None of you get it, this isn't a pool tournament, it's a sales convention for Predator!
Arizona Open (CSI Predator US Pro Billiard Series) 28-31 July, (10 Ball/9 ft table) Winner $13K
- Thread starter spartan
- Start date
But they say it was exciting that way.Two races to 4. Then a shootout.
OMG!
Predator re-invented the pool tournament.
Instead of 1080p it was 720.
I think were regressing folks.
To have call shot, yet allow the 10 ball to count on the break is just retarded. Oh it is so exciting. Golden Break. Golden Break. LMAO
As rarely as that happens i don't see this as a big deal. Good to see more pro pool regardless of format/rules. The stream is what needs working on. It was pretty bad imo.
I am sure Predator kick in money for their stuff to be used, pimped, and hyped.
Maybe RKC sould have offered more dollars, and you would be famous like Predator.
You're sure in support of a broken system!!
You're gullible as hell if you can't see Predator is all about sales and not this sport, race to 4....really, what a joke!
The Pro players are just pawns in a game of sales!!
Sponsors do not throw money, prizes, equipment at most things for love. They expect return on investment.
Be thankful Predator jumped on board.
When RKC you personally going to sponsor A BIG EVENT.
Know I personally will never do, as I have zero to gain.
Predator is hoping for sales, in return for support!

Sounds like you know whats best for the players and how a real pool tournament should be.
Will you be hosting a pool tournament that benefit the players anytime soon ?

Coos Cues
I see a bunch of foreigners listed as US there. Are they naturalized citizens now? Maybe they should be on the MC?
DCC Cough cough DCC cough cough.
Doubt it did them much good. I don't think diamond needs to worry about competition other than Predator's events. Unlikely any other event will use them unless they get paid to do so.
The tables played terribly according to players. I was told they haven't settled on what rubber they will use for their rails once production starts and they are currently using a cheap trial set. I'm not sure how true that is but the source is fairly reliable.
I watched one young pro hitting the CB at the end rail at maybe 2x lag speed and the ball was jumping into the air more than and inch on rebound.
At one point I saw Oscar waking around the tables sliding pennies under the rails to get them closer to the proper height for the players to practice. Ernesto was trying to fix the rail heights from the underside later.
Another player mentioned the ball hitting the edge where the slates meet -not sure if they were not set up properly or if it was a quality issue.
I was told the cloth was more like 760 as far as the speed and players had to adjust to the amount of spin (draw) they were getting.
They also never cleaned the balls on the tables not in the arena. Corey said the banks were considerably shorter the dirtier the balls got. Not sure about the TV table.
Yes, very soon, but unlike anything ever witnessed before.
Cough all you want, Diamond adds more than a $100K to that event in added money alone, WHO else adds that much money to ANY event today, Predator, Matchroom? Name who else does????
I bet you don't even attend the DCC!
WRONG items to sell if you're wanting to do something for pool buddy!!!
Just look at who was doing the advertising, that right there tells you it was a joke!!!
World Team cup competition, 16 4 player teams, 3 men, 1 woman, representing 16 countries is my first event, round robin style play, all teams play all other teams. No team entry fees!! Minimum team Fargo rate score of 3000 combined points required to form a team!
Teams play for their share of $10K per match, pay outs are based on the combined win of both teams, divided into the $10K , which then adds the value to each game won per team.
