Michael, are you connected in some way with Bonus Ball? If so, how? And were you there before? If so, sorry, I don't remember your name.
Yes, I was/am staff photographer ( every still photo of the BB matches I shot ).

It's only 8 days, and I bet they got back pay and probably advanced pay already. At least I would hope so.
Ok it's back but why? Just to finish a 'season'? They are throwing good money after bad.
Before it was disaster if they left the studio vacant one week-Now it's going to be vacant 48 weeks or so and of the 70 people that were buying the live stream, now they will get maybe 20?
Good luck to them but they are going to need a lot more than luck. I still can't see even this lame ass finale happening.

Hey all - time for you to have fun ranting and venting and such - it is official - Bonus Ball is back from the dead! Check out the official flyer ( front and back ). November 2-9 .18 matches. Be there or be square!
All this advertizing means nothing, promises, promises, wheres the monies, thats all that really matters!
Thanks for reminding me. A few more questions:
• The new 18 matches will make for a total of 54 matches (36 have been played to date) rather than the originally planned 132 matches. Will there be any playoffs after all teams have played 9 matches?
• Have any changes been made in the game rules?
• Will the 18 matches be streamed live? If so, will they be free or ppv?
• Will the teams and players be the same as before?
• Who are the BB employees or contractors now (non-players)? Same announcer? Same referee? Same camera people? Is Larry Chiborak still in charge?
• Can any more be said at this point about the plans to make this endeavor financially sound? I.e., what is being done to sell the product? Has it already been sold in some fashion?
1) The season was originally planned at 72 matches, and has been shortened to 54.
2) Playoffs planned for some time in January.
3) Same rules - have to be - continuation of the season.
4) Taped matches to be shown free when edited, probably in December
5) Same teams, same players - remember, this is a continuation of the season.
6) Same staff, new referee.
7) Believe me, they are trying as hard as possible to pick up a network, etc. Too much time, sweat, and dollars went in to getting this big project off the ground. Everyone involved is trying their hardest to make this a success - and that especially includes the stars of the show, the players. Everyone has a lot of sweat equity in this, and no one wants it to fail.
1) Regular season was to be 72 matches. 54 is the shortened version
2) Same rules - season is continuing
3) Same players, same teams.
4) Same staff, new referee.
5) Everyone has tried very hard to make this a success. Some mis- steps along the way, principally in the marketing department. They are trying very hard to make a good show, and get it picked up. A lot of sweat, time and money has gone into this difficult venture. Especially the stars of the show - the players. They want it to work just as bad as everyone else.
in the works still - if you know pool you can easily guess.
That should be interesting. Lee Brett did a great job.
Good one. Johnnyt
