Ok Jay, I'll bet on the word of your friend Pat if the $75k is there in full or not by July 25th.
$50
And if I lose and pay off and then if any player is not paid in full at the time of the event or a check bounces again, I get my $50 back plus another $100.
Jay,
I want to add my sincere thanks to you for all you have done, and continue to do for this glorious, benchmark event.
It certainly is not easy.
And I hope you know that as you continue to move forward, you hold the unwavering support and admiration of all who want to see this event overcome the myriad hurdles of the recent past and return the event to its lofty place in the world's events.
Many watch, only a few participate in the thankless work of an event of this magnitude. Yep, there have been some (very) genuine issues in the recent past, but I believe all the hard work underway by great people such as Pat, Roberta, yourself and others will meet with positive results and place the event on better footing.
Please take a moment to pass along my sincerest thanks to the others working diligently behind the scenes.
See you this October.
Will Prout
....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 events
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:Too many qualifiers for me. You turned a simple yes or no bet into some kind of algorithm.

You would have to unhook yourself from hanging from Jay's nuts first before you could free up a hand to call your attorney.
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.

Do you consider yourself a good decision maker?
