Through my involvement with Pool, as a player, a tournament
director at times, a former publisher of a billiards newsletter,
and a concerned Pool citizen, I often wonder how we as a
Pool community can directly and effectively better our sport
as a whole.
Do we just have to work away in our little local Pool cells, or can
we effectively impact the major Pool organizations in our country
to establish, work towards, and measure goals that will TRULY
promote our sport to a better and higher standard and participation.
Sometimes it seems that even if a majority wants something, that
the organizations just keep doing their own thing, much like
a congressman that will vote one way, even if the majority of
his constituents want him to vote the other way.
I want some 'valid' ideas on how we can impact these organizations.
Something that will work, and not just be an exercise in futility.
Let us be the difference that we want to see come about in our sport.
Idealistic? maybe ... but you have to start somewhere, but if we
join together with all of our knowledge and experience, we might
be able to make a difference.
