lol. I know my hopes are up but they have to be. Wouldn't it be great if it came to be? A concept like the IPA requires good word-of-mouth and support from those who would benefit the most from inside the pool world. Being immediately after the site announcement, this positive momentum is...

Thank you for your questions CreeDo and also for your time in reading my response to them. In 2002 I began working toward holding a big pool tournament in Canada that was going to be called the Canadian Open. I worked many, many hours procurring documents and communicating with different...

Personally I don't believe a tour should be funded solely by qualifiers... but to get it off the ground, it's not a bad idea. I can imagine three full 32 player qualifying tournys per year within the Maritime provinces in Canada, one per province, a combined population of about 2 million...
