The guys planning the World Classic have been working closely with InsidePool Magazine to plan some promotions of this event. This week at the BCAPL Nationals Samm Diep got a chance to interview some of the main planners of this event. Check out this link for more info. They are the first 2...

After being able to sit down the organizers of this event I am MUCH more encouraged about the potential success of it. Now that I know who they are and what they do I am very confident that they have the resources (financial and otherwise), experience and connections to pull this off. They also...

I'm fairly sure this is legit. Most of the people that received this email are ones that are involved in running tours or major companies in the billiard industry from what I have heard. Trigger asked me for suggestions and we submitted the Behnke's and The Shuffets. Shane's family doesn't...

This may very well change after the next WPBA event but Jeanette is currently ranked 3rd on the WPBA. She may not be dominating events like she used to before Allison's reign but she is certainly still performing well. I went to several of the National APA events when I was playing in APA...

Me too, Shane and I will be there this weekend. Gotta get ready for Vegas next week :)

That's not necessarily true, I don't see Shane's name on this list but I know he has been confirmed to play for quite some time. I'm really not sure how updated this player list is.

I actually just got a message from one of the organizers as well. I had contacted him to arrange an interview with them for the InsidePool Magazine video podcast interviews while we are in Vegas. I haven't called him back yet but will post more details once I do. And I did see a full page...

I believe Shane and I will be there--nothing 100% yet though. I have to be in Houston on Friday for work and Shane is still finalizing this schedule for the next few weeks but he's probably coming to Texas this week until Vegas. So hopefully we will see everyone there! I might have to drop by...

Yes, the advertised price of booths at the Super Billiards Expo in Valley Forge is also $1000 per space and I am sure they have 75 vendors. IF, and right now that is a big IF, they can answer all these questions/doubts from the players and they can draw a big enough field of players, 75...

Yes, there IS a contract in place with Moody Gardens for this event so SOME form of this event WILL happen. BUt I think the point of all of our feedback is that at this point in the planning process, most of these details SHOULD be worked out. Everyone who is asking us to have faith in them and...

You guys are so bad! Turns out Kim can't go but I'll be there to play in both divisions.

I want to clarify to everyone saying that we are "bashing" the promoters of this event. That is not at all what I meant by anything I have said. In fact, I am very hopeful that this event does happen and is successful. Something like this would be great for pool and for Galveston. Honestly...

Do you usually have enough for a Ladies event? Kim Pierce and I will probably go up there.

I honestly doubt that the City of Galveston is putting up any of the added money. Typically hotels will comp space rental fees IF you meet a specified room block (your event must fill a specific number of hotel reservations) and food and beverage minimums but it is VERY rare that hotels or...

From what I have been told (and this is from a guy that is one of the tournament directors for this event although it could be wrong), the guy running this already has an account set up with several hundred thousand for the tournament waiting in it. That being said, they payouts ARE based on...

Jos is awesome. I met him and friends when they came out to Austin a few weeks ago and got a chance to shoot with them. I was very impressed with his game. Jay, I was trying to find you guys Saturday night in San Diego because Joe had invited me out to his show at House of Blues and I thought...

I agree...unfortunately it seems to be a huge issue in a lot of matches.

Seriously? The main skill it takes to make the 10 in the bottom 2 pockets is knowing how to give yourself a rack that is loose in the back (and most would say is cheating), the 10-ball flies out down there pretty easily. It takes a lot more skill to get a solid enough break to get the 10-ball...

He's not known for a good 10-ball break. In fact, during the Diamond Open 10-Ball event in Valley Forge, Rodney was talking with Shane about his troubles with making a ball on the break in that format. So Shane gave him some pointers and Rodney went to the tournament room about 2-3 hours before...

I think the weight comes more into play with the possible called combos and caroms early in the rack, not with the guys not getting out at the end of the rack. I think I like Chris in this match. Rodney doesn't have a strong 10-ball break and Chris has proven time and time again that he grind...
