Great post Justin. I will miss you Nasty. I want to share a short story about the first time that I met Chad. I was setting up the table for the TAR match between Danny Harriman and John Schmidt at the Qlympics in Louisville. We had just gotten the table flipped over and in place, when...

Watched Irving Crane in several straight pool tournaments in Detroit in the early 1970's. He was a very quiet man and still a terrific player. I was around 20 years old and these tournaments were my first exposure to professional pool players. I watched many of Mr. Crane's matches and he played...

Table rental is just like the DCC, $5.00 per half hour. The tables are all coin operated and on free play during tournament hours. When the tournament is finished up for the day then we lock all of the tables down. You purchase tokens from the machines that we have setup at the event. The table...

Practicing with a Break Rack would be frowned upon I am afraid. During tournament hours, the practice time is limited. After we finish the tournament for the day, all of the tables are available for rental (except when running the Mini Tournaments.) That time would be acceptable, as there is...

I assume when you said "open" you were referring to one of the pro events. Accustats selects the matches that will be filmed and/or streamed. They will pick matches from the tournament that will have some sales appeal (for future DVD sales.) So, do not take this the wrong way but they will...

We will have three video streams at the upcoming Southern Classic. Accustats will stream selected matches, on a designated table, from the pro tournaments as well as the finals of the Diamond 10 Foot Challenge. JR Calvert will stream matches on the new Diamond 10 foot Pro Ams (except the finals...

We did a calcutta at the Derby I think in 2000. It had a substantial amount of money in it, but it took a long time for the bidding because of the number of players. With the number of tables that we have to execute the tournament we cannot afford the delay to do a calcutta. It was a lot of fun...

FYI, I work for Diamond Billiard Products and I am one of the tournament directors for The Southern Classic. Earlier I posted a summary of the complete event. Each league participating will operate their own events. In that summary, we listed the contact information for the person that can give...

We have noticed that there is some confusion about what exact tables we will have at the upcoming Southern Classic in Tunica, MS. Here is a summary of what tables will be used in which events: Diamond 10 Foot Challenge (4) 10' Diamond Pro Ams 9 Ball Banks, One Pocket, 9 Ball (28) 9'...

As of today there are still rooms available at The Horseshoe Hotel. Go to www.dcctickets.com and get the 800 number. I am posting this because rumors are floating around the The Horseshoe Hotel is sold out. Alternate hotels (about 8 miles away) are Holiday Inn New Albany and the Hampton Inn...

It depends on what you want to do at the DCC. The first 4 days is the Bank Pool Tournament. Sunday through Wednesday is the One Pocket, Wednesday through Saturday is the 9 Ball. The action matches are constant throughout the event. There are also stand alone events: Straight Pool Challenge...

ESPN does NOT pay for any production costs to film pool tournaments. The WPBA pays a production company to film their events. They have that edited and it gets turned over to ESPN. At this point ESPN owns the rights to the film and they decide whether to air it or not and when and how often. It...

The price for the Smart Table has been $4,100.00 since August 1st. Before that the price was $4,000.00. This price is for tournament used equipment and it is the price as if we were selling 10 or more tables on a single order. That $4,000.00 price had not changed in more than 5 years. Rik...

There is a misunderstanding about the conversation with Diamond. We apologize for the confusion. It looks as though the price quoted was for a 7' Pro Am (not coin operated.) The Tournament Used Smart Table that we used at Lincoln City is $4,100 which includes the Simonis 860 cloth, a ball rack...

I do not visit AZ Billiards very often so I did not see this post. We shipped a used Gabriels table to Paul. When the table arrived Paul noticed that the Diamonds were in the wrong place. We had one spare set of rails for a 7' Gabriels. We sent that to Texas and it was also wrong. We then...
