    What is The GRAND Tour? [AMA]

    Thank you for your support. We too would like to expand, and the sooner the better, we agree. For now our focus is putting on GTP 1, our inaugural event. Our progress can be followed best on the website(link below.). I hope to make it back your way soon. I've been lucky enough to make it to...

    I agree, that is excessive. I don't know how much demand there could have been for such a system, although I'm not often surprised to find people will fall for such a thing. Our prize pools will be generated by selling the tickets to pool halls and leagues of all sizes. We are also selling to...

    Grand Tour Promotions is streaming from Jacksonville, FL

    Thank you for the tips. The one behind the counter is at Stix Billiards in Jacksonville, FL. It's the first pool hall I ever entered. I'm more at home there than anywhere, and will always consider it my second home. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    What is The GRAND Tour? [AMA]

    Central Florida is on our short list to expand to. We're well connected in that community as well and look forward to seeing you soon. I went to school at UCF, and spent much time playing pool there, probably more than I should have. For now Jacksonville is our home and we want to prove...

    What is The GRAND Tour? [AMA]

    Right now we're solely focused on bringing the players a quality tournament, i.e. GTP 1. Think of it like a dessert at the end of the month to give players something to look forward to. It's not going to replace the meal, that is their current participation in pool. It will just be a short...

    What is The GRAND Tour? [AMA]

    Absolutely not. I expect plenty of good players to try and earn tickets. What I won't expect is for pool halls to give their tickets away for free. They will be awarding them to players who are good customers. The same with league operators and their players. I won't expect POOL300 to give...

    What is The GRAND Tour? [AMA]

    We are currently just focused on getting GTP off to a great start with GTP 1, which will more than likely just include the North Florida region. We will likely expand to Daytona Beach and Orlando next, with the rest of Florida to soon follow. As we move forward we want nothing less than to...

    What is The GRAND Tour? [AMA]

    Well first understand that players will earn their tickets from venues, league operators, weekly tournament directors, tour operators, cue repair services, etc. Those entities seeking to appreciate their customers in a new and exciting way will purchase them at a price that depends on the...

    Changing pool starts by giving weaker players a chance at some $$$.

    Two and out consolations are exactly the kind of ways we are going to encourage weekly tournament directors to reward their tickets. The idea is one of the first that made our list. I'm not surprised someone here understands the concept we've developed, and I hope more of this will come as we...

    Changing pool starts by giving weaker players a chance at some $$$.

    Remember there is no buyin and not all players play in the tournament; only those players whose ticket gets drawn will play in each event. The venues, leagues, weekly tournament directors, and cue/table service businesses purchase the tickets and then reward them to players as a form of...

    What is The GRAND Tour? [AMA]

    The players in Jacksonville that we've spoken to are excited about the prospect of this happening. I know most of the regulars, both skilled and less skilled, and they are our motivation. Jacksonville and pool have a long history and we hope The GRAND Tour will hope showcase it well. The...

    Changing pool starts by giving weaker players a chance at some $$$.

    GTP's mission is to give that new player something to be proud of sooner rather than later. It's new players that will be necessary for pool to survive, and with all of the competing interests it will take something that generates a great deal of buzz outside of the pool halls and bars to keep...
