US Open 10-Ball & 8-Ball Championships Return to 9-Foot Tables

Not to mention all the time spaced out between the start and end of the two 64 man events.
Great news on this. I hope a US Open is never held on the little tables again. Will try and make it up for these events but if not most certainly the one pocket when you have it scheduled. :smile:
I think there's clearly a place in our game for bar tables. I also don't mind pros playing on them from time to time. I think things went a bit, or make that -- way too far when U.S. Opens were being played on them. The people spoke and CSI listened. My hats off to CSI for making this correction.

Put 2-9 footers at the Rio and play the final 4 there for each event. Way more spectators and room.
Best Pool news of 2017 by far!
Now the US Pro's have something to work with in their quest of Mosconi Cup glory...
WELL DONE CSI :thumbup:

Now they just need a good rule set to make big table 8 ball harder. (see Appleton's WPS)
at least break outside the box

Thank you Mark Griffin and CSI for your unparalleled support of pocket billiards. I dont believe you as a person get the praise you deserve. I just want to say I appreciate all you have done for the amateur and professional players. I have always enjoyed your events and look forward to seeing the new pool hall.
This instantly makes me smell a much closer match at the MC this year. Maybe even some different players as well if the same MC points system is used>>>?

Way to go CSI !
This is good news CSI. About 20 years ago my wife and I made our one and only 5 day trip to Vegas. We had fun, except it snowed and the wind blew like a banshee!
I think I will start saving my pennies and try to meet my Michigan buddy in Vegas and go to "Griffs" for some pool.
I want another shot at you Mark as I still remember those "butt whuppins" you gave me when I was a innocent and ignorant "wantabe" pool shooter in Anchorage.
Congrats on all you at CSI and thanks for making pool better.
I hope to visit some day as I am not getting any younger!

Very interesting idea. I wonder how the numbers look?
Thank you black jesus!
THANK YOU BLACK JESUS! Or at least thank you Mark G. Nobody hates barbox more than me. Just made my first trip to Griff's and by far the nicest hall in the North America (Close second to Corner Bank in Toronto). Great equipment, decor and food. If they had a cappuccino machine i would have burned my passport and stayed forever.

That is fantastic. This is going to once again be a great event. Thank you so much guys!
Not every decision should made for commercial success. Sometimes we have to honor the game and 9 foot for pro players and we small group of fans are truly going to appreciate the competition so much more.
I will actually go and watch them again. Used to buy a VIP tag and watch them every year at the old Riv, but the 7 footers just didn't do it for me, not at all. Good to hear.
Great news, will you be chatting with the BEF about moving the Junior Nationals back to run alongside the USAPL and BCAPL events since you have all those tables available again?
The BCA trade show is really not the best mix for the juniors since they started to block off access for the kids to the show and vendors are complaining that there are kids around LOL, and since the hours have to be set by the trade show there is no practice or hanging out time for the kids. Everyone loved being there when it was held at the Rio.
