Really enthused about this Charlie! Since you asked for opinions, mine is that you'll have to agree to handicap the points, and not the money. It's the only way to keep everyone happy. If you don't handicap the points, within a month you'll be down to four players. Additionally, without as...

For anyone who is looking to bring a player in for an exhibition, I can't imagine why they would ever choose someone other than John. Personable, eloquent, and truly gifted. Talking with the crowd while running 160?? Insanity. For even the best players, this is almost unfathomable. Though I...

I'm looking at this quickly from work, so might have missed something. In all honesty (and I know you're kidding), it's probably the wrong shot, but not by much. If you can't guarantee a rail by playing safe into the 10-3 combination and freezing on the pack (looks close), you really don't...

I'm in for $50. Charlie, have you decided how the prize structure is going to work? It is very likely the amateur side of things will have many more entries than the pro; does this mean the amateurs will be eligible to win more prize money? This could get a bit tricky :). Thanks, as always...

Happy birthday to a great guy. We really appreciate all you do for the game. Have a great day today, gent. - Steve

It's disrespectful because it's saying that you don't think your opponent can run out, even with a wide-open table. I fail to understand how you don't think it's disrespectful when you're saying "well of course you would never shoot it against a GOOD opponent, but why not shoot it against a BAD...

I'm praying it's not sanctioned. What exactly did sanctioning do for us this year? How dare they take 5% out of my prize money... So what that it was only $35... I could've thrown that money in the street and gotten better value for it. The WPA has always been about Europe (and maybe Asia...

Johnny would never disrespect an opponent by playing such a silly opening shot. Johnny is a class act all the way. Both of Johnny's 100-and-outs were done the legitimate way, after the opening safety.

Jasmine lost to Huiji See earlier. She is up next in the 8:30 round I think.

Niels' wife is about to give birth. Not sure about Thomas.

Hey, I wrote that even before the tournament began! Cut a boy some slack! ;) And you weren't even the original player in the bracket hahaha! - Steve

Here are the brackets for tomorrow's play. - Steve

Also want to give props to our own Chris Lynch, who beat Nick Vandenberg convincingly with a 57-and-out. How strong is that? - Steve

Barouty won his group. Landon had a tough couple of final matches and didn't make it. It was Danny, Karabotsos and See from that group. My group was me, Vandenberg, and Wen. Wen won a nailbiter against Chamberlain to keep me in. More on that later. Ortmann, Eberle, and Daniel Smith got...

Jon Smith beat Mika, about 100-86. Smith is 3-0 and is looking good to get through his insanely difficult bracket. Sigel beat Mika on the TV table, running 102 I think, possibly fouling during the run and not calling himself on it. I didn't see it. Dave Daya ran 93ish against Thorsten on his...

...is silly. Mika, Jim Gottier, Jon Smith, Zion Zvi, and Mike Sigel. One other person, can't remember. There has definitely never been a group that strong in the history of the Predator event. Wow.

Why on earth is John Schmidt not playing this event?? And Mike Davis?

Thanks to all who have responded so far. Got about 48 hours left in case anyone else wants to join in last minute... - Steve

Hey all, I had an idea and, after getting Charlie's permission, would like to present it here. It would be a nice thing if we could have a charity-type sponsorship of Charlie as he looks to take down the world next week. Since he has become a major voice in this forum and indeed in all of...

Charlie, congrats on the invite... and good idea on the patch! - Steve
