towns you are interested in. That should give you a pretty good feel. Theres five or six groups out here in CO that are all just copies of each other, all getting the same posters for league and tournaments pretty much every day.
There’s a $10-$20 entry tournament just about every single night of the week all within about an hour's drive of each other.
i dont know what im doing wrong but ive mostly encountered league players or folks that only want to gamble around here. It thats your speed you might like it a lot
