So if you are not one of the people trying to drum up drama why did you take offense? As for the Swannee stream there was a lot going on there that no one needed to know about so guess what? They don't know. Also remember whose name was on that stream. It wasn't TAR and it wasn't mine.

Not really. At these big calcutta events its easy for it to cost thousands of dollars for a player to buy half or even a part of himself. If a guy puts himself in for $2000 and spends a dime on travel coming up with another $2K for the calcutta makes it a pretty brutal deal.

That sucks. It seems like Darren is owning it on facebook and taking responsibility. That doesnt help you with your calcutta though. Bad situation all the way around. I don't blame Sky's backers one bit for pushing for the forfeit or TD for doing it. Their guy was on time and ready to go. I...

You make way too much sense to post around here. You will probably get a warning or something. Why the hell anyone on a message board thinks they are entitled to private information between two businesses baffles the hell out of me. If the product changes and you don't like it don't watch...

I agree with the amateur thing. To me the question is how do you even begin to interest an amateur in pro pool without something to give them? Without the ability to say "These guys are the pros, these are the events only they are allowed to play in and here is the schedule where you can see...

I only see two ways pro pool in the US ever gets organized. The long shot is the IPT model where someone comes in with so much money or so much outside potential to grow the money (by outside potential I mean TV or a lot of eyeballs) that most people will jump on the train for fear of being left...

Did you miss the part about going from $25K added with decent streaming to $3k added in the dark? It used to BE a prestigious event that has been turned into a joke. All Daz is saying is that it sucks the event has gone downhill. I agree with him. EDIT: And yes I realize agreeing with the guy...

Whats awesome to me is at least one of the players on that list b!tched to me that the $5000+Hotel TAR was putting for two guys to play was not enough money. But jetting to Philly, paying a nickel entry to play slop 10 ball with no stream in a warehouse with $3k added makes sense. Pool is the...

I think it all depends. To me there is difference between a guy with one or two cues who is looking to sell or trade and the guy wheeling around a dealer case who does nothing but try to flip cues. On more than one occasion I have sold a cue in the aisles and spent that money with a dealer. I...

I have a legit shot on the balance beam but my floor routine is weak.

I'm of the same mindset with amateur events. If someone is willing to pay to fly to Vegas for a week to play pool let them wear what they want as long as its not offensive to others. In attempt to put this thread back on track since I helped drive it off the rails....I hear all kinds of things...

Just imagine what Ronnie O'Sullivan could do if he was allowed to wear a golf shirt and some Nike's. Might actually be able to play a little.

I'll tell em.

I know you have a dress code jihad but I do believe their is something to be said for pro events not looking like a pick up basketball game. If I could do some TAR events over I would have a dress code with parameters of "Dress somewhere between like you are going to court or the club" Pro...

There are always people working on things. The smart ones don't tell anyone. Right now we are in the midst of a reality show gold rush. I know of four shows either in development or production. The NYC based one will be the first to actually hit the air. I suspect it may be the only one to...

You have Cyclop balls because they put money into the game. You think Diamond just decided to abandon Arimath because of some relation to Brunswick? Cyclop gave them a better deal. Cyclop is an example of a new player coming into the industry and putting their money up to do it. This is a very...

It is a very rare doc that ever makes any money. The chances of a doc about women's pool doubling or tripling its production budget are about as good as me winning the U.S. Open. Of Gymnastics. Besides the cost to pay for accounting of chopping up any returns to thirty or forty people would...

Watching the video it seems an interesting idea. $40K for all the travel they are talking about doesn't leave much for anything else if they are using any kind of crew. If its one person with a video camera it doesn't bode well for production quality unless that person is more skilled than what...

Which one? They played at least five times I can think of. The very first match at the 2008 Derby that went hill-hill is available for $6 here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/svblion The race to 100 that Alex came back on him will be up in the next few weeks if all goes well.

When Vimeo first started the on demand service they had a one year time limit on streaming and downloading. That has gone away and there is no time limit on access to anything you buy now. Send me a copy of your PayPal receipt via PM or email (info at theactionreport dot com ) showing what you...
