A Few Thank-Yous from AZB

Jerry Forsyth

Well-known member
I just want to thank those who made the Turning Stone coverage such a success.

First, thanks to all who watched the stream and kept up to date on the scoring and brackets pages. Without an audience all of this would be a waste.

Next, thanks to Mike Zuglan who gave us free reign to do as we wished and allowed us to leave all of the lights on in the arena. It was all of this light that made the stream quality possible. And, of course, thanks to Mike for all of his work just putting this event together.

Thanks to Turning Stone for their support of the event and for their excellent staff who did so much to provide us what we needed to make it all happen.

A very special thanks to Pat and Buster of Accu-Stats. These two guys worked 16 hours a day and even went for 24 hours without eating in order to provide us with the stream. They put work ahead of any personal needs and they did a great job.

Thanks to all of the players who appeared on the stream. They are the stars of the show and all of them cooperated with us completely and put on a great show.

And thanks to my partner, Mike Howerton. He worked every day from 10 AM until after midnight to keep the scoring and brackets live and up to the minute. He went without sleep and meals to stay on the job constantly.

A HUGE thank-you to Upstate Al, Geoff Conway. Mike Babstuebner and all of the other guest commentators who stepped up to the plate and gifted us with their expertise and insights to make the show such a success.

Finally, my heartfelt thanks to the TAP league system, Simonis Cloth, and Lucais Hybrid Cues for providing the funds required to put on the show. Their faith in us and their vision of pool as an entertainment medium is what the sport needs to gain traction and the momentum it must have if the fans and players are to succeed and the sport is to grow. Please support these companies with your business. Anyone who cares for the future of the game owes them their loyalty.

The Accu-Stats AZBilliards partnership is growing and we have lots more improvements to unveil in the future. Our goal is to have a stream with the greatest possible entertainment value and we will not ever rest in our pursuit of this goal. We were very happy to be able to create the studio and to do the instant replays at Turning Stone. We have more plans for the future and are excited about where we are going.

Thanks again to everyone!

Best,
Jerry

Jerry, great show! I really enjoyed the live FREE coverage of this event. I couldnt manage to find a road partner far enough in advance or I would have played again!

Randy, if you want to go in December, I am interested in going and playing. $200 entry, hotel is usually $119 a night. Works well splitting 3 or 4 ways.

Let me know buddy!
 
Every aspect of the stream was a success. I appreciate the hard work of the entire team & THANK YOU for providing all that at no cost.
 
Jerry, I enjoyed the commentary, as well as the rest of the show. You and Mike are doing a great job.

I was only able to watch about 2 hours of the total stream, darn it, and if the rest was as good as what I saw you guys rocked it! Thanks for all of the hard work getting live pool for us to watch!

Outstanding job across the board by all connected with the event and stream. If this is a sign of things to come (and I think it is with this group) I'm gonna need one of those gigantic popcorn machines and way more Bailey's and coffee (__)>.
 
Thanks for all the good work

The stream was nice to watch form all aspects but the one I enjoyed the most was player interviews after a match. Those few moments of candid discussion after a match helps me decide who my favorite players will be.
Thanks again.
 
Great Job! I want to also thank the players who provided the reason for the show in the first place. Without them there wouldnt be one.
Aloha to my homeboy Rodney and all the players who put there hearts out on the felt. Nice to see Josh Ulrich a fine player and a great human being to get some tv time.
A first class production by all means. Thank you Jerry and friends and especially to my friend and role model Pat Fleming.
