I want on the team now.
After dealing cards for 8 years I have had many homes, businesses, and who knows what else go through my hands. I miss the money I made but the culture is sickening. I mande my share of mistakes and had my fun in Vegas. I never dealt in Vegas, the real money for a dealer is in California where the dealers keep their own money.
Now if I go to Vegas it's for pool or dinner and a show. If I didn't have friends there i would say Blow it up.
from your lips to Gods ears, I hate Vegas, it makes me sick to see what seen I have there and how its covered up. I sure as hell aint a saint, but man I aint near as low as they go in Vegas. Its a disease(no joke),
as far as $ goes i could have more if i wasnt lazy, but doing what you want to do (speaking for myself) is more important than another car etc. I''m lucky i didnt lose it all, i almost did.

No problem at all, enjoying the conversations.
Latest word on Bonus Ball is that they are going to avoid conflicts with existing events such as Ultimate 10 Ball, The Southern Classic and the various U.S. Opens put on by CSI in Vegas. If this is in fact true, it is a good decision imo!
Dave McColl of Runout Media and a representative of Bonus Ball will be on the Pool Time radio show this evening. The show airs live in the Kansas City market from 5pm to 6pm Central. It can also be listened live on the web at http://tunein.com/radio/KCXL-1140-s32214/
It should be a very informative interview about the latest news concerning Bonus Ball.

This is what Badi Nazhat has been hoping for UNITY in our industry.
All of our industry promoters need to be pulling in the same direction. Intentionally or unintentionally hurting another promoter's efforts is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Let's hear more about this attempt to avoid conflicts, ESPECIALLY how it relates to these two events which are just around the corner.
Yes, kudos to the guys at Bonus Ball. Thanks.
Well, as far as UTBC is concerned, we called Badi a few months back in regards to his event, and opted to eliminate a day right off our schedule to accommodate. We also adjusted the start times of our matches on days prior and after the UTBC event to give sufficient travel time the players.
Nathan, this begs the question, what about the Southern Classic and the U.S. Open One Pocket, Ten Ball and Eight Ball? Have I been misinformed?
Obviously Jay I am not involved with Bonus Ball but I was amazed to hear about the changed you had mentioned. The only event that Bonus Ball are working around to my knowledge and per their last press release is the Ultimate Ten Ball. The Southern Classic will only be attended by the players who have a off week from the schedule or decide to get a sub to play in their place. Hopefully Nathan can clear that up for sure but thats the way I have heard it. Hope all is well old man

IN listening to the podcast today by Dave McColl of Runout Media and reading this thread, it seems that the very recent addition of 12 ALTERNATE PLAYERS will allow any of the Main Players to choose an alternate to take there place.
So if players want to attend the Southern Classic, they should be able to do so. I'm not speaking for Bonus Ball but I hope that more will be done to
avoid conflicts with major events like The Ultimate 10 Ball Championship, Southern Classic, Derby City Classic, U.S. Open 10 Ball Championship, U.S. OPen One Pocket Championship, U.S. OPen 9 Ball Championship as well as the rest of the World Events.

Darryl Smith did a great job of covering a lot of pool business. I wouldn't mind being kept in the loop when he does more of these type broadcasts.
TWO THUMBS UP!

:smile::smile:This is soooo true. I have questioned myself a few times why I got into this business. I still don't know the answer to that. :smile:
TBH when they said they were getting an additional 12 subs into BB I kinda chuckled because I think they are realizing the players are going to play the big events they want to play and Bonus Ball is going to need those subs badly. It should be interesting to see the lineups for the BB matches that conflict with the US Open 10-ball and how many actual members of that team are actually playing those matches and how many are subs.
He does them live every Sunday at 5:00PM Central time. I think this is a real bright spot for pool, it would be great if other people would emulate this type of thing.

I guess it's official. It's a game not a sport.
new teams
I assume (hopefully) that you will be adding more teams next season if the league is successful. And considering that your market will be world wide are you planning on inviting teams from outside the US? Which leads me to another question. How does one get a team into the League?? Don
