    US Open Miscue The Game

    Pool players love comparing this game to golf. “We’re just like golf. It’s just like golf,” practically like parrots. Well, guess what professional golfers have access to before and after every round? Practice green and driving range. And guess what practically all of them do before every round?

    WORLD 10 BALL CHAMPIONSHIP (6-10 Sep 2021), Las Vegas, 9ft, Winner $35K

    It’s almost like building a city in a desert where it’s 110 degrees every day was a bad idea.

    No Matchroom restrictions on International 9-Ball Open

    You shouldn't need a 14-page contract for a pool tournament, even if it is the U.S. Open. It's a 9-ball, not a mortgage.

    Conditions to participate in the upcoming U.S. Open

    American football also moves faster. Running, hitting, passing, scrambling, blitzing. One pocket is like watching two earthworms cross a patio.

    It’s to my understanding that CSI has relinquished those back to Mark.

    Arizona Open (CSI Predator US Pro Billiard Series) 28-31 July, (10 Ball/9 ft table) Winner $13K

    I’m guessing the commercial break music is a production cost issue.

    What the F is going on here?

    Tell a golf fan that golf is boring and they’ll start listing all the reasons it isn’t and pull up YouTube videos of big shots and crowds going nuts. Tell a pool fan that pool is boring and they’ll agree with you and tell you how they fall asleep watching. God, we’re a strange bunch.

    What the F is going on here?

    I always said it was penny wise and pound foolish to sneer when ESPN demanded pool pay for its air time while selling the ad space to break even. Thats exactly how cornhole got on TV.

    2020 Home Pool Table Sales

    Considering how many billiards companies are privately held and don’t report quarterly or annual sales, I don’t know if there’s an accurate way to compile this.

    US Open (9-ball) 2021 Atlantic City Sept. 13-18

    I'm probably the wrong person to be blathering on this (among other things) but I don't get the allure. At least in the 70s and 80s when it was still predominantly controlled by "Friends of Ours" they knew how to draw in customers -- cheap rooms, low priced buffets, $4.99 steak dinners, gamble...

    US Open (9-ball) 2021 Atlantic City Sept. 13-18

    It’s obvious Harrahs was interested in getting the US Open after seeing the success of the 2018 Tornado Open…………………..

    US Open (9-ball) 2021 Atlantic City Sept. 13-18

    I get the west coasters as well. AC just isn’t an attractive draw for that. I will say this: Harrahs is in the marina section, which is considered the nicer, more upscale section of the city. It’s also where the Borgata is which I’d put up against most Vegas casinos and resorts. so if you’re...

    US Open (9-ball) 2021 Atlantic City Sept. 13-18

    Never said Atlantic City was a bargain, but there’s also no benefit for east coasters to fly three time zones away and get robbed by casinos when we have many establishments here that are happy to do it without the cost of a plane ticket. And for people who work/volunteer/staff these events all...

    US Open (9-ball) 2021 Atlantic City Sept. 13-18

    I mean, if you really want an $8 cup of coffee and a $30 burger and fries I’m sure it can be found in Atlantic City. I was fine with Vegas 20 years ago when rooms and meals could be had for cheap, but now that the prices on both have become insane there’s zero benefit beyond the “prestige” of...

    WORLD POOL CHAMPIONSHIP (6-10 June2021) Champion $50K

    This is an interesting quote. Emily Frazer, Managing Director of Matchroom Multi Sport, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Caesar’s Entertainment and the Atlantic City Sports Commission, who really want to make Atlantic City the home of pool, which is fantastic news.”
