The new room in Dallas I posted about a couple of months ago is coming along nicely and should be open by at least May 1st.
Greg Sullivan of Diamond Tables delivered the tables personally this past weekend to over see the set up himself. There are tree tables which are IPT cut which means 4 1/2 inch pockets with Simonis and they play just great. They are tight, but not ridiculously so and have a very nice speed and not real slick. There are also 5 other 9 footers with about 4 3/4 inch pockets {guessing as I didn't measure those which play the same. Near perfectly, as they can.
Diamonds is located at 10601 New Chrch Road which is just one block off I-635 and Plano road in North Dallas. It is very easy to find. Just take 635 to Plano rd, turn west, to the first light and turn right and it's the 3rd building on the right.
We plan a Grand Opeining event somwhere around June after the BCA event in Vegas. We plan to begin with a Thursday ring game with a buy-in of about $1500. Someone should be able to win about $20000.
Friday -Sunday of the same weekend we plan a 1-pocket event with at least $4000 added and an entry of about $250. Many matches and finals will be available via the internet with many more details forthcoming next week.
The rumor is true, no smoking and no booze. It will however be a BYOB place.
The other rumor is also true, yes we are going to cater to action and big matches which will be available via the the internet. We want to bring big pool to the living room and we are going to offer the players the place and atmosphere to do it. They are going to love playing at Diamonds.
We will have a much more detailed report coming in about a week to 10 days.
Be watching though as this is going to be exciting.
We already have our 1st challenge match which I will post about in another thread.
Watch for the web-ssite soon also, pool_action.com.
