Today we competed in the Money Cup for our 9-ball team. Twenty teams who all finished in the top 3 of their respective divisions. I asked 54 people the following questions:
"In pool what do the letters WPBA stand for?:
Know: 24 Don't know: 30
"Name five players in the WPBA:
Could name: 21 Could not: 33
I find it completely amazing that pool players do not even know what the letters WPBA stand for. And Allison Fisher is a representative for the APA.
When it came to naming WPBA players Allison Fisher, Karen Corr and Jeanette Lee were most often named. Unfortunately those are the three who appear on TV the most.
So if the results are this bad among pool players I wonder how bad it would be among the non pool playing public.
Seems to me that the pros need to start on a PR campaign.
