I met him through a mutual friend many years ago at the DCC and was very impressed by him. Super nice guy and a helluva pool player, very glad to hear that he is going to be ok.

This is basically the same thing I was thinking. So many pool rooms have closed over the last 20 years that it is truly saddening. It is very difficult for rooms to stay afloat, esp ones that cannot serve alcohol which is the bread and butter for the ones that can serve it. Events like this...

The DCC did that for 10 days at the Executive West and it was pool Heaven. The problem with the scenario is that the core group of pool players that go to these events are pigs. They smoke in no smoking area's putting ashes & cigarettes on the floors, table tops, wherever they damn well please...

Yes, one would think that people paying to see a tournament would be more familiar with pool etiquette but sadly that is not the case. Over the years in Valley Forge I witnessed way too many people that paid for VIP seating and was seen hobnobbing with the pros that not only did not put their...

I liked having the sounds of the expo coming through in the pro arena, it was like the loud fan I use at night for "white noise". The dark quiet room of years past in VF was nice but there was always someone who didn't turn their phone off and even those that proceeded to answer and commence...

This conversation is way off topic and thoughts on this could certainly hold a thread of its own but I'll say my peace on the bold part and end my contribution to delrailing the thread. I am of the opinion that ALL pro/amateur sports figures make entirely too much money. These people play a...

I don't understand why this even matters, it doesn't have anything to do with the issues people have with the venue. I saw Allen leaving the expo center around 2 am one night, completely exhausted. The hours he and all of the staff work during the event are grueling to say the least. As he was...

I have absolutely no problem with someone saying they didn't like something - to each their own. My issue with the OP was how he stated it. He thought it was terrible and he was actually gloating about how he called it! I found it to be immature to put it mildly. He had all the reasons he didn't...

Since the beloved Valley Forge venue is no longer an option, please advise where you think they should hold the event. You obviously have tremendous foresight and knew long ago that this years event would be terrible so please enlighten us with some more awesome foresight and tell us where it...

If last year was your only DCC then there is no way for you to have experienced the greatness that was once the DCC. When the tournament was held at the executive west it was fantastic. The old place had that "it factor" that can't be explained or duplicated. The end of the executive west was...

My name & address aren't listed on the website of the company that I work for. I think most people here can say that. I was under the impression that Corey was being courteous and giving you the phone number to the office that Ivan works at. If there is history between you two, then I'm not...

I can't answer your questions but I can offer a public service announcement. One of the things Kevin Trudeau was convicted of was credit card fraud and he has proven to be unreliable when it comes to sending people what he owes them. I wouldn't give him my credit card number or pay him for...

Congrats on getting your cue back. People have proven time and time again that they don't read the whole thread, some just read the first post. You might want to edit the original post to state that you have your cue back. One of the people that only reads the first post might actually accost...

Regardless of the mixture, Watson gets the cash. He has always been a great money player. Shawn doesn't have any gamble in him, he is a tournament player. There is nothing wrong with being a tournament player or a gambler but they are two different animals and for big cash, I don't think Shawn...

I like how they included some info about each sponsor in the write up, it's a nice touch.

According the post that I originally spoke of in this thread, Matchroom made a list of possible coaches and then presented that list to the players and allowed them to choose the coach. Matchroom gave the players choices outside of CW, the players chose CW to be on the team, not Matchroom.

I know that and I doubt anyone that knows that has any doubt that is why he was chosen by those 3 players. The only point I wanted to make was that if the info was correct, the players chose CW, not Matchroom. The original post in this thread called Matchroom out for choosing CW.

If what was mentioned in the other thread is true, Matchroom gave the 3 returning players from last year a short list of people to choose from. They chose CW, not Matchroom.

Funny thing about the ABP/APB/whatever it is, the majority of players in the group do not like CW. There is a small handful of people that actually like him and I would venture a guess that most of those very few would actually be on team Europe if they were playing in the cup. I can think of...

I'm glad they aren't doing that again this year. Most of the players never post on here but were all over the place begging for votes and people on here were arguing about who everyone should vote for. I didn't care for the atmosphere it created on here and I like the idea of each player earning...
