Greg Sullivan and the Diamond folks are really trying to put pool and gambling where they belong, in the national spotlight. VIP’s will be in attendance during the two ring games, on Jan. 14th and 15th. If they like what they see, well, the doors will be open, financially and for television.
Players who are in the 10 Ball ring game will have their entry fees paid in all three divisions and their rooms taken care of. By my reckoning this is at least $1,100. Gentlemen who win the All-around have their rooms and entry fees paid for life. Many other amenities have been extended to people from every bastion of billiarddom. In my opinion they have the best tournament in the world.
I am again honored to do the ring games, but I am dismayed at the lethargic response from top players and backers/sponsors. I only have one deposit for the 10 Ball and past ring game winners haven’t even secured their spot. It wouldn’t bother me at all to have a great ring 10 Ball game with one level lower player. But, I’m telling you top players and your contingents, this is a marvelous opportunity for you to make money and star in front of influential people. However, the way I do things, it’s first come, first serve. Any pro can play. All I require is that he or she have enough ability to please a paying audience.
The Bank Pool ring game is just about full and I have surprises with that line-up, which I think folks will enjoy.
Please, anybody who wants to be involved with these terrific ring games, as player or sponsor, contact me and Merry Christmas to one and all.
