Player Roster for Predator World 14.1 Championship

Hello Charlie,

Markus from Eurowest here... Just a nosy question

Why did "Taiwan declined their invites" ???? This reads strange....because of the oppotunity given to excel at on of the best games there is....

Regards,
Markus

Randy G. posted "I spoke personally to alex and marlon, both can't attend (as is the same for some other philipinos) because of an event already commited to in asia."

If there is a big event in Asia at the same time the Taiwan players are probably going to that also. This is just speculation on my part though.
 
How great is it too see a player like Danny Harriman on the list? Or how about Jasmin Oushcan playing with the guys? I can't wait for this thing to start!

Nice field Charlie. Good job!
 
This IS a great field Charlie, and it's clear that it will be a great tournament. In this case, however, you don't have to go all the way out to the West Coast for straight pool players. There's a legendary one, who wants to play, just down the highway in Columbia, SC!

P.S.--Given what I've read regarding the contretemps between the UPA and the player in question, I'm offering ONE $25 bet, to the first established and known poster who takes it, that this invitation will NOT be forthcoming, and I hope to God that I lose!

Rempe announced he is retired as of a year ago.
Taiwan declined their invites. Reyes was not able to attend.

Charlie,
Many thanks for letting us know the aforementioned players status.
Any news on Grady Mathews or Jimmy Fusco?

Totally uncalled for.......

Smorgass Bored said:
Yeah, Charlie. you could make a whole bunch of new fans and spectators if you'd get off you high horse ass and simply invite Mr. Grady Mathews to this event.
Click to expand...

Totally uncalled for. Obviously there is some "beef" between Grady and Charlie, which Grady has made public. This is Charlie Williams' tournament and "he calls the shots."
 
I would leave Grady out....

VIProfessor said:
One more time! C'mon Charlie, whatever has to be done, find a way to invite Nick and Grady to this tournament--please! And don't forget Ray Martin!
Click to expand...

I would leave Grady out. He is not deserving of an invite.!!
 
I inquired to Dragon Promotions on Grady getting an invite, and now I think I understand the story better. Seems Charlie's not the only one who makes the call on invites and his DP staff and two of the sponsors are aware of Grady's comments towards Charlie and the event and they don't want him at the event. Less likely to have an incident.
Apparently also Grady tried to qualify last year and sent in 3 entry fees but later wanted his money back before he even played. He said it wasn't enough money for his time or effort.

So I'm a little confused on why Grady wants to play in it so badly this year.
Maybe its best to just stop going back and forth on this and let bygones be. im sure eventually if Grady calms down he can work his way into an invite.

thanks Jay. get us some straight pool players from the west coast next year

I wish. They don't know how to play 14.1 out here. Verne Peterson and Wayne Norcross were the last good players out West. Richie didn't know how to play, but he could run a 100 occasionally, strictly on shotmaking ability.

John Schmidt is the best I've seen out here in years, and that's because Bob Hunter worked so extensively with him. Dan Louie could play also, but I don't know how interested he is in competing these days.

I never saw Keith play one game of Straights. Kim either. I have a feeling Kim could be competitve if he so desired. He shoots straight and has good pool smarts, but probably lacks the patience for 14.1.

Hey Jay. Remember in the late 60's Diliberto used to have some good 14.1 sessions with a guy by the name of Engineer Bob. A tall thin guy who played great straight pool. It was at Ye Billiard Den. Who was he and what happened to him?
