if you did like bonus ball or if you at least like pool, go here...

https://r.espn.go.com/members/contact/tvindex

and tell ESPN that you want it on TV next season or at least on ESPN3 for the entire regular season and playoffs.

if you don't like bonus ball, be cool and tell them you like it anyway.:cool:

if you didn't watch bonus ball, this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I will certainly let them know that I enjoyed watching Bonus Ball, however, I actually think it's far more enjoyable when it's on ESPN3 (online stream) than when it's on their regular broadcast channels.

- there are no commercials
- there is no editing; you can actually watch the entire match regardless of how long it runs
- nearly instant on demand replays

Obvious negative is that you need broadband w/ provider access in order to receive it.
 
you are right there, I like it on ESPN3 as well. even if that's all we get, i'll take it. I watched the replay this morning. on demand is nice.

I would love to see them follow the APA (or whatever league) national event in las vegas. I think it would be infinitely more interesting to watch a couple of 2 handicaps play a race to 1 than 2 pros play a race to 11. the drama of watching 2 people play for something meaningful and you have no idea from shot to shot what will happen next. even a hanger 8 ball could result in disaster.
 
Bonus Ball I must say you "Suck"

Why am I so harsh???

I just tried to help Bonus Ball out and send them some feed back on their decision to provide more coverage of pool via the Bonus Ball broadcast.

Well, the link you provided takes you to the WRONG place. Why do I know this, because I thanked them for Mosconi Cup coverage in years past. The correct link is here:

https://r.espn.go.com/members/contact/tvindex

I do not know if they are just lazy at bonus ball? ill-informed or just clueless? So many mistakes that people have to question if this is really a Joke?

To those members reading this, I am going to help my friends the pro players participating and thank ESPN to help them. Bonus Ball management can go _._._._ themselves.

Try the link provided by the original poster and then when you realize it is wrong click on the link I provided above.

All the best to my AZBilliards members who take the time to do these types of things.

Of course a real benefit of having it broadcast on regular TV is the ability to gain the interest of non-pool fans. I guess the ideal mix is ESPN3 for the die-hard pool fan and ESPN2 for the casual viewer.

Yes, I am blaming Bonus Ball because I believe Bonus Ball asked or told TS to post this HERE!

They have been told several times about their Public Relations! Especially, here on a site they still have NOT paid for services rendered??? Not to mention the player payment drama!!!


So, Leto i can add you on the list of Bonus Ball management that "SUCK"

I'd also just like to point out that you can tell ESPN anything you want... it won't matter. They see the numbers of viewers and that's all the care about. And I'll bet it was under 1000.

I was also thinking it might not look so good if 128 people tell ESPN that they want more Bonus Ball.:)

I fixed the link with the link you provided. have a Bonus Ball day.:smile:

I also received 2 emails from ESPN after I sent in my comments. One was automated, one from an actual person. So, they are listening.

disclaimer: my views and comments in no way reflect those of Bonus Ball or the Bonus Round on the Wheel of Fortune. I am in no way affiliated with the WPBL or Wheel of Fortune. I am however very good at Jeopardy.

I will change my post given you fixed the link! Its easy enough to do. I think you understand why I posted what I did and why I felt overwhelmingly like no good deed goes unpunished. When I try to help out and have to search all around to help Bonus Ball out and the players! Let me know and i will change/delete my post? I will change my post to help bonus ball.

it's cool. I should have tried the link first. I just copied and pasted it from the website.

I'm just spreading the love. I'm just a fan who is genuinely excited for this because I think it can work for TV and gather some new fans and some new $$$ for sponsorship. I'm no pro but it all trickles down.
 
Filled out my positive comment. Go Minnesota Outlaws!!!

Hahaha. What a joke. I work at Wal-mart and for a CPA. I just enjoyed the BB games I have watched. Why I'm justifying myself to someone like you, I don't know.must be bored.

Right.

Bonus Ball or any pool related coverage is not even near the universe of ESPN or any broadcast network's sights of getting picked up as something the network will spend their on production money on. If you want network coverage of pool, you have to pay them their production costs, there is no way around it.
