Does anyone know the results of this year's event? It's seemingly becoming more difficult to find results of certain tournaments in Canada. I don't get it....

It's incredibly sad to hear about the passing of Barry Larone. An accomplished player that won the Canadian Seniors & Snow Tournament, he also worked very hard at building and promoting the game of snooker in the country. You'll be missed and remembered Barry!

Congratulations Roy, to you and all the folks at the Cambridge ProAm Snooker Tournament for another successful annual event. The talent pool is always so strong and I definitely have it on my bucket list to get there in person for a week to watch the best players in our country. Congrats to...

I saw Shane Van Boening (whom most believe is the best breaker in the world) speaking on an older TAR pre match chat that his practice table is full of spots in a circular pattern on the middle of his table from his white dancing after the break. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the heat...

All cloths will show the dots, especially if you're jumping and masseing your white all the time. I suggest you get a break pad when you get your table reclothed. The Table Mechanic you use can cut you out several small circular pads from the excess bed cloth after he installs the bed. It...

Probably curb-side delivery which means they drop the crate at the front of your driveway. I've assembled several direct buy tables and delivery is never included. Also, rails are not covered and you should have a billiard mechanic do the work for you, especially the levelling and cloth work!. I...

Hi Roy, Looks like this years event has been another resounding success and all the credit to you and your team! Your event annually has the been the showcase event in Canada and for all other snooker fans in the country I just wanted to thank you and your group for your efforts in keeping the...

Good read Phil! IMHO, I think the lack of grass roots development along with poor organization nationwide has caused us to be in this current state. I know all the powers that be and I want to say a lot more but won't go there at this time. Why the CBSA is not giving more support to Patrick...

A little over the top for me! We all appreciate your efforts and hope others will follow your lead. Subsidizing junior entry fees is a great idea! It all starts at the grassroots level.

There have been lots of men and women that have donated mass amounts of time trying to promote cue sports in Canada and the majority are oblivious. It's an absolute thankless job and am I sure it has deterred many people. I read some of this anti-CBSA sentiment posted in this forum and it makes...

Mike played well and I enjoyed the match. Good memory "Celtic", very impressive!

The man was all class and a great contributor to the game.

I can appreciate where you are coming from Phil as I as well have the same passion and hope for the game. It is true that BC has not been sending many players the past few years…Brady is there this year and that is great for the game, hopefully by Brady going this year it will create interest...

Hi Phil, Why dont you contact Mike Jaffe or Michael Ma in BC and get involved with their association. Send me a message and I can forward you some contact information. Brad Grierson

Ashton is capable of winning the womens 9. This should be a great open Snooker event....I am thinking this with no disrepect to any player I didnt mention. Tier one of favourites: Finstad, Stevens, Ziegler, White, Loyer Tier two of favourites:Pagulayan, Martel, Williams, McCarthy, Snache...

Excellent points Shane, I have contacted SML to try and get the players involved with the CBSA and for some reason they view it as competition rather than a partnership. I do not understand that view.

I have heard that Mr. Thorburn and a couple of his business partners are trying to organize a seniors event in Vancouver to follow up on the very succesfull seniors event that was just held in England. That would be fantastic if it comes through. Davis, White, Doherty, Bond, Ebdon, Parrott...

I am aware of what I wrote. I apologize for that...Their were a few players that made my objective a miserable experience and I regret and apologize that I made such a stupid remark as a backlash. I would love to run events in all disciplines for Alberta players on a non-profit basis including...

I would love to see the growth of all cue sports in Alberta and Canada. I disagree with the notion that I show a lack of respect for the players as it is quite the opposite. As for Snooker, nobody in the west in the past few years has made an attempt to do anything for the players so I took the...
