The King of One Pocket Tournament - $50,000 - February 24th-26th
- Thread starter Fast Lenny
- Start date
Wow! What a great tournament offered by ontherail.tv. Awesome. Can't wait.
Really looking forward to Box commentating these matches!
Box has a way of showing you how to "look" at things you would not necessarily see for yourself. First and foremost he is a passionate "Teacher" of the game interested in bringing its purity and complexity into a dialog which captures the imagination of both the expert and the novice player - just what one pocket needs to grow.

What kind of random "hapless fish" is gonna show up in an 8 man event?
Call it whatever you want, I hope the event happens.
DON'T WATCH!!!! SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM.
YOU'RE WELCOME

Chip Compton before Richie Rich. Justin Bergman also a possibility.
Do Compton and Gray ever go out west? If so you can't count Joey out. At the last 6k entry he had a very impressive win over the Freezer where Scott only needed one ball in three different games. He went double hill with Roberts and Bustimante, a win in either of those matches would have got him at least third. One or two different rolls in those races to seven in both those sets and he would've cashed big.
I'm betting no Richie R. I'll take up to 500. And I'll bet 100 no Danny S.
Action is for the next 24 hours only.
As i said -without a lot of thought. I just was hoping other people would put up their guesses. Get a debate going.

I dont think a few hapless fish are going to show up and donate $6000 to pretend they are pro's. It will be only Elite one pocket players entering this event !!! I also believe any one of the 8 players has a chance to win. Scott Frost and John Schmidt have thrown there hat in the ring, I suspect after the holidays we will see more interest !!!

Its kind of hard to predict at this time. I imagine Derby will have a lot to do with attendance. Who makes some scores and who busts out. Freezer, Mr. 400,SVB, Efren, Busti, Dennis O, Alex, Joey, Chip, Corey, Bergman, JHall, Roberts, Smith are the usual suspects. Daz could probably think of a few better spots to invest his/backer money into but cant ever count out his heart or ability to step up. Daulton would be a great addition. I'm sure I'm missing a few but that about sums it?

Once you said see, it was over. No string bets here...
I just saw this thread. Lenny, fantastic idea! No one but those who really feel they have a legit chance of winning will cloud the field with this entry fee. That's also very good.
But .. IMO, I have to agree, to really find the King of 1pkt, the double race to 7 is IDEAL, but the field should be opened. Potential better players might get shut out otherwise. Doubt you'd get many more playing, but it should be available. I realize it would take some time, but this would really allow all the gunfighters to enter.
Maybe even some sponsor money would come along albeit perhaps not a ton of money, it would be good as well.
One thought you probably already considered, Ustream sucks, I'd rather pay 20 or 30 for the event if it were streamed through the same place Pat and Ray use ... I can't even remember what it is, but its far more reliable IMO. but thats just me, such a great event as this if it happens, deserves to be watched without freeze ups if possible.

1 pkt and poker : a few rules need to be clarified before we begin
I just got off the phone with Box, who is thankful for all the nice comments on this thread. I will be meeting Box at Gary's to commentate at least one match with him and I'm sure that Billy or anyone else won't mind sweating a match with him too. We may after all get to hear a heated debate about Box's 'tiers' that everyone seems to be so frustrated about...LOL. I really think Frank Almanza is an excellent talent as a commentator as well. He really knows the game and is cheerful to listen to.
I have agreed to do what I can to assist Lenny with his production and promotion. I may even do some camera work to provide a few closeups if permitted. Lenny is an asset to the pool community and will bring a great show! Gary's Victor Billiards will be the perfect setting.
Oddly, there seems to be more talk about the commentators than the field. Do we have a status on that yet?
