The HOF'S that built the road are all gone!

...but thank them for laying the foundation, the current HOFers for extending this road and the upcoming for maintaining and imrpoving it.

Do not underestimate HOFers( `Winnebago warriors`)

but that wouldn't have kept many of them from being chopped up and embarrassed by relative unknowns in the early going.

I do not anticipate that.The game of 8 ball needs only BUNTING the cue.I do not think that the `Winnebago warriors`` will loose the ability to BUNT the cue inspite they are old.I will not be surprised if these ` Winnebago Warriors` give some lessons to some younger players.
Go winnebago warrior,go....

Even if the HOF members do not win a single rack, they are guaranteed more prize money than the first round losers who just miss the cut. That is ridiculously unfair.

How so? These guys were out being professional pool players, paving the way for what the game has become, when most of today's player were in diapers.

When someone asks who is the greatest nine-ball player ever, do they say Thorsten Hohmann, Alex or Wu? No, they say, Efren Reyes, Buddy Hall, Mike Sigel.

This is a private tournament, put on by a promoter. He can make the rules however he wants to make them. To declare that the virtue of being recognized by your peers, fans, and industry as among the best ever is worthy of being seeded and getting more money is a incredibly noble thing to do as well as a triple smart marketing move.

Not only do I think it is fair I think it is about time.
