Now that the US has been designated the official place to become an unsanctioned pool player for Asian players.

Is now the time to make the case for the benefits of having both systems?

Gambling on pool in America, its considered good business all the middle management is cut out, no over head.

However Asian federations dislike money flowing directly to their players without being processed through official channels. Teaching a young player something like that can be considered a trap or bait outside of the US.

Sanctioned play is great for women, the WPBA pros have become a global organization leading women where there were no stories of women in success, in sports or away from the role of wife or daughter.

Sanctioned play is great to spread the values of women in places that have needed it for civilizations.

Its like there are some wealthy people that want to check out gambling in the US, I suggest making friends at the Mosconi Cup. Most of the major billiard rooms will be in attendance.

I hope black balled finds a way to discredit me fast and quick. Stage 2 of this discussion means everyone is going to have their cake.

I think there place for both matchups and tournament pool, though I never saw the official declaration though.

That sounds made up.

Suppose pool robots existed, this way a player doesn't technically have to be in the room for the match.

How would gambling rules be impacted by such a proposal?

For a science analogy, its comparing lumens to watts, both are used to describe bulbs however one is more outdated than the other.

The only way to beat them, is to stay ahead of them with technology.

Who can say that legally for federation language? Exhibition events by players for Heyball have to be allowed in USA. ACBS has to allow players for exhibitions, propose it at next meeting.

I see the max number of posts in a row where you can have a coherent back and forth discussion on a single topic is still "1".

A sanctioned player from the ACBS that has been banned, if player performs educational or exhibitions in US, does that count as a penalty. It is not tournament play, imagine they were invited to a Chinese school (senior center) to talk Heyball or pool. Is this allowed? Or will the WPA find out about the "coaching fees" and try to cash in on it?

A sanctioned player from ACBS that has not been banned, what if that player forms a training group in USA, decides that competition and training is better in USA. Will ACBS deny them that right if they are paying for it out of their own pocket? The player will not compete in tournaments, the player will only perform exhibitions or education.

Asia is good at overwhelming systems. Its time to overwhelm ACBS with more choices then they can be ready for, its brute attack.

What if a retired sanctioned player wanted to speak out against the ACBS, will their organization retaliate indirectly or directly? Its popular in Asian culture to cause economic stress to a person, the bans are a clear example. What else can they ban players from?

The world needs to stand up to countries looking the other way at the slaughter of Water Buffalo to use their hides for pool cue tips.
