That isn't to say that I'll never play a match against Scott. It just isn't part of this "challenge match". I promise that, if I get responses, and I get ahead at all, I'll be looking to parlay by firing it at whoever (so long as it's reasonable). Anyway, the whole thing, while I'm serious and I'm putting up my own money, is all for fun and just to stir something up around here. Arizona, for the longest time, was a terrible state for pool - at least for the better players. All of a sudden, and Mike Howerton does have a large part in this, pool in Arizona has gotten TONS better here. I just figured I'd ride the wave and try to stir up a little action. While the $1000 sets I'm offering might not sound like much, I had to take into consideration that I may get multiple responses. If I get 5 people who respond, that's $5000 worth of action for a working stiff like me. I don't have expendable "gamble chips" like many players. My money supports a family and pays bills, but I'm willing to throw some of it in the mix for some excitement.
