So your saying they cancelled them all???

''The US Open Pool Championship will return in 2021. Matchroom Pool and MGM Resorts will continue to monitor the global situation and will make an announcement regarding dates for the 2021 US Open Pool Championship in due course.

I know, by why are they advertising on their FRONT page, about something that was cancelled 5 months ago????

Advertising what's Not going to happen, for what did not happen?

I don't get it.

Be like saying Derby City was cancelled, when it was? or was it not?? It's history.

Advertising 2021 Mandaly is still in cue, even tho 2020 was cancelled makes more sense.

Here is part of Matchroom's announcement from four days ago (August 6th, 2020):

The 2020 US Open Pool Championship, originally scheduled for April 13-18, 2020 and postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has now been cancelled.

Matchroom Pool, together with MGM Resorts, has taken this decision after considering the current global government and travel advice around the Covid-19 pandemic.

The US Open Pool Championship will return in 2021. Matchroom Pool and MGM Resorts will continue to monitor the global situation and will make an announcement regarding dates for the 2021 US Open Pool Championship in due course.

tech support is last in the decision tree.

executives made the call, and when the tech people learn about the update they can post it.

website management is awful, everyone just uses social media now

From the late George Carlin:

“If something in the future is canceled, what is canceled? What has really happened? Something that didn’t occur yet is now never going to occur at all. Does that qualify as an event?”

Months ago when corona hit the “2020” US Open was “postponed”.

Now, the current press release from 4 days ago and on the main page says the “2020” event is completely cancelled, as opposed to postponed.

It also states the 2021 event is still on, with dates TBD.
