Without the chart and brackets, it is difficult to discern who beat who and whether it occurred in the winners or losers side. The way I read the results, Danny Harriman beat Earl Strickland 11 to 2 and thereafter had to play Mike Davis. The semi-finals and finals recorded by ESPN are a race...

Cuetone, you are a nice lady, but I think you need to make another phone call. In December of 2003, the UPA ranking system was in full force and effect. This is the same ranking system that was used by the UPA administration to select the 32 highest ranked UPA members to attend the upcoming...

In December of 2003, the UPA ranking system was not available for public disclosure. It is still not available for public disclosure. It is uncertain how the 32 UPA members were selected by the UPA when they provided the list to the BCA in December of 2003. The UPA neglected to contact some...

Mystery continues In hindsight, the UPA should have considered sending Danny Basavich an invitation letter by mail. The UPA had a full presence at the UPA sanctioned Valley Forge tournament in March of 2004. Danny Basavich was present as well. The BCA Open occurred in Las Vegas in May of...

That was very kind of you. The BCA Open is the "top 32 UPA guys" selected by the UPA. To date, the UPA ranking system and points have not been made available for public disclosure. It is odd that Danny Basavich's telephone number and address were not provided in the UPA player's contract...

The points and ranking system of the Men's Florida Pro Tour, Cuetone, do not dictate who gets to play in the upcoming WPC, BCA Open, and other tournaments around the world. It is a very successful regional tour which is growing in popularity, evidenced by the attendance of many top professional...

Objectivity and the truth Bingo, Mate.

In case you haven't noticed, Cuetone, there are others who have expressed concern over the UPA's inequitable ranking system. Time will tell, Cuetone. If the UPA exerted the same effort to its membership as they do to wheeling and dealing with prospective sponsors, it would be one happy UPA...

It is quite evident that "those guys" don't need to check this forum, Cuetone, since they've got you relaying all of the helpful information, to include use of a telephone. The issues of the billiard world and ESPN will be a moot point very soon if and when the UPA members list diminishes...

This is a fantastic deal on the room rates. I will be there, and I am thinking of bringing the entire family. What a fabulous vacation, to include pool! :D Please keep us updated on the happenings. I have bookmarked the website and look forward to hearing more. This is really going to be...

Cardiac Kid, maybe you ARE a pool player who has no aspirations to attend a BCA or a WPC, but there may be other aspiring pool players who feel differently than you. The current UPA ranking system is unfair, period. I'm sure Robert Lipson, Frank Alvarez, and Charlie Williams hear my voice...

Cardiac Kid, this is a constant theme with you and, quite frankly, doesn't make a bit of sense. If I give my money to an organization that bills itself as the "governing body of men's professional pool," I place my trust in this organization to delivery on its mission. To date, the UPA has...
