In 2016 we had an event in the suburbs of Chicago called The Atlantic Cup Challenge. I took my then 6 year old daughter to try to inspire her to play.
A few days ago I was telling a friend about it, looked up who those kids were.
Vitali Patsura and Kristina Tkatch were there.
Also future Mosconi Cup players Shane Wolford and Chris Robinson/Reinhold! Also April Larson and Sierra Reames.
I remember them playing great back then, who would have known how great these players would go on to be!
Also on hand were Johnny Archer, Jeanette Lee, Dennis Hatch, Nick Varner and Allison Fisher.
Barely anyone there, 20-30 people.

That had to be a fun time ! When a group of top players are brought together for a event then darn few show up for it .

When Shane and Earl came to Billings MT it was a packed house completely sold out until Sunday afternoon was when I showed up and got to meet them both .

Earl asked where I was from and was surprised that I drove 150 miles one way and a good part of the way was in a blizzard just to be there ha ha .
Then in a heavily populated area there's little or no attendance .

Yes I love the game called pool ha ha
