I would have happily been there if they had matches on the weekend but like most people I work during the week. During the Cup I was working 10 hour days finishing up a Solar field, 14 hours a day if you count getting up at 4am and getting home at 6pm. BTW I was offered a free ticket but could...

The event itself was awesome, no issues there. If you want anything to grow it takes branding and marketing. Professional Pool has shown time and time again that they are the worst branding/marketing organization in human history.

I said ZERO local promotion. I love pool and want it to get wildly popular again like it did right after the Color of Money came out in the movie theaters. I'm happy they had a big party and promotional events in St. Louis butt they need to have promotional events all over the country it's...

Are you kidding? Pool rooms closing all over the country. I live in Vegas and never heard a word about either team doing any promotional events, signing autographs etc......... Bonus Ball was the same way, ZERO local promoting

I think we all can agree that Pool's popularity has been on the decline for a number of years now, that being said with an event such as the Mosconi Cup right here in Vegas not once did either team think to arrange any kind of meet and greet sessions at any of the local pool rooms to promote...

Very True :thumbup2:

DING DING DING We have a winning folks

+1 for you Very well said. I love the fact that CSI is running Pro events :thumbup: You know it possible for CSI to walk and chew gum at the same time. CSI can have Pro events and NOT destroy the US Open "brand" at the same time, by simply making a clear distinction that these events are "Bar...

I love that CSI is having 10 Ball & 8 Ball tournament for the Pro Players. My only issue is there is NO NEED for CSI to destroy the Prestige of the US Open brand. To me this would be like buying a stream to the US Open Tennis matches and when you turn on your computer you are watching Nadal &...

The point being that for 40 years now the Prestige of the US Open name (in Pool) is synonymous (and should remain so) with Pro Pool and 9' tables . As another AZ member stated CSI is devaluing the Prestige of the US Open name as long as no clear distinction is made in reference to these...

Exactly my point, Very well said Sir :thumbup:

No one is saying 7 foot tables is not real pool....... All I am saying is there should be a clear distinction between the two when it come to Pro pool. If the distinction is made then you can use the US Open name in more ways ie: US Open 10-Ball Championships (9' tables) US Open 8-Ball...

I just left the RIO last night and the place looks great. It was awesome seeing some of the Pro matches however it seems like a lot of people are going to miss out on seeing the event live because it's being held before the BCALP "team" events get started. I guess that had to be done because...

Looks awesome, I just wonder how bright that will be when you glance upwards, blinding/glare? If it's hard on the eyes you might want to consider a parabolic diffuser. One question, where did you get the 2X4 LED lights?

Tony (BB cues) was selling his cues for $3K and up back in 1992 when he came out with his "Stradivarius" line of cues. http://www.blackboarcustomcues.com/build/default.asp?CTID=211&IID=2

The most over priced cue? That's easy, the cue ordered and paid for to a deadbeat cuemaker who never builds your cue.

It's like this, if you have to ask you can't afford it...LOL Sorry could not resist.

JAM your horse is getting really HIGH......... I have known Barry over 30 years, I grew up in Va. Beach/Q-Masters and lets get one thing straight here this tournament still exists because Barry has an ego the size of all out doors. Don't get me wrong I have always liked Barry and I have always...

It's very beautiful but IMHOP John should have never sent that blank to Prince and Prince should have never let that out of his shop. The amount of time, money, your heart felt design by using your wedding ring deserves a flawless cue. I know I am coming of as harsh and trust me I don't want...

That's correct there is $16,000 missing from the prize fund. 128 players X $1,000 + $75,000 = $203,000
