Something New Next Year at the Expo

Hey Guys as you may have heard me talking this year at the expo, next year is going to be even bigger and better.

I have taken it personally on to myself to start something I am calling the

" 14.1 for Everyone Initiative "

Basically next year I am going to include a juniors entry tournament which will be 16 and under.

There will be prizes galore but here is the kicker. I am going to enlist the help of some straight pool icons to walk our juniors through their racks.

Imagine a new crop of straight pool players coming up in the ranks being guided by some of the most knowledgeable players on the planet. These kids will be playing for fun and prizes but will also be learning in the process. Imagine a 12 year old's face as he hits his first break shot with the help of someone like John Schmidt. Imagine the confidence level as he tells his or her friends about the incredible time they had at the expo playing the game we all love 14.1!!

I want to encourage a newer younger generation to take up the game we all so love and next year plan to devote at least one table to this cause for any amount of time that I can.

Please feel free to get back to me with ideas regarding this or any thoughts you might have.

Oh and this is only one of the incredible ideas I have for next year's event. I only wish it was more than a four day event.

Sincerely,
Charlie

I just really think its important that we start exposing the sport of pool as well as 14.1 to people of all ages but most of all the kids who will be coming up within our sport.
