Official Call-Out from the Director

As the director of this years Drivermaker Memorial Holiday Tournament (and woof-fest), it is my pleasure to officially open the tournament today. I was going to go into a long screed (as I did last year) questioning the integrity, fortitude, and gender designations of all the forum members who were TOO SCARED to participate; but I think Breakup did a much better job, so here is his take on participation in the tournament"

In the defense of the nearly 2900 members that did not participate in the Drivermaker Holiday Invitational last year,it was understandable. It was an undertaking that required at the minimum …guts, backbone, heart and cajones to participate. As we all know this planet is infested with gutless wonders that are powerless to step up and walk the talk, that all too common condition becomes painfully apparent when a defining moment presents itself. The Drivermaker Holiday Invitational is such a moment. For those of you that did not participate last season, you have lived with the shame, hopefully the offending condition that prevented participation last year has cleared up and redemption is near …all that needs to be done is step up and rumble with the AZ elite in The Drivermaker Holiday Invitational. For those of you that did not get that much needed spine transplant or the cahone donor failed to came through and you don’t play again this year it’s understandable …the world is full of spineless, gutless, no heart blowhards. You won’t be in good company but there will be lots of it.
For those of you that have what it takes to answer the bell.

Let’s get ready to RUMBLE!!!



Remember there is a prize for the winner from Drivermaker himself (though he may not exactly be aware of this yet).

First prize = $50,000 cash, 2005 Corvette convertible, and all-expense paid trip to Bermuda.

Would you believe $10,000, a Volkswagen beetle, and bus fare to Atlanta??

Would you believe a free postage stamp, a Hot wheels Corvette, and directions to the bus station??


That is all, now good luck to the participants, who, by virtue of their participation ensure their inclusion in the pantheon of pool fanatics with courage, fortitude, and love for the game. To all the gutless wonders who are not participating - GET YOUR ASS OFF THIS SUB-FORUM; come back after your spine transplant.

P.S. - Remember that participation in this tournament is NOT optional. All AZB members are absolutely REQUIRED to participate (unless of course they want to be lumped into the official Breakup "gutless wonder" category). We ABSOLUTELY DO NOT want to hear about wife, job, kids, incarceration, exile, amputation, major neurosurgical procedure, car accident, or your dog pissing on your table. When you attempt these kinds of excuses, all we hear is, "Blah, blah, blah, I'm a loser." Realize we WILL ALL ASSUME THE WORST about anyone failing to participate. Just a fact Jack.

Thanks Willie:;)

This sub forum is the tall grass where the big dogs run. This is a place without the smoke and mirrors of the main forum; this is where the players with game will be posting objective FACTS. I’m sure there will be some voyeurism by the gutless masses but all they can do is look in the window, the benefit won’t come to anyone without participation.

I once again look forward to measuring myself against the elite members of AZ and setting a personal benchmark for future reference. The only mirror here is one for self reflection. The prize is one of personal achievement.

Willie has thrown the gauntlet, it remains to be seen how many big dogs answer the challenge.

No invertebrates allowed.

I don't believe I'm nearly as eloquent as you guys, so I'll put it this way...

GAME ON!

There certainly seems to be alot of gutless players on this board, they talk all kinds of sh*t and as soon as the opportunity arises to show their skills their nowhere to be found, I knew they were full of crap from day one... this just proves it.

williebarkmore will shame more into posting scores. I'm hoping that many regulars will post scores.

BTW sniper my friend, I have taken aim at the mark you set last year, 1312. I was on track to post about 1200 but ran out of time, this year will be different ! I hope you're on your game ;)

Your on! I was actually looking for my score from last year but couldn't find it but I guess I know now, I think somebody provided a link to the results from last year but I couldn't get it to work. My personal goal is to score higher than last year which I think is reasonable, my table is in slightly worse condition than it was last year but I've practiced more lately and played more tournaments so hopefully my hard work will pay off.

If this applies every year, then I can't play!

LOL

AlterEgo,
We were speaking figuratively not literally. There will be no DNA testing, urine screens, or physical exams administered (though we've certainly had volunteers for the latter in case Marissa enters). Gender designations will be given out based on participation and character, rather than on actual chromosomal make-up. That is all.

P.S. - we are very hopeful that ALL true fans and players will compete - regardless of packaging issues.

Wait - he's not using his gender designation...his character...his chromosomes...

or all three!? :eek: :D

Did I miss something, or was "memorial" a tongue in cheek reference to his recent banishment?

I had thought so, and would have sworn so after reading this (posted last week on another thread re: the rules):

No, you cannot.

ugh.....

Go back & tell them per DM who was told per Allen Hopkins that you CANNOT combo the last 5 balls



I assumed wherever he is, he's using all his various faculties. No?

AlterEgo,
I think that I, along with most, realize that only death could keep D'maker from expressing his opinions and correcting the mis-guided opinions of others here on the forum. We feel that sightings of the D-man fall into the same realm as Elvis sightings. We are very sad; but face it, he is expired, deceased, no longer existing, demised - in short an ex-Drivermaker. But he lives on in our memory every year in his Memorial Tournament.

All THREE???!!!???...I thought you guys were talking about his cajones, which, last time I checked were normally just two.
