    Why did they buy a plastic trophy for the winner?

    I can't believe they bought one of those plastic trophies that they give out at APA tournaments. This is such a great tournament, where the IPT has spent lots of money on all the trimmings.I think they should have gone one step further and bought a trophy that represents the professional tour...

    IPT abysmal television coverage.

    I watched the first 30 minutes of the King of the Hill coverage on OLN. If you like watching MTV you will love this production. If you enjoy watching professional 8 ball and you expect to see a match, which includes break and runs and safeties etc. You will not see it here. What you get is...

    What happens if an IPT player does not go to Orlando?

    I wondered what the penalty is if an IPT player who is not playing in the invitational does not show up to the event. I see from other posts that it is mandatory to attend the whole event. If Jimmy White, Quinten Hann, Johl Younger etc. do not make the trip are they kicked out of the tour. If...

    Tight pockets at US Open and UPA events

    After watching the World Pool Championships, I hope that in the US they start having tight pockets at all events. The same dimensions as at the WPC. The US Open, the World Summit of Pool at Grand Central station, Derby City etc. Some events that take place in a pool room may have problems, but...

At the BCA nationals he won the Grand Master division, which on the BCA website is not open to any Pro ranked in...

    Who was St. Louis Louie Roberts ?

    They give an award out at the Derby City Classic bearing his name. But I can't find much on the internet about him. He must have been quite a character to have the action/entertainment award named after him. Also I know he has passed away,but how did he die? I have seen conflicting reports on...

    Super Expo Open Amateur first prize still only $5,000?

    This event has around 800 to 1,000 entries at $75 a pop. That equals around $75,000 in the prize fund(that is without any money added.) How is it possible that the first prize is only $5,000.That is less than 10%. It should be at least $15,000. Let's say the organizers take out one third of the...
