The Mezz West State Tour will be at Bull Shooters in Phoenix this weekend. Bull Shooters has 18, 9-ft tables available for this event (16 Gold Crowns, 2 Diamonds). Outside of CSI's Southwest Regional Championships, this will be the biggest and most prestigious pool tournament that Arizona has...

Let me answer that...Scott Frost. Roger

They'd have to get married?

I don't care if any production is clean, dirty, or otherwise, if it gets new people interested in the game, it can't be bad for the growth of the sport. Personally, I haven't got a shred of gamble in me, nor have I ever had any admiration for the lifestyle of the hustler. But, I will watch...

Credit for the success of the juniors league in Phoenix goes to Gina and Doug Nowlin, who are the APA operators for the entire Phoenix metro area. Gina and Doug are two very hard working people who have not only put a huge emphasis on their juniors division, but have built their other divisions...

And what have I said about Bonus Ball that has not proven to be exactly true? :p Roger

I don't understand how anyone can think that Bonus Ball does more harm than good. When the last Bonus Ball season started, Bull Shooters in Phoenix purchased the PPV and then aired the matches live on one of their TV's. I personally know people there who were not into pool, but were attracted...

Go Phoenix Fire!

I couldn't agree more. Roger Long

It sounds as though Dragon Promotions wants to become the sanctioning body for "world" tournaments. It would appear that they are attempting to take that distinction by force. But sounds and appearances only lead to speculation (which is what I am doing here). But speculation is not to be...

I'm not sure if I can agree with the idea that pool is struggling all that much. I mean, on the global scale, if we compare things to the way they were 20-25 years ago, we now have more leagues and more league players, as well as more pro and semi-pro tournaments and players. What pool in...

I feel that same way. Roger

I don't normally listen to ABR, but I tuned in last night at Oscar's invitation. I. too, was very impressed with Oscar's candor. Of particular interest to me, personally, was his explanation of how the split in San Francisco came about. I can now definitely see his position on that. However...

Boy, ain't that the truth! It's clearly evident that many people here still have that same old worn out attitude that says, "Yes, we know we're boring as hell, but we like ourselves that way, so don't try to change us. And by the way, where's my paycheck?" I think I'll keep living in my...

Yes, I read both your posts, Dick. But I wasn't trying to ignore you, I just didn't realize you expected a response. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but don't you think you're getting a little too sensitive in your old age? :wink: Just kidding. You're still my hero. Roger

Thank you, Oscar. That's reassuring, and I'll pass it on. Roger

That's too negative and self-centered for me. I refuse to believe that nothing can be done to make the game interesting for newcomers to watch. And I refuse to believe that our pro players couldn't be able to earn a minimum of 40-50K per year after expenses. Pool, Snooker, and Billiards are...

So what do we do? Give up? I've already talked to the owner of Bull Shooters about splits, and he has a BIG problem with them. And he's one of the guys who is helping to fuel the tour. Without the rooms, there would be no tour. Roger

This is spot on, Cleary. And it bolsters my point. At least, the point I've been trying to make, but obviously not doing very well at it. We don't currently have a product that we can sell to advertisers. If we want to be successful, we need to create one. Here's my personal interest: The...
