Quebec unrepresented at 2012 Canadian Cuesports

While I agree that there are significant expenses to an event like this, I would love to see exactly what comes in and what goes out for this event paired with the financial statements for the CBSA. I find it hard to believe that the organization doesn't receive a decent amount of compensation as a non-profit sport association through grants and other programs.

If they want respect, being transparent about the ins and outs of the CBSA is a good starting point.

well said
seems to be alot of hits on the thread since u posted, but no response.

With the Harper government I doubt there's any funding.

Government funding has a down-side....
...they frown on cash payouts.

The OBSA , in the 80s, had this problem....
...it actually decreased the entries.

Sponsorship is what we need, from outside the billiard field.
Dufferin was great over the years...but how much could they handle?

Money comes out of this event to cover cost. I don't think any event, rather than a local event, could be 100% entry paid. Sponsors are very difficult. How do you sell 30 players to a sponsor? Our best option would be some sort of kickback for room rentals or maybe casino, but then you have to pay for tables and venue.

I would love to see someone post a model of how to make the Canadians better. Show the figures, expected sponsors and amounts etc. If you can't find the time for a business model, you damn sure won't have time to run a pool event. Plus, once you see the model, you won't want to.

The events we do get to play, thank the TD and organizer, because they're not in it for money.

Great post Jason.

I may make a post later today. Hopefully everyone can have a look and give some input.

I agree with Supergreenman.
