Bonus Ball was a great game, very interesting but not sure it was quite right to stand on its own and make it with the masses. I think the team aspect, shot clock, arena and production were great along with the players being mic'd and commentary. I do think the teams should have been playing a set of each such as 8 ball, Bonus Ball then either 9 or 10 ball so fans could get introduced to the game slowly but still have the other games they know and love being played under a team format to enjoy.
Perhaps they have someone who is trying to get all of the footage and first season on sports channels worldwide, I am sure many countries in Asia might take the footage and play it if given it for free. I would think worldwide you could generate viewership in the millions on the re-run of it and maybe draw some sponsors for it. What it comes down to is numbers and that would equate to dollars from sponsors. It is a long shot but you never know if something could take hold.
For those who do not think that the players did not enjoy the game or were just there for a paycheck you are wrong, I believe most really loved the game and believed we could make it happen. There were some players and I mean very few who were just there for a paycheck and all of the players and crew knew who they were. Lots of errors were made along the way and it was quite the learning experience. I do hope something comes along, we know the players will get behind it and that was the great thing about Bonus Ball is it showed the players can come together and stand strongly behind something.
I really learned a good deal about many things in the billiard industry and some life lessons too. I got to meet many great people who I hope to have life long relationships with and to me that coupled with the experiences were something you cannot put a price on. I do hope something else comes along, maybe take some of the things that Bonus Ball did right and learn from the mistakes made at the expense of the investors, crew and players. Thanks to those fans who did support it.
P.S. I will be having an announcement to make in about a week concerning a program to better the game and hope those of you will get behind it as I guarantee it will help to grow the game. I will need some help with it. :thumbup:
