I've notified my BCA league team about my decision to drop out for next session and to join other league. Also, I'd stop watching all pay viewing and related YouTube channels. I'm just an amateur and it may be insignificant but I've made up my mind until changes had made. It's funny that I rarely post in this forum but I feel compelled to do so this time, cheers!
SVB withdraws from future WPA events

- Start date
What is your motivation for doing this?
So did Joshua Filler.
3 of the biggest names in the game telling them to pound sand.
When you introduce more resources (money) into an environment people stop acting less savage.
Nice to see...who is next?
I noticed that SBC when Camel supported the pros.
It was weird seeing the pros ''listen'' instead of telling a sponsor what was best.

ESPN just made an episode of my kids amateur robot fighting league out of Norwalk CT.I don’t know.
A couple of months ago I read an article about cornhole… here it is:
How Cornhole Went Pro
It might be America’s most-played sport. Now it’s quietly becoming a TV success story.www.nytimes.com
And if you wade through all the hoopla about cornhole, about 2/3’s of the way through the article it mentions how streaming platforms are scrambling to sign up live, niche, sporting events.
So who knows what the future holds for pool.

It is ridiculously entertaining.
Honestly I can barely watch pool unless someone bets something. I'm still watching the video of you beating the man with the greatest chicken wing stroke in billiards history. When is the rematch?
I was under the impression that BCA is associated with WPA because of CSI, or am I mistaken?
No, the BCAPL has zero association with the Billiard Congress of America or the WPA. (They did, about 25 years ago, but were sold then, and the buyer kept the letters "BCA" for brand recognition, and added PL.
Thank you for clarifying that. My bad, now I can continue with my team. This WPA sanction thing is getting to my nerves.
It’s also worth noting at the moment that the WPA is comprised of continental members (Europe, Asia, USA, etc). The decisions of the WPA come via votes and the BCA is firmly voting against all bans. And in this case the current bans are from the Asian member of the WPA, the ACBS. They are allowed to issue bans against their own players and for events in their territory without voting at the WPA level. So taking it out on the BCA is like being mad at someone for something their brother did.
I ve had a lot of people mad at me for that. If you knew my brother, you’d be mad too.
Thats a weird looking pool case, and bag of broccoli.
Wouldn't you think at this point the WPA comes down on ACBS or publicly shames them?
People out to bury WPA in hate messages on their FB page....looks quiet there.

The WPA? The bureaucratic organization that has no authority in and of itself until it convenes a session of its joint continental member federations and votes to decide what its stance is? No. I don’t think they are coming down on anything for a couple months at best.
She's clearly got food AND she's ready to joust for her man.
Some people just don't 'see'.
There are dozens (or more) cable TV networks that could carry pro Pool. DAZN is a poor second cousin to the real cable network giants like Netflix, Disney, Sling, Hulu, Starz, Paramount, Fubo and so many others. DAZN charges too much and their content is too limited.
