It's not a total loss--the interviews were great. I'd like to see more interviews, and I bet lots of other people would, too. Thanks for posting them.
Is their anyway someone can blame earl because someone backed out
I would rather watch straight up even race's than bullshit spots & rules!
Honestly what is the most he could have won from Mr. Bartram's backer? 20 or 40K maybe?
JCIN is a hell of a guy, and is doing great things for pool.
He said it right too "playing before the game, is a bad plan" thats a action killer almost every time. Because someone will always see something they dont like and pull up. You cant ever let players play before the "Action" with out risking the real game. Because when they start playing the action has started no matter what the bet is. This is not specific to this time, it applies to all action. It can go the other way if both sides see something they like, but more often it dont work that way.
JCIN has alot of heart and this is only one day, action is spontaneous and waits for no one, I have seen games fall apart in 30 seconds after weeks of planning, and seen action just happen with 5 minutes planning. Thats pool. Action waits for no one. The deposit idea would cover JCIN's biz and I like that plan. I know we all want this to work.

Worth mentioning, the last set yesterday Bart was up 23-16 going to 25, missed a 7 ball and Dippy wins 9 in a row from there to win (mostly combos on the 5 and 9). Try giving up 2:1 on the money betting 10k and fading that... That would break most backs.
He had already lost over 30 to Dippy before this weeks circus even kicked off.... The guy that broke the balls like King Kong last night wore him out, I think.
After two days of playing basically the same game Bart's guy decided he did not like the game enough to put up the $20K. Really nothing more to be said from there.
Its my fault for breaking my own rule about making both sides post a deposit, even though that really is no guarantee of a match either. A guy could easily walk away from a $1000 deposit if he thinks hes in a bad game.
The problem was they played each other for two days before the scheduled match. Never a good thing. I want to say that both Chris, his backer and Dippy all acted like gentlemen and were very respectable. Things like this just happen in action.
I apologize for it not going off. I work very hard to make sure we do what we say will and it really pisses me off when it doesnt happen for whatever reason. I'll find a way to make it up to the people who wanted to see it.

JCIN said:Dippy went above and beyond and squared me away on the money I had put out for hotels and other expenses. More than few people would of chalked it up to bad luck and went on down the line. Dippy didn't do that. He stood up and did what he could to help.
