I can't say enough good things about what this game and bracket format offers to keep the learning process and competitive spirit on the same trajectory. Everyone who takes advantage of this new approach will understand the importance of what Joe (et al) are doing to get pool headed back in the right direction for both the players and the room owners.
Yeah its going to take "time contributions" from everyone to get this up and running across the country but the payback in the form of community building for the better players and room owners will be lasting. American Rotations needs great players and room owners to come together and set an example for the upcoming pool customer group to invest in.
Player designed, Player ran, and Player supported... American Rotation. We just need a little support from the 'higher ups' in the industry to make this one of the best things in pool today.
Get involved on the ground floor as soon as a bracket coordinator open enrollment in your area....( or learn to start one for a new group of 10 players yourself).

American rotation
I really applaud those that are getting involved in playing American Rotation.
This is something that joe tucker created - after several years of talking through different rules and formats.
It is perfect for local players to be able to compete on a national system at a very Reasonable and flexible schedule and cost.
Here is the opportunity for those that complain about 7' tables. This is a 9' league/competition.
Congrats to Chicago and St. Louis for getting involved. If we can get this to the full 64 rooms, I think it comes out to 4-6 national events- each with up to around $60k in prizes.
This could become the future 'pro tour' in US.
So get involved!
Get Hold of Joe Tucker.
If this fails - the players have nobody but themselves go blame!
Joe has busted his butt for 2 years- at a tremendous use of personal time and we have invested over $_______in making this happen.

Thinking about it?
I've been thinking about it for awhile and finally got the ball rolling. It was easier than I thought. If your on the fence about starting in your area just get out there and players will respond. I'm probably going to end up with 2 ten player brackets out of Red Shoes. The word is spreading fast in Chicago and it looks like Chris's may get a group as well.
Will be at teachers call the hall or mesg him on facebook

Class Act for sure
He's still the same ol' John. The room is doing well and he is still all about keeping pool/billiards alive.
A real "give you the flannel shirt off his back" kinda guy.

This ^^^^^^...
We start in the next couple of weeks... Put the word out- Get in touch with a local coordinator or Call Joe and he'll find one for you OR simply become one for your group of ten players....
As Mark has said ... Players stand up and be heard... "Here is the opportunity for those that complain about 7' tables. This is a 9' league/competition." This is your chance at the local level to make a healthy contribution towards keeping QUALITY pool on QUALITY equipment alive.
You are only responsible for your game. ie You are 'Your team" in the league of players. No kiddy pool, No handicaps and NO B.S. Just pure clean rotation pool. American Rotation.

So what are the full details of the league? Cost? Handicapping? Start and end dates? It looks like there isn't necessarily a specific league night. I would have a really hard time swinging a full league session, but I would love to try to find a way to make it work.
Abc league

Money ruins everything
Ok so after posting the breakdown I already received some B.S.
This is a great chance to play a new game with high caliber players (except me, woof) and have a great time.
Yes you will have a chance, especially with the new rules of this game. If you here to get rich, forget about. I take no money it's all going for entry fee for nationals and paying out 1-4.

Great post... I'd just add to just remember every Bracket coordinator (in different areas of the country) will have different more efficient ways to collect match *(bracket) fees...
The best way imo is (like every tournament you've EVER played in), is to collect upfront for easy accounting for everyone. We accept Paypal here in the Charlotte area, that way players can work out there own financial arrangements at any pace they chose. Everyone can then focus on why you are in the pool hall to begin with.... Shooting a clean healthy game for a change, getting better, helping others and Making new friends.
Build it right and the rest will fall into place.
Randy
well, speaking for myself, it's easier to pay by the week seeing that
Monday its straight pool $20 - $50
Tuesday bar league $20 - $50
Wednesday straight pool. $20 - $50
Thursday bar league. $20-$50
Friday night is tournament time usually $40-$50
Man, playing all that pool you are going to be tearing people up!
