Well, if you are a a player and you take 1st place 1 in 8 tries you are doing pretty good. Do that twice and you are doing great. Same with 2nd place. But simply look at the events out there and tell me if it is any different. It has always been mostly like this and will continue to be like...

The guy who comes in 64th has no shot of making ends meet regardless of it being a $10 entry fee or a $2,000 entry fee event. That is just the way the sport is. If I am in GA and I know a few months in advance that I am heading to Seattle, WA then I would either plan a road trip around smaller...

Those payouts are based on 64 players not 96. Also, if you are spending $,1500 on a weeks of expenses at a pool tournament you are seriously doing it wrong. I easily get by on 1/3rd that amount.

JCIN, I do no know what you are implying with this statement but Janis has never once screwed a player out of money or any sponsors or business associates. If you know something different please share any facts you have. Then there was that fact that Janis never wanted to hold any of the money...

John, nobody failed him. But yeah, the BCA did screw him and a few others that year. Everything mentioned above failed pool not him. That system was intended for the betterment of the sport in a whole not just him. Also, there were some that did try and and there were some supporters and...

Yes, there was a time when all this was true but there was also a time when Dinosaurs roamed the earth but just as the dinosaurs past on so did the time for pool to the average US consumer. + YOU CAN NOT MARKET A PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT EXIST! THERE IS NO PRO TOUR therefore there is NOTHING...

John, I know some of what you have done and I have known you for most of those 20 years you have been around. Re your statement of "I have put forth at least 20 ideas on this forum as to how a tour could work" means zilch towards actually doing something to make it work. Personally I have done...

After further thought I think the payouts should be changed to: $60,000 for 1st Place $25,000 for 2nd Place $18,00 for 3rd Place $10,000 for 4th Place $5,000 for 5/6 places $2,500 for 7/8 places With these payouts we can get some backers involved in putting up entry fees for the players.

Some people have no vision. But I can not fault you for that as you have never ran a tour. Most people do not understand that POOL in not like any other sport and there can absolutely be no comparison of pool to another sport in my mind. Regarding your statement of "Not even so-called...

In the beginning it might be possible and feasible that a promoter/director would step in to help without getting paid for it. I even know a guy who would do that in the beginning for a stake in the tour.

Disclaimer, this is just a fantasy thought and not reality. Not yet anyway. Introducing the new ABT Tour with over $1,000,000 in prize money each year. 8 Events - 64-96 Players per event - $2,000 entry fee per event. (Remember $2,000 entry fee per event is what the IPT Qualifiers charged and...

My opinion may not be important but I do have something to say. 1st, the ABP has no shot of being a real players union. For them to be successful in this format there would have to have been a successful, profitable tour for them to boycott. Boycotting independent events as a group gets them...

The next Richard Sweet Memorial event will be June 28th - July 1st, 2012.

They thank you very much ;-) And I am positive they love doing it as Richard was a great man in our sport and they enjoy every minute of the event as much as everyone else. Thank you to everyone that came out to support the events!!! We hope to see everyone back at Mr Cues for the next 2...

That is correct Matt. Our research shows that if we LS local events we lose 40-60% of our local spectators in the pool room as many of them will just go home and watch the event. Judging from the spectator turnout at this event tonight it looks like it was a great decision as the HOUSE IS...
