LS77,
Perhaps not everyone follows the policy to the letter. Or perhaps the policy has some loopholes. Or perhaps the policy is occasionally ignored. Or perhaps the policy is loosely or selectively enforced. In any event, I think several of us witnessed some action in Peoria (lady pro to remain nameless - if you'd been at the tournament where you belonged you'd have seen it too). Maybe SDK didn't ask such a bad question after all.
Huh???Williebetmore said:
Obviously you are confusing the definition of action... I was in Peoria....sorry you missed me....I guarantee you didn't see "action" in the tourney room. Obviously you need to learn the policies the WPBA has in reference to gambling. There will be no action when the WPBA has a tourney. At least not with a WPBA player involved.landshark77 said:Huh???
LS77,
The action was at the local pool hall, not in the tournament or practice rooms. I thought though, that "action" in the hosting town was prohibited (not just on site); and that what we saw was definitely gambling at pool by one of the visiting WPBA players. Can anyone clarify - I certainly don't have a copy of the by-laws???
P.S. - If you were in Peoria, how did you miss all of the fun stuff (pool with JB & SJM, lunch with SR and the motley crew of AZB'ers)?? Don't you know how to enjoy yourself? (and don't give us any lame excuses about your delicate condition)
P.P.S. - If it is gambling in the host town that is prohibited, then perhaps it is one of the competitors that needs to learn the policies, not me.

Well...I'll tell you...the WPBA players are prevented from gambling after the players meeting until the end of the tourney. A fine is imposed for those caught voilating the policy....I am not sure if there is a suspension, nor am I aware of the amount of the fine. Thus, IF a player IS catching some action I am sure she doesn't want it posted on the internet for the world to see...thus (read between the lines here), there is no action at WPBA tourneys....it is against policy.

I was there..we made eye contact. Due to other obligations I got there late. And some more obligations prevented me from staying more than a day. This was not a vacation for me...I saw the people I needed to see. I was gone by the time the lunch took place....again..sorry you missed me.

True. I just made a statement based on SDKid's question....you jumped my gun.

Most of serious pool players know who among the WPBA the money players are. I do not think they dare to break the rules.Hee,hee,hee
several years ago infamous thing happened at the venue Hotel in downtown Dallas when WPBA event was held.
U now have only one female road player but she does not break the WPBA rules.
The TWO all time GREATEST FEMALE ROAD PLAYERS have retired from WPBA eventhough one of them is not even 30 years old.
I dont mean the girls are playing or gambling. and people are right, that if u are on the pro tour you cant gamble. Any way, I heard there are some action going on dont know who is playing.
