It’s only a few weeks out and while it’s not what it used to be at the old spot (we didn’t know how good we had it) but I’ll be going to buy and watch. I’m not playing. I can’t go for the whole weekend 1) we are going to Vegas to play in masters for the apa at the end of the month (the wife is thrilled about that 😅 not.) and honestly the tournament being single elimination while also be loaded with semi pro players doesn’t interest me much so I’ll save my money lol if your going for the whole weekend you might as well play since it includes your daily entrance but to me $125 single elimination tournament doesn’t interest me if I‘m hanging around all weekend. I can play in the seniors now so I did consider playing in that before I qualified for Vegas. I’m just looking forward to seeing all the people. Looks like now that it’s a matchroom event the turnout is going to be better for that. It was getting pretty bad for a few years now. With matchroom payouts getting better a tournament like the expo that you have to break into the top 16 just to pay for your hotel wasn’t worth it to the big names like it used to be. same problem turning stone seems to be having. The pro’s just don’t need it anymore.
Not much on my list to buy this year. I picked up a predator p3 real cheap that needs a rewrap And an extra shaft that needs a new tip. I had to put a new tip on my bk rush. I put it on my fine but after doing it realized I have nothing to trim down phenolic tips. I have nothing that can cut through that sucker lol so it works great but looks like shit 😂 my wife is buying me the matching diamond table cover since she never knows what to buy me for my birthday lol I’m sure I’ll buy some stupid stuff like a new predator hat and maybe a matchroom shirt. It’s pool heaven and I get excited every year. when I used to go for the whole weekend it was the only time I would tell my wife to stay home and not come until the weekend. All I want to do is watch pool and eat shitty food and I don’t want to feel like I have to keep you entertained because your going to be bored like most normal people would be 😂

Soooooo who’s going? who’s playing? any big purchases planned? anyone buying a diamond when they are there. they aren’t cheap like they used to be that’s for sure…
 
I will be there playing in the warmup and open. Maybe some minis if they run them this year (last year was a let down on this front) and spend some time in the action room.

Always looking to add cues and have a couple big cues I’m looking to move.

if anyone is in the market for a szam hoppe or big Hercek, hit me up.

should be a fun time!

The warm up is the best deal honestly.
 
Cool vintage-looking poster. :)

I haven’t researched yet. If there’s a 3 cushion event and mini tourneys I’ll attend and play.
I’ll be the best dressed and smell like fish.
Very easy to find me.

To my knowledge there isn't a 3 cushion event. there are mini pool tourneys but not mini 3C tourneys.

I don’t remember them having 3 cushions at the expo since back when it was at the valley forge convention center. They had a conference room away from everyone with a couple billiards tables. If I remember correctly mr. Cue either won it or finished in the finals one year. I would stop in and watch for a bit. While the game doesn’t interest me to play watching the reverence they treat the game with compared to the craziness of 9 ball down stairs was interesting

I was there at that Expo. The ambiance of the pool room was monster tee shirts and beer while the 3C room was bowties and mimosas.

Carom Sports is usually the only one with a carom table. Talk to Ira Lee, if there is enough interest he'll run a mini for 3C.

Ira is going to have a booth there?

I think the first 3-C event at the SBE was in 2011. It was organized and promoted by Paul Frankel, AKA Professor Q-Ball:

Professor-Q-Ball Promotions is proud to announce Champion of Champions [SBE 2011]​

The last year appears to have been 2018 from this post. I don't know if the run was continuous....

No caroms at SBE ?

This saddens me

You know what I stand corrected! For years molinari sets up 2 carom tables at their booth. I’m not sure if they have a tournament or anything but they definitely have been at the new location. I don’t know why it completely slipped my mind.
