U.S. Open update
- Thread starter jay helfert
- Start date
It's not Pat's job to assure that all the added money is there by the deadline. That's Barry's job. Pat's job is to collect the money and to give an accurate accounting of how much is there, to hold the money in escrow, and to make the payouts.

Thanks Jay for all you ,Roberta, Pat and Barry have done to help keep the US Open going.
I have been angry many times over the way things have gone , because I liked going to the Open .
With all the controversy I just stayed away and *****ed.
I truly hope this is the beginning of the greatest comeback ever and that all the major problems get solved to most peoples satisfaction.
I'm actually starting to get excited about it for the first time in many years , I think I will give it another try this year.

Nice post Will Prout.
Hello Itsfroze
Why do ypu keep reposting the same message to me about cornflakes. I am a Scotsman and my staple breakfast diet is PORRIDGE. This was what my ancestors carried around in their sporrans worn in front of their wedding tackle.
To mix it when water was not available they would use their own urine thus ensuring that they had a hot meal. So pissing in yer breakfast was a was no big deal.
Back on topic, Do you seriously believe that a big chunk of money that has been in the pipeline for over 4 months, will appear as if by magic in just over a month.
That is with no access to entry fees, this has to be new money and the $75k (For a Tier 2 event) or the $50k (For a Tier 3 event) all goes into the prize fund with no deductions. An affirmitive answer from you would confirm your citizenship of Cloud Cuckoo Land.
If this were to come through I would be delighted But I think that anyone with Mosconi Cup aspirations should be ensuring that they get points stacked up from the prevous e vents

is this MatchRoom's Plan B?
Jay no problem I'll pay my lawyer 500 dollars to write up the bet how does that sound. Also after you win I want 10% for getting my lawyer involved. Also I want my lawyer to hold the post. LOL FastEddieF.:wink::wink::wink::wink:
You would have to unhook yourself from hanging from Jay's nuts first before you could free up a hand to call your attorney.
Were all players owed money from last year's open get paid ?
And the one before that ?
And the one before that ?
About 4 months before the tournament and 20 players show on Accu=Stats list. Of the 20, 5 paid for themselves. Out of the other 15 that Barry is gifting or the paid players are gifting, maybe 8 or 9 will show, if they can fit into or haven't sold their green jackets. "No Show Hall" and a few others never show. Four months before the tournament and about one player a day needs to sign up for the 128 to happen. Four months to go and players don't know if it is a Cat 2 or Cat 3 point event. $1000 entry fee won't help this event either... IMO.
Out of the country players all know by now that they were the last paid on purpose and some might still have been unpaid, if it wasn't for "The Pink Lady" coming to the rescue. All this and past and present smoke and mirrors BS leads me to believe the 2015 U.S Open will not happen in the form they are talking about now. Johnnyt

Johnnyt, For sure there is and has been and always will be smoke and mirrors for this event. BUT, we can't base ANYTHING on the amount of players signed up, until maybe 1 week before the event. Pool tournaments are just like ebay auctions. The price means absolutely nothing until the last 5 minutes of the auction.
Not to mention the first sign up last year was on July 8th. I'm confident the field will be full.

Yes, every year people that are paid by Barry and his nut huggers are very confident until you're not. People like you make me laugh. You seem to think everyone on this forum stupid. Johnnyt
Glad to give you a laugh however, never have I said I think anyone here is stupid nor do I call people names. I've only been working for him for a year but have a supporter of Barry & the Open for far longer.

if the additional $128K+/- aren't required to be secured, and last year in JUL the entry was reduced to $750 from $1000, and the last entries were accounted for <2wks prior to Opening, and still players/vendors weren't paid -
- will the person in charge of the money & books disclose this pertinent info to the fans, players, vendors, employees, et al, so that they can make better informed o-o-p decisions?
- if these $128K funds aren't secured, what guarantee do they have of refund against the $75K in escrow? and does it even apply in the Contract with AccuStats?

Do you consider yourself a good decision maker?
Based upon your performance as BB spokesmodel last year, when you ran around here with pom-poms and said how wonderful everything was going/going to be, and then disappeared when TSHTF, I'd say you should be issuing the Extra Large Grains of Salt this year.
