I'm trying to generate interest in pool in my area and I'm looking for ideas...
The pool scene is almost nonexistent here in Kingman AZ...We have a BCA league on Tuesday nights and a charity league on Friday nights...The leagues are small, we only have 12 teams for BCA and only 10 teams for the charity league (most of the teams from the BCA league also have a charity league team)...There is no pool hall here for the youth to get into the game and there are only a handful of bars in the area that have pool tables...I have taken over a small tournament that used to be held every other Thursday and I'm running it every week now. We usually get 7 or 8 players but I would like to grow that number. I have made flyers and passed them around but that seems like it was a waste of my money, I have put up craigslist adds for the tourney...I have tried to get the bar to add some cash to the pot to help make it more enticing for players, but they say we (the pool players) aren't spending enough to make it worth adding any cash...
Anyone have ideas that might help me bring a few pool players out to play?...
