It is coming, slowly but surely.
The ass crack crowd bottom feeders will just have to adjust (and cover up) eventually.

Since when was that the goal? What we have seen, however, is that Matchroom, by managing the presentation of both its product and its players well, has been able to partner with some out-of-industry partners in the production of some of its events, including the Mosconi Cup, which about five years ago paid $20,000 to winning team members and $10,000 to losing team members. Now, it has doubled and the winners get $40,000 and the losers get $20,000. Yes, potential sponsors do care about the presentation of the professional pool product, and when they are reeled in, the players make more money.
There is, perhaps, no event in America that draws more player interest than the Turning Stone Classic, which sometimes fills its field of 128 almost a year in advance. The wait list always has dozens on it, too. The use of a strictly enforced dress code on the Joss Tour, which is probably the most successful regional tour in American history, has hardly turned any would-be entrants away. I think it is just the opposite. It makes players and fans alike more comfortable at a Joss Tour event.
okay but its up to each company to have whatever dress codes or conduct codes they see fit for their business.
and all that are run well seem to prosper. as in most any business.
if getting on tv isn't the goal then a dress code doesn't do much at all. there it will certainly be a factor. it si for a companies standards in their own minds.
and a minimum standard of attire is needed. but that needn't be something others judge as so called presentable.

I think how you present yourself is important. If you look like a professional, then people will respect you like one. I have experienced this many times when I go out of state for trickshot exhibitions. I don't have the name recognition as Venom or Mike Massey, but when I walk into the pool room wearing dress cloths and a vest, people know that I am somebody. I have had people tell me that. I had a guy in California tell me "I haven't heard of you, but you looked like somebody."
Can you speak English?
I will good for English. What irritant? It can be concerned.
Cowboy hijack your account?
I stopped by BullShooter last week in PHX, want to see local Pool Newspaper, called, all about town. December issue was there, so not sure it is in or out of business.
They were having some sort of Pool Tournament and half the people playing could have passed for those crash out from being high sleeping on the sidewalk outside the venue.
Just the image to attract any type of money people for sponsorship, NOT...........don't think this is great for Pool.
BTW for those that do not know BullShooter's it is the largest Room in AZ, did not say cleanest, best smelling or most secure for patrons. Just largest.

Nobody is gonna sponsor pool because pool players are broke and cheap AF.
Everybody needs to get over the fact that pool will NEVER be sponsored by a major company/corporation
I was watching streaming pool one time and my wife was in the room reading but glancing up every now and then. Every match she would say "Oh that guy is going to win." And she was right almost every time. She doesn't know ANY pool players. But she unerringly kept picking the better player.
Finally I asked her how she was picking who would win and she said "The one who is more neatly dressed." She figured that the more meticulous they were about their attire the more meticulous their pool game would be. They would practice with more structure, etc...
That definitely seems to hold up in a lot of cases. Even if both players are just wearing jeans and a t-shirt, the better players usually wear them better. Tucked in, not wrinkled, shoes tied, etc...
