We do not write our own articles, we post what is sent to us. This is usually around 1200 articles a year (across all the pool sites we have - aobut 90). If someone wants to write an article, I'll ensure it gets published and then picked up elsewhere..

the European players that have backers covering expenses will probably attend. As will players with plenty of their own dish already (like Carl Morris). Others will attend because they are still living the dream. UK based players are absolutely falling for this s**t as they are not used to the...

Little of any consequence will be announced today, except an announcement about when the next announcement will be. Stringing it out ensures that the maximum amount of qualifier money is gathered..

No chance - this will be strung out as long as possible - to maximise the chances of getting $2,000's in..

This is indeed Rob McKenna. He's got a lot of egg on his face here in the UK where he has rather embaressed himself over the whole thing with some of the things he has said. A great player mind (at English pool at any rate) but not a lot of tallent at diplomacy. Not as bad as some uk players on...

There is room for fun pool, in fact, the biggest event to be held at English pool ever was a fun tournament won by an unknown. We had a £50,000 to the winner one frame tournament in the UK this year. 15,000 entered it and the last 32 was televised for Sky. I got beat two frames off the tele...

Which is probably one of the reasons he kept clear in the first place..

It is common knowledge here that 888.com have sponsored everything that moves for about 18 months (mindful of the US market disappearing). We know from our principal gambling partners, Titan Poker (alos Israeli) that 888.com spent around $15m on advertising in the UK last year - for little...

As I said on another thread, why would a corporation that trasacts $15bn deals be interested in a pool tour worth $0? It's a bit like saying you sold "millions" of videos, which if you did, your company would not be for sale in the first place.

That articel references business's in the billions. How can anyone suggest that such a corporation would be remotely interested in a tinpot pool tour worth $0 - and say it with a straight face?

Where can I find details of this Tuesday announcement?

Announcement on Tuesday?

Surely we shoud be warning people not to enter these flyers?

If 200 players are due money and you are intending to not pay one or more players because you can't afford it, you might as well pay none - the damage to your reputation is oign to be no greater or less if you pay some but not others. Efren will not get paid unless the full wack gets paid out.

It was doomed from the off. The business model was completely warped.

Hear hear. Pool is pool - don't pretend otherwise..

If 8-6 is getting crushed, whats 8-1?

Excellent idea. You could also give the players the opportunity to choose a joker sport where they get double ranking points - could make for very interesting tactical decisions!

No he didnt. He paid out prizxe money based on advertising and qualifier revenue received. Wasnt there a large delay before the winner of that event got paid? I wonder why... Also, don't forget there are quite a few European and Asian players that have not been paid for the second event yet...

He made decisions that related to things other than lining his own pocket?
