Vegas in December Immediately after the Mosconi Cup (Dec 6-9) at the Westgate is the US BAR TABLE CHAMPIONSHIPS (Dec 10-16) And after that is the US OPEN ONE POCKET at Griff's (in Las Vegas being held Dec 18-21. And we will be providing free rides on our 15 passenger shuttle during all the...

14.1 Hi Lou, The dates were decided because we immediately followed Darren Appleton's world Pool Series - which followed the SBE. 3 events in a row within a 2hour drive. And the straight pool had BY FAR the best hotel deal. Seems the 'pro players' have no interest in straight pool. It's a...

The event will honor the $10,000 added money. (that is adding $625 per player). The entry fee is $550 (including a $50 registration/green fee). Thanks for pointing out the error on the event information. The $600 number is incorrect. This is the 2nd event held at Pool Table Magic in Windsor...

One pocket I think you are right. They usually take $25 from each entry for admittance to the expo. So they made $800 from the one pocket in door fees. My error-sorry Markg

Pro brackets Jay- It seems the 10-ball is $15,000 added and the one pocket is $800 added. There are so many expenses in doing an event of this nature, that it's tough to fund added money. I'm not at the Expo, but I'm pretty sure the pros are free to watch. I'm suprized there is so little...

Thanks to everyone on the nice comments. Griff's is a nice room. And it will stay that way. Non smoking - good food and really fancy (and clean) bathrooms. I saw this thread a couple days ago but did not have time to respond. Its too bad people like GoldenFlash have to have such a bad...

Please be aware that the numbers between divisions are going to be different each year. They are a result of the number and quality of the players. Mark Griffin

I am hesitant to respond much on this issue. There are several suggestions being put out there - many of which sound good, but for various reasons aren't practical. Griff's is a 21 or over location. Therefor, no junior events. A few asked about moving our tables or bringing in bleachers. The...

Magic ball rack The magic ball rack works well under most situations. If you're in a bar with off-sized balls, and a dirty table. No template is going to solve your problem Mark Griffin

US Open 8 & 10 ball on 9' tables I want to tell everyone that CSI and me (Mark Griffin) appreciate the positive comments. We are actually adding $40,000 between the 4 events. Hopefully the players and fans will show their suppport. Mark Griffin

tennis format I've had a tennis type format in my mind for a dozen years. I think it would bring out a lot for pool. Would it make the game more exciting?? - I don't know..... Mark Griffin

2x4 light From looking, it seems the light is much brighter in the center of the table. Not surprising/ the table is 50 x 100- the light surface is 24 x 48. Needs 2 fixtures, or to be raised. I also would be concerned about the glare from the dude view. But only in s commercisl room. The glare...

Andy Grubb memorial Andy was one of the nicest guys I ever met. He used to contract work for the military in Alaska around the early 1990's. He was partners in Starcade billiards. He died from an aneurism ( or similar) when relatively young (50 ish). This a nice room, very well run event...

Sigel vs schmidt This took place at the 2000 us open straight pool championship held at rosemont ballroom. I was there. That is where I met up with Freddie Agnir, Lou f. Jumbo. Gideon and someone I'm forgetting. The tables where real soft, big pockets and new balls and cloth. The first roun I...

Mosconi cup BRussell, I totally agree the US needs better structure in it pool programs. But that's outside the scope of a MC coach. CSI is primarily an amateur association. We do have lots of discussions on how to do mor 9' events. Now that I have a room in Vegas (www.griffslv.com) we can...

Mosconi cup We all know bonding takes awhile. And knowing the teammates in advance would be nice BUT the selection process is what it is. Just like the suggestions of playing 10-ball and longer races-----that is not an option. So we gotta do the best we can do. Our players have the skills to...
