Can anyone cite a year, where a relative MID LEVEL amateur player, who didn't have an established track record of regional or national amateur success, actually won the Open Amateur Barbox expo event? Any year will do. I can only think of ONE amateur, who didn't have any established track...

Why does this matter? Did he post that making him wait was the reason? Or are you looking for drama?

The problem is... Most pool players, rate the speed of their fellow players, based on their own ability. It all goes down the toilet from there. So basically, it's the same thing as if some talented newbie came to the local tournament, and robbed the event. 1st, they all get mad that someone...

And that is your prerogative. So the expo is not for you. That's fine. And no amount of carpet is gonna put a stop to the aholes walking around. As a matter of fact, the aholes were walking around at EVERY SINGLE EXPO. Even the expos that had more carpet than others. Why make it about jacking...

I live 15 minutes away and go every year. Quit crying.

The answer is YES. You really don't get it do you. LOL This is 4 days. Pick one event and stick with it. What you are suggesting would never work. Even if YOU were the one running and scheduling the event. There is no way on earth you could do it in the given time frame. They barely get...

Get it right buddy. If you're gonna be extra nitty and cheap about it, DONT GO. How about you take the $100, take yourself out to dinner and stop crying.

Actually, the no nonsense approach is by far the best approach IMO. Otherwise, you would have people playing in both events, screwing over the players who chose to play in only one event, when the player playing in one event, shows up on time, and finds out their match was rescheduled so that...

Rack your own is stupid. I hate rack your own. I try my best to give my opponent the best rack I possibly can. I expect the same in return. Funny though how things work. When I watch rack your own tournaments, everyone throws up a rack, massages the 1 ball, and gives themselves a "perfect" rack...

Yeah. The guy going off that he was a top tier professional deserving of royal treatment, snuck in and stole an amateur event. Pure class. Lol

I haven't watched every video but I just checked out a couple just now after you mentioned it. His vantage point is from the other set of bleachers closer to the entrance. No idea if they were filled up or not but it sounded pretty full when they were cheering. Also, I can't imagine sitting...

Both Friday and Sat, the stands were pretty full when I went in. Sunday I was outside watching the 1pocket. I would assume that the stands were empty when Morra won simply because it was late on Sunday and everything was already being torn down. By the time the finals happened, the booths were...

Ahh Ok. Duly noted.

It's great that you take the time to keep stats like this. That being said. What the statistics don't reflect, is that some players, were deliberately safe breaking, and not trying to make a ball. Just saying.

The one pocket was announced this way. Same as last year. I have no idea about the other formats. But the women protested and got a redraw from what I understand.

Yeah. Ok. This ain't the derby 1pocket with race to 3 and buy backs and a 9ball event. This is double elimination 1pocket and 10ball till the single elimination kicks in. And it ain't a week and a half either where you can schedule the finals of the banks, so it overlaps deep into the one...

Another thing. Why is it that the 10ballers get a separate room, with noise rules, phone rules, and flash photography rules. And the 1pocketers get stuck next to action alley, with all sorts of drunk slobs and action idiots screaming their brains out? Are 1pocket players not as worthy as...

Unless you have a redraw, or you have a situation where the winners side guys are seeded, and their next matches are guaranteed to be against losers side guys so they don't play each other immediately, it's a pretty stupid format IMO. You will have a situation like what happened today, and...

Oh come on guys. If this was still held at Valley Forge and the prices for the players to play got jacked, I might understand more. But who knows or cares. Business is tricky. Costs change in business all the time. Same supplier might increase costs because they want to make more money off a...

Wow. Talk about complaining. TD was all over everyone tonight. Guys phone rang in the pro arena and he started to have a conversation, BOOM! TD was over there in 3 seconds to put the kibosh on it and politely tell the guy to have the conversation outside, and to turn off his ringer if he was...
