I played in a tournament for years that every week had Kenny McCoy Danny Tater and usually some road player, Tony Mouget played in it a lot Dee Adkins as a kid, I also played the Airway tournament with Gary Spaeth Jason Miller Frank Ruby Steve Cook , Joe Brown Then Ryan Stone Alex Olinger Billy Thorpe . There was no Handicap. I was happy to get the game time against them for 10 dollars. No matter who is in the tournament , there will be complainers, tell them you run the tournament and you decide who plays. You hope they understand , but if they don't , they are not forced to play. 90% of them will shut up , the one that doesn't, wasn't a good customer to begin with.
I won that first tournament one week and I had to play Dee adkins Tony Mouget Kenny MC Coy and 5 or 6 other pretty fine players, I played Danny Tater in the finals and I went through undefeated so he had to beat me twice . He won the first match and was up 4 games to 0 in the final and I played some of the best pool of my life. I think I only missed 1 ball from there. I will never forget that feeling.
People who do not challenge themselves ,never really live.
Think about what 10 dollars really is , will you sell your opportunities for satisfaction , for a 10 dollar bill? Lots of people do. I have watched them , and at the end of their life they say "I never had a chance in life"
