I want to see a bank pool matchup. Short Rack to keep the crowd interested. I think the pool world would enjoy watching top bankers..
Maybe a Race to 5, Best 3 out of 5 sets to win the match. John Brumback against any top banker. It could even be a Day 1 of a 3 day event, the other 2 days being the main event.
Keith McCready against Mike Sigel - Race to 11 - Best 3 out of 5 sets. Once again, it could be a Day 1 event, with the other 2 being a main event.
Scott Frost against Efren Reyes - Race to 5 - Best 3 out of 5 sets
Fatboy against Dippy for 1 million dollars - Race to 9 onepocket, winner take all. Winner has to give the loser the option to flip a coin for 1 million.. Someone either wins 1 million, 2 million or they break even.
I think it would be so cool to be able to have a 3 day event, with 2 matchups each day. Make up some games that would take about 6 hours tops, so it would be a 12 hour stream and you could get in 2 feature matches.
It could made up by having a poll on AZB to find out who the public wants to see play. AZB would determine who plays who and what game it would be. A list could then be sent out to all players and backers of who the public wants to see and that TAR wants to put together a 3 day event with 6 matchups. Minimum bet is 10k per man. Main event matchup must be min bet of 30k.
Sponsors for each player would be responsible for paying for the players expenses to get them there and back from the event and their room. Sponsors could also compensate top talent to come in and commentate. Anyone is free to donate their time as a gesture to TAR for all they've done for pool. TAR would get all stream proceeds. TAR would get all DVD proceeds too. There could be a few action tables too... that players that lose could try and win their money back on matching up against someone else that lost.
It would be a "Give back to TAR" event designed to have a blow out 3 day event celebrating TAR's contribution to pool, by having 6 fantastic matchups that would be streamed and recorded for DVD Sales. The whole event would be designed to allow TAR to pocket all stream and DVD profits without them having to pay for anything.
The whole idea would be a way for the pool world to give back to TAR for all they have done for us. To give them the chance to help pay for all the money they've spent out of the their own pocket to bring us quality pool matchups. For all the free streaming they've provided to us over the years.. for all the times that something went wrong and they lost money on a event... (or everything went right and they still lost money
)
If everything went great, it would give TAR some extra cash to buy some more equipment, or to use to put together a website for archiving video for ON Demand viewing.. or whatever their vision is.
C'mon all you promoters, sponsors, players, backers, marketers, people with deep pockets, and us the pool public.....
Let's make it happen!!!! Everyone gives 1 time, so that someone who has paid their dues in the pool world, can flourish and become even bigger!!!
Next year, the same can be done for Pat Fleming and Accustats.
Year after that.. maybe Greg Sullivan or whoever the public feels that is someone who has spent a good portion of their time and money to bring events to us regular pool folk
