Until Don Maggot came along!
SVB withdraws from future WPA events
- Thread starter kling&allen
- Start date
I'm 100% behind the players here! Continued similar actions/bans by the WPA will only lead to them further distancing themselves from the professional pool world. Someone might say they are shooting themselves in the foot - repeatedly! By forcing players to take sides only strengthens MR's postion in the Pro Pool world. But don't anyone tell them, okay.
A Joker's dream if i ever did see one.
WTF??????????????????? Who gives a rodent's behind about your league team??? You said you rarely post. Why now and why this??????
Jane wasn’t ignorant!This whole lame saga belongs on old-school SNL 'Weekend Update', maybe followed by a good 'Jane you ignorant slut' for good measure.
Maybe he can gather all of the students from The Harriman Academy and do a march. Think of the excitement that would generate. Problem solved.

Banning players was just plain stupid
Historical campaigns suggest the best approach is to mobilize as much as possible around the issue.
That means assessing when voters will retire, leave or pass away. In the USA RBG was asked to step down as a precautionary measure against court packing. Be ready for the opening when they arrive. I hear communist/socialist countries protect their votes differently.
Find out how voters are selected and replace
them or find their limits. Creating a billiard parade or march is easy just use decorators at the airport on luggage, patches are popular.
I am surprised the WCBS allows some of the actions of the ACBS.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
But we're all family here...
Doesn’t Qatar have more money than Matchroom?
Qatar the country doesn't own the organization. That's where its based. I'm sure they help fund it but it really doesn't make any difference seeing the MR has all the top players already signed up. All the $$ in the world doesn't mean shit when you don't have the top players. WPA is boxing off its back foot and is getting scared hence these chickenshit bans.

Yes, Qatar’s recent funding / ownership of the ACBS seems to have led to these recent bans. The Americans (BCA) apparently have been against them but don’t have the votes.
ACBS is just another part of the WPA. AFAIK BCA is 100% on-board with the WPA for whatever the reason. BCA hasn't been in the pro-pool biz for yrs so it really doesn't matter what they say. Just more stuffed shirts.

BCA has voted against the bans, and publicly said they were against them.
edit: I also personally emailed the BCA several months ago when the votes were coming up, and he stated to me he was completely against them and would be voting against bans.
Short 3min video of Shaw and Boyes discussing during European Open.
So you and Dan won’t be marching?
Influencing WPA voting members takes more than marching.
Which federations support the ban and where can they find points of agreement for the future that do not cross red lines.
Asian players changing their governing laws is a dream that no one knows how long it will take to complete.
It is going to be a lifelong war for those votes.
I will be directing BARPA.
