Wow, imagine the finals being Hill Hill. They would literally be playing a single game for over a Million Dollars, lol.
Please excuse my ignorance but what is a "saver"?? I think I understand the purpose of a saver but how does it work?
Wonder if SJM is head to China, to be part of the event?

Can Americans travel to China on short notice? I always have to get a visa weeks beforehand. And i have to send my passport to a third-party company for a couple of weeks to get it.
It’s an agreement to split the money more equitably so the loser gets some protection. If the winner is supposed to get $100 and the loser $25, they might agree that the winner ends up with $75 and the loser $50. To outside appearances they are playing for the $75 difference, but in reality they are playing for $25.
You can expedite it if you have reason to, which could make it fast as a few days. When I played in a Joy event last year, they gave me an invitation letter that could be used for visa purposes.
you actually think that touring pro 9b players are going to go to China on anything like a regular basis? Not happening. A few will cherry-pick the biggie events but that's about it.
for sure, and duya seems to suit players of american pool better than heyball, given the results i read about. but how long will it last? that liquor sponsor might pull out after one event
anyway i expect players from all cue sports to try their hand here, it seems a bit like the IPT in that regard, it will probably draw a lot
Why not. Just need a sponsor from one of these industries. A million dollars is pocket change for them:
- Liquor
- Tobacco
- Weed
- Sports Betting
- Casinos
$1,000 entry if your Fargo is 800+, $750 for Fargo 750+, $500 for the rest.
3-day event starting Friday night, can be nonstop though Friday night and 24/7 Saturday, but needs to end on Sunday afternoon/evening (not 2AM Monday). Ticket starts at $100 for all 3 days. Tournament time needs to be focused and tailored to fit VIEWERS not player. Viewers will bring attentions and awareness and views and social media engagement, and eventually more sponsors $.
9-ball alternative break, standard table, no BS tight pockets shit, race to 9. Everyone has a chance.
Also allow an online Calcutta that EVERYONE can bid from everywhere. The side action and Calcutta would probably be another 2 millions

I don't know about touring pro 9b players, but Johann Chua, Dennis Orcullo, Jefrey De Luna, Jeffrey Ignacio, Kyle Amoroto, Baseth Mocaibat and ... Alex Pagulayan plan to attend the big Duya event. if those Filipinos go there, others will follow.
mickey krause i think plays duya too
SFO/Beijing is about $1000 if you book early, or $1700 if you are tardy. It seems like it is possible to break even if you can win two matches. Of course, that doesn't pay the mortgage. For that, you need to finish in the top 32.
When you say "Chinese Tables", is this a different type of tables or regular pool table, but made in China?
chinese tables have rounded pockets and directional cloth
for those that dont know, you are the one that gives the form to whom you pay. the t.d. may have them as well if he allows it. this is for u.s. people. i dont know china tax laws and it doesnt matter to people from u.s. unless they hold some back. but if the t.d. cuts checks then it is easy.
if you give part of your winnings to an out of country person you need to have some proof of what you did. which isnt hard to do.
you need to do same as if you win a calcutta and give part away to an investor to cover yourself.
then you only owe on what you collected. not what was advertised.
it goes along the same lines as deducting expenses if it is your profession.
