OHB....I wish you only the best of luck & if you need the help, which I doubt, let me know. I will surely be there live & if they are playing for Large I at least will love the chance to make it largER.
 
Community Magnets has been honest & successful for 15 years.

As far as this innovative match - I see it as just another business venture. And people & players with a financial opinion on the outcome of this match, please hold your horses. An opportunity to support this concept and voice your choice may ari$e. More Later.

Im about the same as the rest i would rather purchase a DVD for $30 for the full 3 days than deal with the problems of internet streaming and such.
 
Door admittion will be $15 (general) & $25 (table side).

Is it free admission? How much is water? :D

There will be adequate and comfortable seating for 250 - 350
FYI - This will not be at The Break. More info to come.

Who's going to Memphis next week? I am.

Ever try to get a tournament entry fee paid in advance...........good luck.
Just 16 yrs of experience talking.

In talking to Jason & paying my entry fee via credit card yesterday, he said "It's offically full".
128 players, all pre-paid. Yesterday was the cut-off for the discount rate of $125. From what I hear - this is going to be an action packed event. What hooked me was when Jason said they will have a BBQ tent in the parking lot and Ice Cold Beer.

I would be all for it, the only thing is, only 8 ahead could be over in maybe 45 minutes ? Maybe 15 ahead, or break it down more, so many ahead at 9 or 10 Ball and then the next night, 8 ahead at 1 pocket...whick I know where 1 pocket is not played. Hey, you set up the show and I will be there....Duker.....
 
LMAO Oldhasbeen make sure you park your CLOSE to the front doors can be a rough area around there last big tourny there i saw a guys cars on BLOCKS in the grass to the leftside of SAMPLES ( AKA The Rack ) Spent almost 1 year in there playing back in the early 90's learning from guys like Danny Cook ,Tony Fargo , James Christpher, Fat Eric, Tony Miller, and so forth used to be GREAT action place .

Anyhow maybe i can get off work and come down and watch new job just put me to working 12 hours a days so gonna be hard to practice enough now.

Jason said the projects that caused the trouble are now gone and there will be 3 security guards on the parking lot. I think it will be OK for me and my 2 partners, Smith & Weston.

undefinedI am starting this poll to get some much needed feedback from all here at AZ. Naturally we are all Pool & Internet savvy so your input is very important to me.
I am setting up a Bar-Box match between David Matlock & Jesse Bowman (both have agreed) to be played 8 ahead for LARGE.
Three separate matches on a Mon, Tues & Wen.

This would be broadcast LIVE via Internet feed and would NOT be recorded for future sales or viewing. Either watch it LIVE with an Internet feed or be here in St. Louis.

The question I need an answer to is:

Would you pay $10 (per set) to watch any or all of these matches?

There would be a discount for a three-day package.

This would be done right (or I won't do it) using the highest quality equipment available.

I intend this to develop into a monthly event showcasing various players & games that will be dictated by market driven demand. There is much more to this (than most can imagine) and I will be forwarding information as it develops.

TY & GL

Ps. Please be serious with any response as this is being done with a considerable investment. I think it can only help Pool, Pool Players & ME.

In for all three day. As long as the pro's out weigh the con's.
 
Why would you rather watch a DVD, when you can watch it LIVE?

This sounds a lot like the worldpool.com 8-ball matches.
Why not tape it and sell dvds? I don't have broadband so I don't know if I could even watch it on the computer I use.

I am thinking that everyone that WANTS to see this will. With enough advance notice, I figure anyone can get it at their computer OR see it at their local poolroom, bar, office or friends.
By not offering a DVD, I am hoping that will enhance the LIVE aspect as the only way to ever see this match. I am convinced that Live Internet is the future for not just pool, but many other under funded sports broadcast.

I think it may be better to use something more similar to the movie industry model.

Have live internet broadcast and package a couple of months later for DVD distribution. It would be a shame for a good match not to be able to be re-watched by a larger audience later.

Give internet viewers a 50% discount on the DVD when it is released.

As long as I feel like it at the time...

As long as my girlfriend doesn't make me an offer I can't refuse...

As long as I'm not in a match myself at the time...

As long as I didn't go busted the night before...

As long as I'm not sleeping because I was out late the night before...

etc etc

Your right, But..............

Nostroke said:
Yeah I would but without costly advertising-probably not more than 100 others will.

Your right - but I am in the Direct Mail Advertising Business and I intend to do quite a bit of marketing with flyers to leagues, poolrooms, pool & sports bars. That is why I have selected these two players first.

That doesen't mean that I'm still not open to any other POSITIVE ideas.

Matlock Vs Bowman

> When you said it will be archived for future viewing,does that mean if I buy the 3 day package,but have to work when it is being played,will I be able to come home that night and watch the full video? If that is the case,I'm in all day long. Tommy D.

If you want even better protection, tape a zippo lighter under the nose of your favorite super soaker. Fill up the super soaker with rubbing alcohol. You now have a homemade flamethrower. Don't forget to announce in public that you will be carrying one. :rolleyes:
 
I would love to watch this match, but with the time differences involved, and the fact that the matches happen on "school nights", I would only be able to make use of a delayed broadcast and/or VHS/DVDs of the matches.

I know that you said initially that they will not be made available, but if they are, please let me know via PM.

Thanks
