Cueandcushion I was not myself trying to make excuses I was just explaining to Timberly why I asked the question. If I had caused any of the frustration I wanted to apologize to her. I understand the reasons for this not being open to everyone and I will follow what rules and guidelines the other posters that have worked so hard to make this happen for all of us. I'm not even sure if I'm going to make it myself but sent in my money early as I could just to make sure I was envolved if I did get to make the trip.

No need to apologize.boradriver said:
The friends thing was more of a thought that ended up getting all of the attention in the thread. The frustration is more about the people that don't read the information provided (3 sticky threads in the DCC forum) and would ask me all the questions instead. It happened constantly with the raffle & then again with the player contributions. I was always polite and accommodating. Now we're in mid-dec, and I'm trying to get ready for Christmas, and I'm still getting these inquiries multiple times a day. Both WBM and myself made very thorough, thought out posts detailing all the information anyone could need in order to participate. I'm just really frustrated/annoyed at some people's refusal to do a quick search (the DCC forum would've been a great place to start). Instead they would email/PM me... I guess it's easier for me to take my time and re-state all the info that's been provided than it is for some people to actually read all the info provided.
There's no one person or thing that has caused my frustration and I have no problem with anyone and no one owes me an apology. I just want people to actually read the information they're given instead of deciding not to read it all and ask me for the cliff notes version, or deciding not to even bother looking for it. Some people have even posted in the sticky thread that had all the info needed... easier for them to ask me the info in a nutshell instead of having to read the whole post to get the info they need.
(sigh) There, I've vented.

My post was not intended to be me "crying". It was to let people know the frustration they can cause when they choose not to read the info provided for them.
It was also to suggest that playing priviledges should be reserved for AZB-1P forum members only. In order to participate on the forums you have to be a member... there is no guest posting. IMO, to participate (play pool) in the private room you should also be a member. It could easily get out of hand if we didn't restrict this... people could start bringing 2 & 3 friends and paying $25 ea for the 9 days as opposed to paying table time. It could take away from members being able to interact and shoot against each other and it's something that could also be taken advantage of.
I'm sorry that you feel the way that you do. You are correct in one sense... for the folks that never post, or rarely post, it's not as sociable of an event as it is for the people that participate on here more often. I've met lurkers in the past that are very nice people and because they've read the forum, they feel they know me. The problem lies in the fact that I do not know them.
You brought up some good points that I hadn't thought of. As mentioned in my PM, as I do not want to inconvenience anyone (since it's my problem anyhow) -- Todd Marsh can be scratched off the list. But please keep Dan Louie, who is a member of AZB, as a watcher/socializer (he won't be playing).
The whole point of this room last year was to get together with the people of this and the 1P forums in a controlled environment. Where we could play a little pool together and invite the pro's in to hang out a little.I think Timberly is right in suggesting a deadline for someone to have an account and for payment.
I will apologize in person for my tardiness, even though my check arrived before the actual deadline.
And Willie, you're officially challenged to play a match or 2. See you all soon.

You expect too much!!!
Folks, it's not that hard.
Step 1. Get yourself a $25 money order.
Step 2. Mail it to Timberly by the 15th of Dec.
If this confuses anyone please return to Step 1.
Just having some fun.
Timberly, WBM, Steve, Eydie, Donovan, Bankonit; I am looking forward to meeting all you enthusiasts. Thanks again for taking the time to make DCC an even more haappening place. See you guys on 1/5.
