We are proud to be sponsoring this one. Two members of the OB Pro Team (Corey and Mike) in an epic USA/Philippines 8 Ball match up :) Should be a great match! Looking forward to seeing it in person.
 
CSI you bunch of Jerks!!!

First the Van Boening vs Ko Pin Yi and now this match and I can't get to Vegas to watch it in person.

Anyone need an employee in Vegas during the week of these matches??? PLEASE
 
I'd love to have a price for a nice, printed poster like the match announcement in the first post signed by all 4 participants!

Individually purchased, as an ad-on to the stream purchase... I just can't imagine them not being a popular item. I've been wrong quite a bit, though.
 
Man O Man this is going to be a treat. PPV or free, I'm gonna be watching. Super excited that I will get to see Efren and Bustamente teamed up as I know they are like brothers. I want everyone to have a mic on and I want a Limits translator on ready-five to explain Busty when he is left in the weeds by Efren or something in Tagalog.

Regards,

Lesh

Usually Efren will give cheeky grin and tease Buste when he make blunder. Buste will laugh it off. Awesome chemistry and they are having fun which makes a lot of difference.
Not sure about chemistry between the 2 Ds, don't they have play at diff pace- Deuel slower and more defensive while Dechaine more attacking fast paced:D

I'm not sure about that statement. When Cory is in the mood he will shoot shots that NOBODY will try and make some of them.

I agree, would be a very cool add on to hang up in the man cave. There needs to be more memorabilia readily available.

It's surprising that nobody else seems to feel this way. I've asked match promoters about signed posters/flyers before, and except for the Geno/Bartram grudge match (thanks, Ray) I've never had a response.

Let's say there's 100 5"x10" sections of cloth on the table this match is being played on. You don't think you could sell those sections of cloth signed by the players for $20 each? That's $1500 for a promoter to put back into pool and $500 for new cloth for the next match.

It's a cool idea. I think maybe financially it's not as profitable as it sounds.
You're not counting the time and hassle of taking apart the table, marking
the cut lines, and then cutting up the cloth into 100 little pieces and getting
two signatures on each. Couple of hours of work.

Also if the cloth is 300-320 that may not be enough to pay the guy to recloth.
And I dunno if you can sell 100. Remember that typically only 300 people watch,
though it's gone over 1,000 sometimes.

Still kind of like the concept.
Anyone know if they played literally on brand new felt for every TAR?

Yeah, this won't be as cool if you're not there, Cliff. Hope you're well.
 
Bad matchup for the Americans plus bad team. I think Corey's slow
play would throw Mike's game for a loop. Easy win for Efren and Busty.
 
Nice variety at the BCAPLs. Two invitational tourneys, a scotch doubles matchup and a head to head matchup. Oh yeah, and about 10,000 amateurs competing. Is this great or what?
