I just noticed that the latest news on the BilliardsDigest.com home page has a bunch of new stuff on the IPT, taken presumably from interviews with players at the WPC.

Hohmann pointed to repeated inconsistencies and broken promises from the IPT, especially related to the delay in prize payouts from the World Open 8-Ball Championships in early September. “I’m the one who can leave with a smile, but it’s just not right what [Trudeau] has done – all the lies,” Hohmann said.
