It would be amazing if one of the pool power houses i.e. APA, BCA, etc. Put on a little invitational tournament at Grand Central. If you just invited say the top 16/32 most entertaining players, played it on 2 or 4 tables over the course of a week it would create a massive amount of buzz at the very least in the city, plus I am sure it would not be that difficult to get big name sponsors due to its location and walk in traffic. There should be no charge to the public except maybe for some VIP seating

If they can do it for skittles, I am sure it would be far easier to put on such an event for pool.

However this has been donebefore at GCS. UPA event. Came and went but it was a big deal I think.
 
Good point Neil. I will see if I can find a contact for the event space and see how much putting on an event such as that would cost. If it is not a ridiculous amount, I may float the idea to a few people. You never know.

Bfdlad, thank you, I didn't know it had been done before for the UPA.

We've seen televised Grand Station pool before, right?

Must have been an ESPN broadcast a few years ago, unless I just dreamed it.

No Dream

It was the 2004 World Summit of Pool that took place in GCS

Now Google for yourselves because I am listening to Bruno Mars Lazy Song
