They should also serve free beer and cut my lawn every week this summer.
We all know that pool room owners are rolling in money. They've got so much of it that they're having to close because they can't handle all the money that's coming in.
valley
the metal valley part in the corners and the plastic pocket piece are sunk in to match the height of the wood / vaneer part of rails. So it is similar to a diamond that the whole top of rails etc is all flush or even. It is actually a really nice change to the old style and makes a few shots less difficult to bridge / shoot off rail.

Guess a lot of posters haven't heard of a business' overhead? Something has to pay the bills!
Nope, the beer is where they will make the money, and the VIP seats, and the food, plus the exposure, etc. As far as cutting your lawn, you will have to talk to them about that. I've been around this game for a long time and played many tournaments. Look at the the tournament announcements in AZ. How many tournaments don't have added money as a draw? Most at least add the green fee's back. It's been a norm in the industry for as long as I can remember.
Yep, see quote above. I like what they are doing. It reminds of the 2 $3000 entry ring games that Dan had in Olathe several years ago. (Tables were open btw). It's a unique format that hasn't hurt them because they were able to get 16 players. I'm guessing most of the players are being staked to get into the tournament. I like it. It's great and I'll probably buy the stream and support Ray or hell I might even drive down there and watch it. But, with that said, it's still a bit cheap not to open the tables for a $2000 entry tournament with no added money.
man it is true,pool players will complain if you seed them into the final match,it cant all be about the players to keep doing it year after year,the promoters gotta make something. Besides if i am not mistaken its says there will be a Calcutta,which will probably be big if the field is even,and several guys can win it,and it seems to be. My pick is Jesse Bowman too if hes playing much,but its a stacked field.
nope
It won't hit 10 k anyways around here. I guess more like 5-7k. Only a few guys around here will bet $1000 on a player. I do know a couple corporations have been formed already to buy some people though.

As I said earlier......some people just don't understand business!..:wink:
what would be a standard type stakeholder/player scenario in this scenario?
$2000-2500 from the stakeholder for entry and possibly expenses against a potential cut of how much???

With no added money and the extremely top-heavy payout structure I would not
back anyone in this particular tourney.
However, to even start considering it it would be backing for entry fee only and the player
will be playing for around 25-30% of the profit depending on their skill level (someone like
Orcollo could maybe get 35-40%).
Obviously all savers (and there will be savers) will be deducted from the profit before splitting
when paying them and go to the backer first (at least upto $2000) when getting them.

I'm sure you don't care what I think, but I've talked with a lot of people regarding streams lately. No way should your streams be free, but you are pricing yourself right out of events.
The giveaways are nice additions, but once again people pay to watch pool, and the prices are a bit high.

Actually my prices are now cheaper than ever before. Most events are now free until the final 16 and then 12.95 to 14.95.
This is a special event with nothing but high level talent. $25 to sweat about 40 hrs of high level pool is dirt cheap. Even cheaper yet you can get a 90 day pass for $50 and that includes all tournament coverage plus 33% off action matches.
