Only 17 Players at The New York State 10-Ball Championship???
- Thread starter shoreboy
- Start date
Hmmm no wonder the final was on just now so just 1 day instead of 2 days finish
Earl lost to Mike Dechaine after missing the 10 down the rail in 3rd last rack. Earl was nuts to propose playing one set of race to 9 instead of double set double elimination. Mike would have to win 2 sets if they had played double set

No difference really. Mike always beats Earl. At the New England Hall of Fame match, Mike won 21-11 and last week at the Raxx Joss tour event, Mike won 9-3. Set length or tourney format never makes any difference. Earl very rarely beats Mike, and that won't change anytime soon.
Amateurs are getting smarter. Before they throw in there entry fee they find out who is playing in the tournament and asking themselves, "Do I really have a chance to cash if I play my best game?" Earl, Mike D, Shaw, and a few shortstops in a small field is a waste of a weekend for them IMO. If you want to play pros or shortstops and you're a "C" or "B" player, go to one of the local action rooms and get a spot from one or more of them for cheap sets. You will learn quicker. JT
What New York State 10 Ball Championship? I've lived in New York State for sixty nine years. Never heard or seen a flyer or post about this event. Then again, Greater New York City is its own world. Who cares about the fifty percent who live above the Tappan Zee bridge

I agree, Lyn. I saw a poster somewhere a few weeks ago, but who's on first and who's on second? How many players? What's the payouts? Who's left in the tournament?
I've run many tournaments in the past: local, regional, and national. One of the first things I did was spread the news. I managed to get one of my tournaments a spot on local television, PM Magazine. I had Chet Morris there doing trick shows for the TV public, because that's what they think pool is, but I spread the news.
In this age of social media and the Internet, there is no excuse for a tournament promoter/director not have the means to get the message out there about the event.
I guess we'll never know what happened at the NY State 10-Ball Championship. :scratchhead:
If they don't care, then neither do I.
I was looking forward to a weekendof the tournament and was, as well, disappointed in no only the turnout, (2 called in sick, zion and Jeremy) but the event being 1 day only. guess I will go this afternoon to the 8 ball match locally for $$$. my other disappointment was earl losing to mike AGAIN this week. that is 2 weekends in a row! 
so having his girlfriend there last night did not help and may not have helped when he got back home with her either.
al, and possibly right in saying, that there are too many tournaments in the same weekend and therefore not enough going to just one venue. probably partially true. why the tournament directors do not coordinate better defies logic.......

Earl's got a new girlfriend? :grin-loving:
Pictures, please.

I had this conversation with Jose Burgas and Mike Riccadella . (Sorry if spelled wrong) when he took over planet pool about the lack of advertising for their events ,, they told me that they send emails out to all their players and that should suffice ,,
I stopped bothering them about it as I find in most cases these Tour owners don't take advise very well ,, I was at 2 events that I don't even think they had 16
I would Haney thought at least with NYC grind involved it would a least got the word out better ,, apparently not ,,
I like Jose I try to play in some of his events when he gets closer to home, just wish he got more players in ,,

And that's sad. If amateurs really want to advance their game, they have to go up against the best in their local area; and they have plenty of opportunities to do exactly that in NYC with these pros. They don't have to win, but they can learn PLENTY by keeping their eyes wide open and feeling the experience.
Probably cost more in tolls than they won....
Hard to say why the low turn out... especially for something in the tri-state.

There you go ! I guess neither person running these talked to the other.
Vivian is presenting a big tournament in southern Texas this coming weekend
I just found out about the tournament.....a little too late. Vivian is presenting a big tournament in southern Texas this coming weekend if anyone's interested....it's $10,000 added and hosted at a super nice venue.

It's pretty much the same pool of players Johnny. The two rooms are only 51 driving miles apart with NYC in between but closer to Castle by 20 miles.
Oh, I thought it was close to 100. I'm a Long Island boy too. JT
