Barry asked me to post his response in his own words to the rumors about this being the last year for the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships & here it is.
Allow me to personally respond by not using harsh words. Whoever was the fool who started this thread is just that, “a fool”.
I’m as excited as ever to get underway in 20 days from today with all that I’ve arranged for beforehand; such as a BCA regional bar table event at Q-Masters and also the 4, Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday, challenge matches in my tournament room. Then beginning on the first day the Open begins, Monday October 13th, we will be conducting at the Marriot alongside the Pro event many bar table events using 7 foot Diamonds in the other ballroom which we are not using as we are down to one grand ballroom using 9 , 9 foot Diamonds with a max field of 128 players.
Also, Q-Master Billiards will remain open 24/7 beginning Thursday October 9th through Saturday October 18th. Afterwards we have a lot of goodies going on for amateur and professional players, our greatest fans on the planet, 20 vendors, and my awesome sponsors who support the U.S. Open and have for a very long time. As a matter of fact, this year my dear friend Mr. Ivan Lee along with his companies, Simonis Cloth and Aramith Billiard Balls, will be our “Title” and “Arena” sponsor. Thank you very much Ivan.
Lastly, next year’s U.S. Open 40th Anniversary, wow, that’s a long time and wait til you see what I have in store for next October. I’ve lived my life by these words since age 14 when I read these 7 words as a freshman in the wrestling practice room, “Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win”. What other promoter can say that? See everyone very soon.
With Love and Appreciation,
Barry Behrman
