I Did The Math... Long Article

"So why do you keep running tournaments if they are not profitable? And where does the profit come from? If there is any? The only way I can see for it to be profitable is if it was attractive to spectators. But unfortunately, most players don't know how to attract spectators." By Jake

We have kept it running events to "TRY" and make a business from it. I gotta tell you the last event really did me in, but I imagine that is what those certian people wanted to do. From the beginning, we have wanted to bring the players fun and affordable events. I hope that we will be able to continue.

Eydie,

One thing I did find out about the general class of people involved in playing pool - they sure do know how to complain. Nothing is ever right, and it is always something or someone else's fault. Never the monkey in the mirror. And some of the biggest complainers don't have a pot to piss in. No car, no clothes, no money, and they are going to tell others how to run a business. They have no idea what bottom line means and that parenthesis are not good in a balance sheet. Their biggest claim to fame is how much they lost gambling - duh?
