It will be if TAR is in it. You have my word on that. It was supposed to be non smoking last year and we expected the hotel to enforce it. They didn't so this year we will. No one likes playing or sweating when you can't breath.
Perfect!!!

I just finished talking to Gregg Sullivan, we talked about the last DCC in regard to the good and bad points. We covered just about all the questions one would have if interested in attending. Some of the good points were that the security was much better than at the Exec West, and the food was also better, plus the concession stands were always open. He assured me that there would be more restaurants open this year over last year, based on the severity of the winter storm that precluded workers from getting there. He also said that the hotel was allotting him an extra 100 rooms this year. That will help a lot of the people that had to travel from outside hotels. I asked him about the gambling area, that is one of the big attractions at the old DCC that was missing the first year at the new location. We agreed that gambling at pool was what really made the DCC a special event, and this year he would make changes with the gambling areas. There is a room on the second floor above the tournament room, where there are 8 tables, he is thinking about making that room the official gambling area. In addition to that he said that after tournament play ends (daily)about 12:00 pm the tournament room would be available for gambling. But please be discreet. Well it seems to me that the next DCC will be much improved, and we all should be looking forward to attending. I know I am, basically because I enjoy the gambling end of it, in addition to the tournament play.
For those who would like to compete with me gambling the following is a resume of the last 3 years that i've put together.Below is my resume for the past three years ( approx. )
2007- Played Scott Frost getting 10 to 6 ( we played 4 or 5 times ) I won a peanut.
2007- Played Ike Runnells getting 9 to 8, I lost 25k ( In Chicago )
2008- Played Tony Chohan getting 10 to 7 and 9 to 6, I lost 5k ( In Vegas )
2008- Played Tony Chohan getting 1 hit and the pick I lost 8k ( DCC )
2008- Played Tony Chohan getting 9 to 6 and 2 out of 3 breaks I won 20k ( In Det )
2008- Played Scott Frost getting 1 hit and the pick I lost 9k ( DCC )
2008 -Played Jesse Bowman even one pocket I lost 10k ( In Vegas )
2008- Played Scott Frost getting 10 to 6 and then 11 to 7 (my room ) I won 12k
2008- Played an inexperienced Chris Bartrem even one pocket I won 3k ( my room )
2008- Played Joey Barnes even and also getting 9 to 8 I lost 20k ( Dallas )
2008 -Played Joey getting 10 to 8 on his break won 10k ( Dallas )
2008- Played Bryan Jones several times getting10 to 8 very close match.
2008- Played Scott Frost getting 10 to 8 and the hit and pick which I respotted I lost 6k (In Ala)
2008- Played Scott Frost getting 1 hit and the pick he goes to 9 I lost 9k ( DCC )
2008- Played Monster John even one pocket I lost 10k ( DCC )
2009- Played Scott Frost 1 hit and the pick he goes to 9, $300 a game lost $2,100 ( Galveston )
2009- Played Scott Frost 11 to 7 I spot one on his break, I won 6k ( Galveston )

2009- Played a confused Chohan 1 hit and pick, I won 10k ( Galveston )
2009- Played partner game with AB against John Henderson even we won 5k ( Galveston )
2009 Played a young Danny Smith even one pocket $300 even and 10 to 8 on his break Ilost $2,400
In the past three years playing players I have lost $53,000, but there are still people that refer to me as a player who only plays with the nuts. I guess the people that make those unfounded statements are people that really don't know, but are quick to try to impress people that they are among the smarts.
Bill Incardona the nut player still wants to play, Who's next?
JCIN,
I have a suggestion for TAR/DCC/ACTION this year. The only reason I go to the derby is the action, and for me It sucks to not know about the action that is going on and miss it. I think it would be awesome if you set up a twitter page that you and a handful of people "in the know", could update with the action and where its at. Then junkies like me could quickly see on my phone if I am missing action anywhere. I would suggest you, nasty, disco, Fred A and maybe a few more. All of you guys could update the same twitter account, all of us freaks can subscribe and get the action matches/locations ASAP.
Whaddya think???

billy i have played one pocket no more than 3 times since we played.
i will play you even at the dcc you dont need to spot me even though you beat me bad.
Billy why are you not listing the great battles between you and the lugubrious yet dignified Grady Mathews at the Derby?
Is it because the outcome was too small to mention? Because there seemed to be a lot at stake at the time?
Chris, I turned you down in Galveston, what makes you believe that I will accept your offer? I also admire your skills in matching up, you seem to match up well, and fair, so think about it and I will play you with a little handicapp. You should know by now that I like action and will play a fair game. I'm not playing as well today as I was when we played, furthermore when we played it was in my room where I felt very comfortable, I was a confident player at that time, not so much now.I'll take 9 to 8 and play a 5k set. I'm not going to change my mind, I respect your game too much to do that.:sorry:
Regards,
Bill Incardona
I just noticed that TAR does have a twitter page. So I guess I am just suggesting multiple people be able to update the ongoing action durring the Derby.
Great idea. We'll do it.
