Need some pool facts, please.

I am working on a large project that just might benefit the pool world. I need all of the numbers and facts about pool in America. Average marketing information. Ages, incomes, number of players, how often. You get the drift. Help a brotha out. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried contacting marketing departments at our various trade or league associations?

I've done some basics. I was hoping to get a link or two from our compadres on here. Thanks.

Find the Sporting Goods Manufacturer's Association study. SGMA. They are the ones where everyone gets the "44 Million People Play Pool" stats from.

I think if you buy the study you can expect to spend a couple hundred. The BCA used to provide access to the billiard numbers from it if you are a BCA member.

I'd at least start with the BCA and try to get whatever you can out of them.
