John, I wish I could take credit for all the great ideas of the AZ-1p room but I can't. The credit for including onepocket.org goes to our dear late friend Old Has Been, Tom Ferry. The room was his idea, and from day one he included onepocket.org. I'm glad he did because I've met a few people that I probably would not have met otherwise.JohnInNH said:
, I don't get to live in here as often as my heart desires, so bare with me on my slow progress. The raffle is really growing. Please keep doating items and by al means send in your money. The 2007 event is really going to be something!
Yes, one person can end up winning multiple items. If you buy $40 worth of tickets, you will have 40 tickets entered into the drawing. If you're really lucky, you could win 40 items...in which case I would be sending you to the nearest 7-11 to buy me a lottery ticket.will8834 said:
Timberly said:I'm taking donations up until Oct 6th.
For those of you that aren't aware of the reason behind the raffle, here's an explanation that Williebetmore had written up to describe it and it's purpose....
Timberly and I, along with several other AZBilliards forum members (and the owner of onepocket.org), organized a private room at this year's DCC. We had a private, 9 ft. table provided by Greg Sullivan, and many activities all week long: exhibitions and challenge matches with pro's, lessons from some hall of famers, giveaway tournaments for the members. We also had a celebrity Scotch doubles match for 2 of our members, who partnered with Efren Reyes and Jeanette Lee (played on the television table with a Sardo rack, and broadcast on BCN). It was a great opportunity for our internet community to get together and share in the activities we all love (and discuss endlessly on the AZBilliards forum).
Our room was not sponsored by AZBilliards.com, but rather was funded solely by the donations from our participating members (all pool fanatics who participate on the internet forum). This coming year (2006), Greg Sullivan has given us permission to have some "sponsors" for our room to help defray the cost - in hopes that we can use some of our money to fund a pro competition that can be taped by Accu-Stats (perhaps a rotation match between Efren and a top U.S. player).
We are seeking sponsors that would like to contribute some merchandise that we can auction to our members. All funds will be used for the room, the table, and prize money for any tournaments that we organize and sponsor. Other than our gratitude all we can offer in return is frequent mention of your product on the largest internet forum for true pool fanatics and students of the game - it is a truly amazing collection of extremely knowledgeable pool players who have a deep love for the game.
Craig, you're the best! Thanks for all that you've done. LOL, it's a good thing you don't have anything else to ship out... I think you guys had a tornado when you were trying to ship out the stuff to me and now these nasty storms while trying to get out the tee shirts!cueandcushion said:
I hope everything is ok with your homes & business.Limen, last yr at the DCC we had a private room for AZ billiards and 1-pocket.org members. This room contained a 9 ft pool table and was a week long meet & greet area for those of us here on the forum. We had a few mini 4 man tourney's where everyone won some money, we ordered pizza, and at any given time you never knew who was going to be in the room playing challenge matches, demonstrating, teaching, & even gambling. We had a banner that all the pro's signed and we even got Tony Stewart in the room to sign it.limen said:
Craig you should indeed be gushing with pride, this is a great idea much better than having to sponge of somebody to set up the room, I only hope I will be there to soak up the atmosphere!
