Thsi is my opinion on this subject. And you have it right when you say i don't like KT and any of his games.
but to bash anybody or everybody before anybody really knows what is going on is just wasting alot of time and effort that we could/should put into making pool better in our own little area of the pool world. If we can accomplish that then we can improve pool itself. Does pool need the big money to become legitimate. I don't think so. What we need are more people like Mr Randy Goldwater, that can afford to do it, who loves the game enough to step up and get something going. everybody on here must know someone who could help them get a small (maybe $5,000) tournament off the ground in their area.
Here in Albany NY the local room owner went out and sold banner space (2'x4' space) to alot of the local business's for only $250.00 per banner. and then you get a banner company to sponsor you by making up the banners cheap. In larger cities you could get $400.00 or more for a banner that size. And remember, it hangs in the local room for a year. And it is a business tax deduction as advertising. So rather than bash the IPT, KT, MS or Deno Andrews or anybody else lets everybody just step up to the plate and get something going in your own area to keep the players busy while this thing shakes out. remember. it only takes maybe 10-12 customers to sign up to get the ball rolling.
And i don't blame Deno for not answering. He cannot do it without getting dragged into other parts of the board. And to talk with people who have nothing to do with the IPT other than being a spectator would be fruitless. Just fuel more speculation. So it is better for Deno to keep his mouth shut and just let the IPT brass handle everything. thats what i would do. so everybody jump on the band wagon and lets keep the players busy for awhile.............................mike
