Here is a list of players who have I have spoken with or have made it known to one of our friends or associates (Spider Webb is an official TAR Associate

) that have mentioned an interest in playing a TAR challenge match. In no particular order and no particular pairing:
Allen Hopkins
Cliff Joyner
Jason Kirkwood
John Schmidt (obviously

)
Scott Frost
Alex Pagulayan
Mika Immonen
Darren Appleton
Karl Boyes
Mike Dechain
Jason Klatt
Shane (probably late this year / early next year)
Tony Chohan
All these guys want to to do something it is just a matter of what, with whom, and when. The devil truly is in the details with these things and scheduling is a b!tch especially with the players from overseas.
We would love to do some things with the pinoys, the problem is we have no real point of contact for these guys and their schedule is crazy. We would have to piggy back off of an event in the states that they are already here for so maybe we can swing something big for the Open or the Derby later this year.
I see Nevel's name come up over and over and we are open to setting something up with him. The thing is neither Chad or I have met Larry and do not really know someone that is tight with him to open a dialog. If Larry is interested in a TAR match up and you know him please ask him to get in contact with us or get me or Chad his contact information and we will go from there. The same goes for the pinoy players, if you know them and they are interested let us know.
Our next for sure event is the 2nd Annual $3000 entry 10 Ball Bar Table Ring Game Tournament at Shooters in Olathe. This will be our 1 year anniversary as a company. We basically started at this event last year and cant wait to get back to Shooters and do it again. For those who watched this last year you know how awesome it is to see all of the players in action all of the time. It is great event. We are working on the final dates with Dan Tull now and are looking at probably the first or second weekend in August.
We appreciate all the interest in the future match ups and and will keep all of your suggestions in mind.
Just to tease you 14.1 fans out there, there has been some talk of possibly a Schmidt vs Hopkins 14.1 race to 1000 for $5K or something along those lines. Allen is interested and so are we and I know John will play any living human at that game. It is in the extremely early stages and may or may not happen but....it just might.
We have so much video that needs to processed and put out on DVD that I doubt we will do much of anything for June or July except get the stuff we already have out. Here is a partial list of upcoming DVD's
Alex vs Shane Action Challenge 3
Morra vs Bergman Young Guns Challenge
Schmidt vs Harriman Action All Around 2
Monica vs Sarah Ladies All Around from the Derby
5 or 6 matches from the US Bar Table Championships in Reno
The final 2 sets of Alex vs Shane at the Derby
A ton of cool stuff I cant even remember from Qlympics/Derby/Reno plus I am sure I have forgotten some things.
Basically we need to catch up on what we have in the can already and work on putting some really exciting things together for later this year. But.....if the phone rings and the stars and backers align....it could be on with very short notice.
