They let me in the booth for about to do commentary (Jay and Ken needed to eat dinner!)....and I gotta tell you, it was a world class set-up. It looked like a control room for a television event...complete with multiple cameras and Justin sitting behind a huge console and "directing"...

Hi Chris, I think you should blame that on promoters rather that ESPN. The WPBA is the only organization with a multi-year contract with ESPN (to my knowledge)...and there is nothing in the contract regarding the size of pockets. I have been in meetings with ESPN...and they don't mention...

We have discovered over the years that many venues end up using the initial event as a learning experience. The Sky Ute was extremely supportive of the WPBA this year, and I think they learned a lot of different ways to promote the event if they agree to host a second year. I heard that their...

Her statement does not indicate that there was a fee involved. I stand by that statement...the WPBA did not have anything to do with the streaming of the JL/VV match...and no fee was requested/paid. Melissa

I never pointed out any one person in my response. The two week advertising was because it was a test. It was determined that PPV wasn't going to be cost-effective. Instead we decided that a free stream was better suited to the WPBA's goals. TAR was terrific...and we have no issue with...

WPBA is NOT involved in this at all. Why oh why do people keep posting assumptions, rumors, and hearsay as fact? Instead of starting something about AZBTV possibly stealing it from under TAR but then the WPBA might've gotten involved and stopped TAR from doing it and also the WPBA prevented...

Hey Sunny. That wasn't directed at you..and I apologize if it came off that way. I just wish that people would deal in facts, not rumors, gossip, conjecture and assumptions. I do not know what plans JL and VV have or have not made with regards to streaming at this point. I only know that the...

Wow...all you have to do around here is say that you "heard" something...and people take it as gospel and jump on a bandwagon. The WPBA has not told anyone that these players cannot stream their challenge match. Melissa

Thanks everyone :D Very sweet of you to notice!!! And Tbeaux...I'm not quite that old yet. You better watch yourself or I will not sing to you during the next webstream that I commentate! (Oh wait...that's not really much of a threat. Darnit.) Have a great Wednesday everyone! Melissa

I golf regularly with several guys...and I outdrive 1/2 of them consistently. Technology is partially to thank for that. All of those guys are significantly stronger than I am...but I have a better driver. Golf and pool are the same in that you can smoke, drink and have a beer belly and still...

I don't have to flame you. Look in a dictionary. Pool falls under the definition of a sport because there are physical requirements to the game...hand/eye coordination needed to complete it. You can play chess with just your brain (and someone else moving the pieces as you instruct). The...

This kind of teaching mentality is a fairly common occurrence with the WPBA gals. I don't mean to say that we will stop after a WPBA match and give out pointers...but watch closely during pro-ams or challenge matches...and you will see this all the time. It is pretty easy to tell when we are...

Sweet. Iris Ranola just took advantage of the open spots and has entered the tournament!

Hi all, Unfortunately, we have had a couple players withdraw this week....so there are either 2 or 3 open spots now available. If anyone is interested, please contact Anne Craig at anne@wpba.com as soon as possible! We would like to fill this field back up!!!! So c'mon and grab a spot while...

LOL...now I get the reference! I was so confused for a second. I could figure out everyone else's Tbeaux nicknames..but not mine. I tend to think of myself now as more of a Bic lighter compared to a flamethrower. ;)

I'm a scorched marshmallow? :confused:

Only one spot left!!!! Anyone out there want it? Bueller? Bueller????

As of this morning...there are only 2 spots left :)

Well said sir. I may not agree with every point...but I like and respect your argument and your manner of delivering it. Melissa

Back to the top :)
