Greg/DiamondGreg/Diamond thanks to all who participated in the 2023 Derby City Classic, whether as players, fans watching on the stream, or spectators in attendance. While I am delighted to have completed another Derby City Classic, I cannot ignore some of the negative feedback I’ve been...

I had a chance to speak with Ivan of simonis for the second time at the Mosoni cup about creating a slower cloth to be used on the 7 ft. Tables. This new cloth would be called 960. This has been in discussion for over a year and I'll have to see where it goes. I feel that with the smaller...

I was waiting on completing paperwork with Harrahs Tunica before making this announcement, but they move at such a slow pace I didn't want to cause any spectators or players any problems with future planning. The reasons are simple. The numbers just didn't work for the Casino or for Diamond. I...

Just signed the contract today. Couldn't believe how long it took, but at least I won't have to deal with another one for 3 years. Of course I didn't get everything I wanted, but I'm satisfied especially concidering the economy. One thing I'm especially happy about is I'm receiving added money...

Although I don't have the contract signed, I received a message today that we've reached an agreement with Harrah's for a 3 year deal at the Horseshoe in Southern Indiana. The dates for 2010 will be Jan. 22-30. We must have made quite an impression as the G.M. has stated that he plans on...

I have the ability and have had the ability to retrofit all the Valley, Dynamo, Global etc. tables for some time now...I could make them all use a regular cueball (non weighted) and since there are approximately 500,000 of these tables still in exsistence I could make alot of money...I could...
