An AZB TAR Match-up

Would you pre-purchase a TAR DVD set to fund an AZB Dream Match?

Alot has been said about different players matching up on here. Obviously, the main problem with this is the money. What I would like to know is if the members here would consider funding an "AZBilliards Dream Match-up"?

I consider this could work a couple ways which could be discussed further, but my initial idea would be for all AZB members that wish to participate to pre-pay for the DVD set, say $100. Per previous posts by TAR the two players generally receive 25% each of the DVD net profits. I have no idea what TARs profit margin is, but they could be directly involved in determining a minimum $ figure prior to the voting. This could even be a winner-take-all loooong ring game, it could be any game.

The agreement could then be made that trip expenses would be covered for the players and that one of them would recieve the full 50%. If enough DVDs were pre-purchased this could ensure the winning player a reasonable amount of cash without any actual backer needed. The player would in essence be playing on his own money (the 25% of DVD profits).

I am not trying to step into TAR's business, actually to promote it. Let's see how many people would pre-purchase to see the AZB Match to be voted on by members here?




P.S. This could make the Barbox Legends match-up a reality, or New School v. Old School, or any number of previously mentioned matches here on AZB.

Stipulation that match must be agreed upon by players, players should be contacted prior to actual voting on the matches.
 
If travel costs would be covered I could participate. I have a bunch of leave saved up but I doubt I could convince my wife to let me buy a plane ticket and hotel to play someone from the boards :) It wouldn't be financially viable for me right now anyway as I'm building a new computer this month, and I'm saving up for a baby due in November.
 
I am actually talking about a vote for who AZBers would like to see play not what player from AZB would play. I see threads all the time talking about how great it would be to see so and so match up ... and it would. This may be an opportunity to arrange it. For example:

1. Dave Matlock v Kieth McCready
2. Scotty Townsend v Jason Kirkwood
3. Cliff Joyner v Scott Frost
4. Jon Hennessee v Donnie Mills
5. Mike DeChaine v anyone 21 and under
6. Player X v. the 10 ball ghost
7. Player X v. the one pocket ghost
8. John Schmidt v. Running 350 balls
9. Bar box legends ring game: Kirkwood, Townsend, McCready, etc...

If TAR agreed and enough was pre-paid, we could take suggestions of players board members would like to see play and then contact the players with the arrangement. After determining which players would agree we could then have a vote for which match-up AZB members would most like to see.

Of course, if a pro match is not what is wanted by AZB the votes will determine that either way.

How exactly do you play the one pocket ghost? Do you break the pack wide open and try to run 8 and out in your hole?
 
TAR bring you... Betmore Cup Challenge!

When this woofing and wincing finally blows over between Mark Griffin and Willibetmore and if they decide to finally play for the infamous "Betmore Cup" - it should be a TAR match:D

The old-timers and Jay Helfert's competition at the Derby had them break and leave the cue ball where it came to rest (no ball-in-hand). The players who did this with success broke the balls with a slightly harder break than traditional one pocket and sent the cue two rails to center table. This obviously would sell out in a standard one pocket game but since you have no opponent it left the players open to chip the stack apart and run out. I believe John Schmidt came in second averaging 9 balls per rack and Gabe Owen won only failing to pocket 15 balls total out of 5 racks.
 
We have some matches coming up that are close to whats on your list. Soon as we get the deposits we will announce them.

I like the idea of AZ members voting on a match. We might figure a way to do something with that in the future. One thing we do not do is take money for something that we have not produced yet. IMO that is just a bad habit to get into.

Not sure how to make a vote work but it is something to work on for sure.

Absolutely, and just trying to support a great product. Great job on the Shane v Alex Action Challenge. The video is very clean. Thanks
 
Maybe we could get TAR to come to Country Rock and tape Corvette playing someone on the bar tables there. Afterwards, they would definitely get to video him making it rain....

I like the way you think.

AZ Cribs.

We follow around a member for one day doing their normal routine.

We could follow Vette to the office and watch him surf AZ all day, then go back home and hijack the 4 Mexican landscapers at 8 ball and top it all off by making it rain at the local gentlemans club. Just another typical Wednesday in the life of Vette.

I'm in.

That's the plan. For the bar table event.

Im sure the demand for this would be astronomical. You might need to call paypal and tell them to get their support team ready for the influx of money transfers.

You could follow him after the bar and call it AZ Crabs. HaHa, a little humor at the expense of another person... isn't the internet great.
