Does anybody know of a decent sized building for lease in Knoxville at a good rate? Might be nice to have a Lucky Break in Knoxville :D

This will be March 17th! Check our post also for our March 31st tournaments: Will have a Women's Tournament and also an OPEN Handicapped event where anyone can play!!! :smile:

Bumpity Bump!!!

Post #223, from Paul: "When I started this thread, I was expecting good info from experienced room owners. I got very little of that. Instead I flushed up a bunch anti-smoking zealots and libertarian fanatics who think they know all about the poolroom business. They got it all figured out...

Great post! I have a website and a Facebook page for our room. When people are doing searches, they look online and find our website. Once they get to know us and the room, I keep them updated on tournaments and events via Facebook. I think it is a great, great tool for our business :cool:

February 18th...Coming up fast!!

Woody Woodworth will be coming to do cuework!

Everyone wants entertainment....A place to go to enjoy hanging out with other people and/or to do the activities that we love. We usually only have a very limited number of choices depending on the businesses available in our area. Since this is a pool forum, I assume most of the people here...

Thanks! If he were going, I'd probably play anyways, but I still don't like the format :p

Well, my boyfriend and I both went previously, but looks like neither one of us is going this year. He usually plays in the pro event, and we DO NOT like the ref for that. And I haven't seen a women's event advertised, but I did not like the single elimination format that they had before. You...

Yes, it was a bit scary to start with. We weren't really sure how going nonsmoking would affect us. We had a few of our heavy chain smokers complain about it when they found out, so we were nervous, but they all still come in! One guy that came in the old building quite regularly with his wife...

I'm sure that Matchroom absolutely knows what is going on in the world of pool and they know all the best players and the same for this Luke Riches guy. Of course they should pick the best members for the teams. While we are at it, let's have the brightest minds in football pick the 2 teams for...

We moved buildings about 5 months ago, and we decided to change to nonsmoking (although we do have a small smoking room in the back). We only moved 4 doors down from our old building, and compared to the same periods of time last year BUSINESS HAS BEEN MUCH BETTER in the NONSMOKING!!! It is...

Of course it's a made up event. All events are made up by someone at some point. I think earning a spot is what gives the event prestige. Once it gets to the point where it's a made up event and the people who make it up also get to pick the folks who play in it, well then all of it is just for...

Well, I didn't read any posts that say we think Matchroom pool is "out to get anyone". I know my posts didn't say that personally. I only asked about a rumor saying that the players would not be selected by points but by those guys, which (with the exception of the top 2) is true. I also gave my...

So, not really much different than a combination of the rumors and what I said earlier about Shane. It will end up being SVB, one other player that did outstanding at all events, and then the other 3 slots will be chosen by Matchroom Sports. I guess one slot to shoot for out of 5 is better than...

Bump it up!!!!!!

Well, exactly. He would definitely end up on the team whether it is done by points are not, but what about the rest of the team...? The Matchroom folks just pick their favorites I guess. It's their tournament, so they obviously can do what they want, but COME ON! At least there was so...

Absolutely agreed. Being part of the US Team on the Mosconi Cup seems like a prestigious honor to me, and I liked that the team "earned" their way there. I think once it is just picked by some committee, it does lose some of the prestige.

I must be blind, but I checked the qualifying events and still didn't see anything odd.
