Due to lack of european numbers at the derby mainly because except for me and neils fiejen none of them play one pocket and banks... so expenses high for them..
Was good this year young russian and dutch players made the trip for the experience..
nick van den berg made his first trip and enjoyed it.
Problem for Asia and Europe nobody plays banks or one pocket and lot of them probably don't even know the rules. this why in past years only 6-8 europeans show up and no asians except filipinos but these guys spent half there careers playing pool in states so learnt the games and got a great teacher.
but next year am hoping along with greg sullivan to make sure we get more Europeans and Asians over. I think with Bigfoot 10ball growing and if can make it a 32 man field with all the best Europeans /Asians/and Americans it would be the greatest field ever in one tournament.. with around 30k winner it will be a big carrot for these players to travel for sure. But it must be call shot 10ball official 10ball rules Worldwide Not call safe just call shot..Why in USA the change rules week to week doesn't make sense to me, We need to standardize the rules.. I will be looking to contact people in Europe/Asia to run qualifiers and win spots and get all expenses paid trip.. It be great to get more players over worldwide and learn the american games banks pool and one pocket ,one pocket especially because its a awesome game and improves your pool knowledge no end.
To see large numbers from europe and asia would be a big step forward to the derby and pool in america and i will try to help..
if anybody interested in running qualifiers in Europe and asia let me know by pm.
I already made few contacts in asia and Europe and looking good.
