Sonny Liston deserves an honorable mention on a list like that. One of the more colorful characters to come out of St Louis.

Dishonorable, don'tcha mean? :)

And it's "toe" the line, for the OP of that... :P

LOL...you have a point there.

I know if I was the dude running this thing, everytime someone in the money got knocked out I would have a check printed and in his hand instantly. No need to wait on Fed Ex or the home office. :p

The backlash from the IPT will make sure everyone and their brother is on the lookout for suspect money handling. Not a bad thing I guess.

When I first heard about this new event, my very first thought was who's behind the scenes KT?????

good people? bad people??

If you go back 20 years there may not be two on that list that would pass ANY of those standards. In fact I would argue a couple might flunk some right now and I wouldnt consider them 'bad'. If you get a job assisting ST Peter, I hope it's well after I am dead!!

Just goes to show ya, your pissing your life away, Merry Christmas, with that bad joke I can now hear your 'most' wonderful laugh, I truly mean that, miss ya Ya old fart.
 
The first thing they need to do is shorten the name of the tour. nacpdbguah is too long. They also need to disclose their finances or give players an advance to demonstrate there ability to pay.

Is there any advertising deals? Is there any tv contract? All of it sounds fishy to me.:confused:

Marcus,

Why does it sound "fishy" ??? Tim has his cell phone number posted on the website. You can call him personally and he will answer your questions to best of his ability, but I doubt he will give you any information that he wishes to remain private - he has that right - for now we have to resepct that and wait for the announcements.

Rumors? I haven't heard any really. I do know that there is a "Splash" event (date & location to be determined) - this is on their website, only a few days before the big announcement.

From what I have discovered in my research, this is NOT a poorly financed operation. This is going to be very well financed and very well organized, and very original in the way that it is marketed to the public, and the existing fan base for our game.

Prior to speaking out publicly about the IPT back in 2005, I did a lot of research on the tour and who was behind it. I have done the same thing with this tour, and I like what I see. The NACPBA understand what the game of pool is lacking, and they are willing to take steps to fill those voids in an attempt to bring dignity to the game, the players, and our industry. I think this is going to be an exciting time for our game.

Well, that paragraph says a whole lot to me about this, especially given who the author is. It also tells me we have something to look forward to.

You keep talking like that and you're going to have to drop the subtitle "Prophet of Doom"!

Nice positive post, Blackjack. For the sake of pool, I'm hoping you're right.

It will be okay. I only work the day shift.

I like Blackjack's positive response, but I've also heard some news that is not so positive. Like the IPT (who I dearly wanted to succeed initially), I will take a "wait and see" approach to this new organization. The jury is still out on them.
 
It's quite silly to judge these guys before they've done ANYTHING yet... :D

Give them a chance to screw up first!

Received a call from Tim Dennis concerning the table order for the new tour. Was told that there was going to be some restructuring and the order is on hold. I asked for an email that I could post explaining the new direction for the tour in his words rather than mine. I will post the email as soon as I get it.
No need for me to say more at this time. I need to gather my thoughts and efforts towards something I have some sort of control. The Derby City Classic! The truth be known, I'm not sure how much control I actually have, the DCC seems to be getting a life of it's own. ha! Greg/Diamond



update: received this email today Dec. 31, 2007
Greg,

After all the research and valuable input we recieved from multiple
people in Las Vegas. We feel that we need to take a little more time to
evaluate, and restructure the tour. As we have stated many times we want
the input and frankly, greatly appreciate all the input. With everything
involved with the magnitude of the project we have undertaken we feel
that we need to take this extra time to make sure we do everything
correctly. After we decided to do this we felt that placing that order
for the tables right now would be pre-mature.

Hope your holidays were great, and I hope the Derby City Classic is
another awesome event for you.

Tim Dennis

I received another email from someone wondering if I should be posting the NCAPBA's business on the net so I think I should tell everyone that I got their approval before I ever posted on AZ.....Greg

This was posted by Greg on 12-31-07 with no current update on any table order that was supposed to be paid for months ago. When they have this Splash event, are there going to be pool tables involved?

From that post, I take that as the order being on hold, not cancelled. It does not state that it was put on hold due to a lack of funds, it just states that the order was bit premature, and they are holding off on it until they are ready.

It's my guess that they will have tables at their events, and that they will also have checks. Myself, I am pleasantly surprised to see that they are making sure that they have everything in place before starting this tour.
