I went to England 4 or 5 years ago to try to qualify for what is called the World Championship. It cost me $4,000 and I had no end result of being able to play, like the 150 players for the IPT are.
For anybody who can make a ball this is a tremendous opportunity. My wife and I had already made up our minds before we knew that I was selected, to go to the first event, get on the alternate list, volunteer or whatever we could to qualify.
Without mentioning names, I personally called three great players and told them about this new tour and how to apply. They didn't even bother and now, of course, they're really unhappy.
I applaud Kevin for not kowtowing to Orgs. like the UPA and the WPA.
I'm excited about pool, more so than ever in my life and why wouldn't I be? I won four world titles and the most I ever won was $10,000.
9 Ball has had 40 years and it hasn't done much. This whole project is a breath of fresh air, if you ask me. Good luck to everybody and I'll see you in Orlando.
