I don't want to be misleading - I do not work for the ABP or have any affiliation with their actions. We are promoting an event and have this event sanctioned with them in an attempt to help promote their cause and efforts. I cannot tell them how to conduct their business or make them visit the...

You are correct on that ;) I still believe the principle behind that is what the sport needs to create big payout events... Once a few events like that could happen per year, the ball would start rolling. Winning players would have lots of money in their pockets - and be able to afford future...

Thanks! I know I do not come to the forums all that often, but I will try and address and issues/questions here now as best I can... To begin, you are correct - he does not visit forums often. In fact, he is barely ever on a computer, although I have managed to teach him how to check email...

The Allen Hopkins Super Billiards expo is approaching fast! The dates this year are March 8-11, 2012. As many of you may have heard, we will be at a new venue this year: The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. This new place is right down the road from our previous home, and is twice the size...

Unfortunately we will not be having a Scotch Doubles event this year - although the TAP League may have that as part of their Rally in the Valley Series... I am really not sure at the moment, if you are a TAP Player, you will have to check with them... And the Wednesday Warm Up event is...

Hi Rich, yes, not having a hotel attached is definitely an inconvenience. Unfortunately, we had no choice but to move - as the old venue has closed and is being reconstructed into a casino. We feel that the new place is a great option though - it is right down the road, twice as big, and all...

Thanks Jeeves, I'll do my best to check in more often with the forums now to try and address peoples questions and concerns...

haha, no worries.. I know they bring in plenty, but $300 mil seemed like quite a bit :) I have long thought they have the perfect structure in place to create a well-funded pro tour, which would include a system for aspiring amateurs to work their way up to pro level... but that's a whole...

I must have read this wrong, what local market do you live in that brings in $300,000,000 a year? I think I need to move apparently... That even seems kinda high on national level. Not trying to be argumentative or anything, just curious... ;)

No, there will be no charge for parking, and there never has been. I hope there is a better variety of food as well, we do not ever have any control over the food options available at the venues. That seems to remain under the control of the venue. I do know they have a decent looking...

I will keep this in mind... although all we can really do is notify the local cab companies that we will be there and there may be a peak in demand.

Well, the entire exhibitor area can be shut down and locked up overnight. The facility has separate Halls, joined by large garage-bay type doors. These doors will be open all day to allow traffic to flow freely around the floor. At night, the doors will be shut and the entire exhibitor area...

Thanks! I wish I could be here more often :) I read up quite a bit, just don't post quite as often... Yes, this is unfortunate. However, people drive to and from work everyday, and the hotels are all within a very close radius. The facility has plans to build a hotel in the next year or two...

hi everyone... yes, the news is getting out, we are definitely moving the show to a much bigger and better facility - over 200,000 square feet, all on one floor! I realize there will be lots of questions and concerns, and I will do my best to address them here for you. I will start a thread...

Yes, the new place is less than 6 miles down the road.... You can see a map and more info at this link: http://www.superbilliardsexpo.com/location.html Also, to see some details about the venue itself, here is their website: http://phillyexpocenter.com/home/ So... hello everyone, I am here...

Just wanted to drop a line and thank all of you who made it out to our little show this year :) Thanks to all of you who are vendors, players, fans and spectators; without all of you this show could not be the massive, enjoyable event that it is! I just got back home to NC from my last 10 days...

Hi Oscar, just talked to you on facebook as well.... The event will be call shot. Sorry for my naivety, but I personally am not familiar with the nuances between the different "official" sets of rules... Waiting to hear back from my dad on what the "official" rules format is called.

Hi Lyn, I would like to, I've talked with my dad about it... hopefully we can come up with something... Things start happening so fast around now that some of our ideas don't come to fruition... Will keep you posted if we come up with something. Thanks again for your support!

I'm thinking of going :)

Just found out last night, very sad indeed. I didn't know him real well, but he was always very friendly whenever we did see each other... my condolences to his friends and family.
