    Need ideas/donations for my awesome charity

    Whoa there. Just could be there are a lot more individuals affected by this than you seem to assume and no, simply providing a free service to anyone as a small business isn't automatically any kind of write off, and this wouldn't be, absent the IRS allowing tax deductibility for a nonprofit...

    Need ideas/donations for my awesome charity

    Looks like the idea has been around the area for awhile, not that there can't be more doing it, great cause but . . . competition? It's survived or maybe in a new form - what's been its secret, if it has one...

    Need ideas/donations for my awesome charity

    Do you have a venue/format/dates/local sponsors? If you want businesses you aren't already "networked" with contributing money you need to be making appointments and pitching your cause/event in person and helping them understand what they get out of it and hopefully setting up something other...

    Jerry Briesath and Mark Wilson

    I've had Byrne's original "Standard" book since it was published in the late 70s and I was a student at the U of I, and don't read much pool (although I did pick up Dr. Dave's book a few years ago). Both are excellent, of course. I decided to treat myself to Jerry's dvd set (via his flash...

    If he gets Shanghai’d I doubt Diamond will mind.

    So many tips to choose from.

    Sounds good, but not like he's giving you a haircut or waiting your table. Different notions, I guess. I quote someone a price for work, someone quotes me a price for work, custom or otherwise, that's the price --- I'm sure someone would be polite if a tip was offered (and likely decline)...

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    Apparently he posted this on Facebook: "Give me an opportunity to be Captain of Team USA  I will have a mini Mosconi Cup with the five guys that made the team against five guys that didn’t make the team to help them prepare. I will find sponsors to put up 5-10k so they are playing for...

    It's Been Two Months Now

    It's due January - March as you've said repeatedly in the various trolling your order threads. Guess I'm gigged like a greedy frog like anyone else who responds, but really, what's the point of all this? It's not even late until April 1.

    Mosconi cup SOLUTION

    LOL, you are confusing some of the fans with the players. American players participate for a lot of reasons (obvious one being it's U.S. vs. Europe in a long-established event so they show up) but arrogance isn't one of them - doesn't even make sense.

    Quit trolling seems like the obvious recommendation.

    Really good intentions, really bad history, but stuff happens. The thought is a good one.

    It's not all profit - so you do even 5 tips a week, every week, which seems like a lot, revenue is a whopping $175. Seems like it may be a profitable but not significant in terms of revenue, let along income, part of some overall business related to pool?

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    Matchroom sets the rules, doesn't it? And the same for both teams? So many of these hypotheticals and "what ifs" don't really address the reality which I assume is Matchroom isn't going to allow some different set of rules for the U.S. vs. the rules for Europe, and to some extent "merit" in the...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    I don't recall most younger players spending a lot of money on cues back in whatever good old days you are referring to but "under 40" cuts a pretty wide swath. What was the demographic for what you believe are higher end cues now vs. say, 15 years ago, 25 years ago, 30 years ago? Maybe that...

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    But . . . it's not like the Miracle on Ice and it was what it was at the time but a one off. Just picking some young players and thinking some intensive coaching is going to allow them to beat the guys we just watched the last few days? Skeptical. I don't have any idea who would be funding but...
