Dragon Promotions is pleased to announce the first 2 weeks ratings run of the MBCESPN Korea vs. Japan Ultimate Pool Challenge a huge success.

The first one hour run of the 6 part series aired and re-aired 6 times the first week. It broke all records of previous pool show ratings. It even surpassed Korea's #2 sport baseball in TV ratings that week. The average pool show on Korea TV comes from other Asian countries or the USA and Europe. Dragon Promotions produced this international event in Korea and more than doubled the ratings average of the other events prior. The highest ratings event prior was Ga Young Kim’s win at the US Open. Tthe first hour of Korea vs. Japan shattered that record with a 40% increase in viewership.

The 2nd episode of Korea vs. Japan maintained its dominance on air with a repeat of the same ratings number. It re-aired 4 times that week. It was pitted against a professional carom event (which carom has traditionally gotten higher ratings than pool in Korea) and the Ultimate Pool Challenge garnered a 200% higher rating than carom.

The 3rd-6th episodes of Korea vs. Japan will continue in the next 4 weeks on MBCESPN Korea's #1 network.

The next Dragon Promotions production of the Brunswick Korea Pro Pool Tour event begins July 12-15, 2005.

This is surely good news for our sport. Koreans understand a lot about cue sports, and their growing taste for pool comes as no surprise. Three cheers for Dragon Promotions for helping to grow our sport on the world stage.
 
Hi Charlie, do you have any info on the qualifying event for this tournament. You mentioned something about it when I met you at the splash bar in Vegas. I was with my mate Dave Reljic from Australia. I would like to play in this event after the WPC of possible.

Cheers
 
I have the answer to making pool huge in America!

Mass genocide of everyone there followed by repopulation of the place with 300,000,000 or so Asians!
 
Brunswick

So why is it Charlie that Brunswick will create the sport in another country other than the one that it was founded in? The world thinks of America as the foundation of the game yet Brunswick goes elsewhere, we have so much history here. Guess the incredible BCA image campagin that supports their members doesn't really get the point across. Didn't the head of Brunswick Billiards go to Bowling? Wonder why?

Has Charlie given you your free Predator yet? You are probably the best Australian 9-ball player now with your recent success.
