DERBY CITY CLASSIC DRESS CODE

maha said:
just who is going to come along and make pool so called respectable and put it on tv in prime time.

right now the and for the future, the audience is pool players only at tournaments and streaming. along with many going to regional events.

the dress of the players is not holding anything back at present time. if anything it creates more entries.

It is coming, slowly but surely.

The ass crack crowd bottom feeders will just have to adjust (and cover up) eventually.

Since when was that the goal? What we have seen, however, is that Matchroom, by managing the presentation of both its product and its players well, has been able to partner with some out-of-industry partners in the production of some of its events, including the Mosconi Cup, which about five years ago paid $20,000 to winning team members and $10,000 to losing team members. Now, it has doubled and the winners get $40,000 and the losers get $20,000. Yes, potential sponsors do care about the presentation of the professional pool product, and when they are reeled in, the players make more money.

There is, perhaps, no event in America that draws more player interest than the Turning Stone Classic, which sometimes fills its field of 128 almost a year in advance. The wait list always has dozens on it, too. The use of a strictly enforced dress code on the Joss Tour, which is probably the most successful regional tour in American history, has hardly turned any would-be entrants away. I think it is just the opposite. It makes players and fans alike more comfortable at a Joss Tour event.
 
okay but its up to each company to have whatever dress codes or conduct codes they see fit for their business.

and all that are run well seem to prosper. as in most any business.

if getting on tv isn't the goal then a dress code doesn't do much at all. there it will certainly be a factor. it si for a companies standards in their own minds.

and a minimum standard of attire is needed. but that needn't be something others judge as so called presentable.

Anyone that thinks that an appearance/looking like trash or a puke isn't detrimental is a fukn moron.

Next thing you know, something that looks professional - such as Matchroom - will schedule an event over something - perhaps maybe the Buffalos Pro Classic....

(And the pool jerseys look fukn stupid)

Any entity with any kind of $ isn't gonna look at that, let alone give it a second look.

At least there are about a dozen (maybe) players that can make an above middle class living at it stateside.....

Fukn unreal this is even a debate. Pool players....

What about their vocabulary , or lack of vocabulary?😉
 
I think how you present yourself is important. If you look like a professional, then people will respect you like one. I have experienced this many times when I go out of state for trickshot exhibitions. I don't have the name recognition as Venom or Mike Massey, but when I walk into the pool room wearing dress cloths and a vest, people know that I am somebody. I have had people tell me that. I had a guy in California tell me "I haven't heard of you, but you looked like somebody."
 
I'm not saying dress with a suit, but a nice pair of slacks and shirt without the fkn hats backwards would be nice.
