So far, about one third of us will play in a pool room soon, some with extra precautions.
Those who will play don't seem to have a table at home.
I don't know how most pool halls are going to survive this. I can't imagine there's going to be much league play for at least a couple of months.
I agree, bigger rooms dependent of big numbers of folks coming through, with big tabs are going to get hurt.
Old school rooms with low overhead have done well in down economy will high unemployment. I'd say 60 percent if my regulars are retired. My lifelong players would crawl over broken glass to play, they will all be back.
If it gets bad and the general public doesn't get back to playing,) I'm moving to a members only club. I have 8 of my 9 footers in the back half if the room , I can add a 9th or the billiards table to that space. I can keep the kitchen,storage room and 2 bathrooms. Charge 80 bucks a month, play all you like 24 hours a day. Surrender the front of the room to the landlord. Wouldn't even staff it, just keep it going and survive.
