Is Planet Pool Tour DEAD?

It seems they got Poison as a title sponsor then it died???
I spoke with Mike Ricciardella directly only a few days ago.

PP is not dead, they just don't have any scheduled events for the remainder of the year.

I would expect a resurgence in 2012.

In the meantime, enjoy the Action Pool Tour!
 
Typical Planet Pool tournament announcement thread:

"AZ poster: Do you have any future events planned?

Mr. Mezz Cue: This is a great event.

Another AZ poster: How much are the fees?

Mr. Mezz Cue: This is a great event.

AZ poster 3: Congratulations on getting the Planet Pool Tour started again. Who's signed up so far?

Mr. Mezz Cue: This is a great event.

Another interested poster: What's the food like at the Top Hat Cue Club?

Mr. Mezz Cue: This is a great event.

yet another poster: I checked your web site and it hasn't been updated in a long time. Can you please update the web site?

Mr. Mezz Cue: This is a great event.

concerned poster: We really want this tour to succeed. Please respond with something other than 'this is a great event'.

Mr. Mezz Cue: This is a great event."



Gee, I wonder why it's struggling, if not dead already. I won't get started on the $35 sign-up fee, because I don't want to hear "This is a great event" again. And yes, I was one of those that wanted the tour to succeed.

At least Ozzy is doing a great job with the Action Pool Tour. Thanks Ozzy!

And the Big Daddy's events are great too, so all is not lost in the Maryland/DC/Northern VA area.
 
yea APT is def the go to at this point. And yes Mr. Mezz Cue is prob the absolute worst promoter of all time.

He's actually good at the event. Marketing his product, I might agree with the above!

And I don't thing there is much motivation to bring their events to the DC area, with rooms closing and not having to concern themselves w/ the APT...plus the TD lives 3+ hrs North anyway.
