Rodney announces Bonus Ball's return on FB
- Thread starter CreeDo
- Start date
Are they all insane? Do the BB principals (whoever they are) think that a vague message without specific plans, dates, or payments is going to resurrect this mess?
All we've heard are crickets as it fizzled away. Do they even have a full team left in Vegas? Who's the referree now? Who is running the cameras? Nathan hasn't posted anything in almost a month!
I would think they'd have to have a lot more concrete plans and facts at this point, to have any chance.
Sigh....

This is the best news I've heard all week.:grin:
I cant wait to find out the details. With new management bonusball could be the future of pool.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to the WPBL broadcast! We're happy to resume after our hiatus, but first, let us just go over a few changes. You'll notice we're using a normal set of balls, just like you're used to seeing at a bar or pool hall near you. We felt like this would make the game easier to follow, and show how you can enjoy playing the same as our pros. Also, Lee Bret sold all of our Bonus Balls."
There is so much potential comedy in the resumption of this fiasco, it might need a sub-forum!

Too bad they didn't get their shit together a little quicker (not that anyone's convinced it's together now).
Scott frost was their biggest advocate and one of the more entertaining players to watch.
If BB does return, he might just un-retire.
IMO they're still making a big mistake by letting random people (players, the camera guy, etc.)
make announcements on their behalf. Their return should be announced by a professional PR person
with a specific date and time for the first match, something set in stone.
Then of course that match must actually happen.
Vague posts about "it might start again around january" just reinforce that image they have,
that everything is wishy washy and up in the air and you cannot trust the dates they give.

I'm as skeptical of Bonus Ball as anybody else, but I don't get why everybody is so shocked that the players are willing to roll the dice on this.
If and I know it's a big IF, they get their back pay why wouldn't they give it another chance? What do most of these guys really have to lose?
I think most of the normal guys (and gals) on this site have taken far greater risks than giving BB a shot. Buying a house is much more risky than playing Bonus Ball.
The only reasonable argument for the pros not playing Bonus Ball would be that it could kill off some of the existing professional events. But even with that -- there's only a handful of guys that can make a living playing in these events, so what other reason is there for not playing BB?
I'm not a fan of the game but I don't fault the players for rolling the dice on it....or even rolling the dice twice.

Let's face, the haters are never happy. Information is provided about BB and they flip. No information is provided about BB and they flip.
Support for our industry includes patience, understanding, and appreciation for any and ALL orgs, entities, players, and representatives. Let them do what they have to do. Nathan (no one for that matter) is by no means obligated to keep anyone up to date on their affairs.

In the words of Charles Manson, maybe they're the only sane ones, man! Maybe you're all crazy! YAHSDNSDVNDZBNLZD

Yes
All we've heard are crickets as it fizzled away.
That's a professional marketing sauce recipe pool players aren't smart enough to understand.
Do they even have a full team left in Vegas?
Professional lawn dart players are being recruited.
Who's the referree now?
The SCOREBOARD!!!
Who is running the cameras?
For $800,000 the damned things better run themselves.
Nathan hasn't posted anything in almost a month!
He lurks.

Concrete isn't fluid enough for the EXCITEMENT of bb.

Probably. The only thing that even interests me about it are the 12 year olds singing, "Haters gonna hate" as if it's some great epiphany. If someone tells me I'm too stupid to understand something they're not exactly on my, "I love you" list. This however seems to be beyond the pre-teen's grasp.
trust me if I started a tour it would be run much better then this crap.
