A New Pool game...? Yes... Look inside...

Any private entrepreneur in this field is going to quickly realise that online message boards are a brutally tough crowd… and perhaps that dose of reality is no bad thing. I have seen folks lose an awful lot of money with similar ventures many times in the past.
That said, I always applaud those who try and sincerely wish Jack well and hope his project is a tremendous success.

It seems Jack has abandoned us as no longer useful.
I must have missed the answers.
A contract with themselves? The alternative is that the contract is with a major backer who is putting up a lot of money to get this thing started, but then they wouldn't have had a problem getting a few thousand balls from Aramith or Dynaspheres, especially if this looked like it could cause a lot of people to buy new sets of balls. Who remembers BBC Co. pool?

I guess because nobody signed up to promise to buy a set of balls they knew nothing about. Wasn't May supposed to be peak crowdsourcing time for this? I thought the balls were going to start rolling off the lines in July.
I don't. What was it? I'm not googling, 'BBC' at work.

If you’re correct Mark that would surprise me, sir. Tri-Ball has been around for a few years.
At least it has if it’s the same Tri-Ball I can recall… five reds, five blues, five whites and a black?

Ah, that sounds correct indeed then, sir. 
That is the set I recalled… 
Perhaps Jack’s new design is similar, but with numbered balls?

So wait, the 'big problem that everybody has run into playing pool' was you can't have 3 players at the same time? That's the big thing? Jesus Christ.
It's just 8 ball for three people?? Jesus Christ.

There is already 3 player 8 ball and other 3 player games, and you don't need to buy another set of balls.

How to Play Pool with 3 Players
Pool usually is a game enjoyed by two players or two pairs of players. However, it is possible to play pool with 3 players. So, whenever three of you want to play pool, you can play any of the following pool and billiard games.

We’re only speculating though, Moe. The new design concept might be entirely different.

Well they're selling these on the site for the paltry sum of $250 a set. Seems odd they'd still be selling these if the world changing design is coming out any day now. I don't think a different design is going to change much.

This definitely has to be it. On the site they're making a huge deal about how it's THREE 3 PLAYER 8-BALL like they split the atom or something. Same WORLDWIDE taking over the world hyperbole, "We are rolling out globally and you can be a part of it! We are identifying retailers and stockists World Wide of 3 Player sets. We have global patents and trademarks in place"
I never understood this. There are already multiple ways to play the game with a standard set of balls. Hell, you can already even play 3 player 8 ball.
I thought maybe the "problem" they were solving was some kind of strategic thing or something. This is some sad trombone stuff.

Shelti marketed a numbered cutthroat set many years ago.

Ahahahahaha
It's weird he was talking about setting up league and championship play. We already have 8 ball leagues and championships. There is no reason to set up 3 person 8 ball leagues or championships. I get that you might want to play 3 person if you happen to have 3 people around, but there's no reason to set up a specific thing for it otherwise.
