I would still prefer a 2 or 3 week long $50,000 or $100,000/man round robin race to 75 or 100. 6 players WU, Shane, Dennis, Chang JL, Shaw and baby KO or Alex. Winner take all

Who's gonna pay for those 6 players to stay at a hotel for 2-3 weeks straight? Unless they're all crashing at a buddy's house.

I like it Jason, but the logistics might be tough.

A round robin is not a good idea.....
...they stopped using this format in the world 9-ball championship for a reason.

Credit to Justin Bergman for his willingness to duke it out with the game's most elite. Should any of these matches occur, I wish him the very best.

I'll play him $50 but he's probably too scared to fly out here to play.

If you're playing for 50 or $100k per man and can't get the backer to get a room - something is wrong

Nobody gives a shit about a televised tournament - you wanna find out who the best is, lock them in a room for 2 or 3 weeks.

Another thing, nobody cares if YOU or anybody else doesnt want to watch that much pool - IT ISN'T ABOUT YOU!!!!

Actually, I could care less who is best, but I want to watch the match. Plus there is more money in exposure than gambling. Pool players generally dont like to acknowledge this however, which is why they usually die broke.

Buffalo Billards in New Orleans area

He can get all the action he wants any night of the week at Buffalo's, Danny Smith, Justin Hall, Josh Roberts, and many locals who bet sky high are there every night, the place never closes so he can hop a plane at will and come on down.

I don't think you caught my drift...when you play round robin, sometimes your fate is in
someone's else's hands.

They're all gonna want a spot.....I would hope. If they would play even, JB would probably crawl there

I think PT109 was referring to major dumpage - which is prevalent in round robin formats - even with other sports

I don't think so.

In a round robin format, there can be a point where someone else's win or loss can affect your placing and not his.

Well except Shane I'll play any American bar table 8 ball or big table 8 ball and they can get 10 games going 100 playing that game... 10 ball on 9ft everyone gets the same 10 going to 100... One pocket I feel that's my worst game and I know I can't beat a few Americans but I'll play them an all around 8 ball, 9 ball, 10 ball, one pocket, and banks. We can through straight pool or another game like 15 ball rotation in there too..

Big table 10 ball or big table 8 ball I'll give American player 10 games going to 100 for $5,000-$30,000 a set. We can play at Griffs in Vegas or if they want I'll pay their flight and hotel to St Louis and we can play at Teachers on a 9ft Diamond just like Derby, US Open, etc. The cloth is about 2 weeks old. That's my offer I'm not giving 15 games or 20 they can get 10 games on wire and win $30,000 but they better hurry before my backer changes his mind.

8 ball bar table
Is it make it take it ?

I didn't see this before. After reading it all I can say is that offer is "Stronger Than Soap!" He is offering any American player (besides Shane) ten games on the wire at Eight Ball or Ten Ball going to 100. This man really is looking to gamble. I'm surprised there are no takers on this offer. Good on you Justin! :thumbup:
