Why in the world would the USBA allow there to be two qualifiers in the same region in the same month? Anyone? This non-sense does get pretty tiring. I've spent a lot of time, enegry, and my own money trying to promote a qualifier in Savannah, GA. You know it's not an easy thing to do, but not only has the USBA undermined my event, but the players themselves, as well. If Doral had announced a qualifier, I would definetly not try to compete with them. In fact, I would likely have joined their qualifier and probably brought an extra player or two with me. However, I can see a little bit better how these things work now. Oh yes, I'm pretty angry. Maybe I shouldn't be, but this sort of attitude seems to be fully consistant with the organization. Always doing their best to alienate the membership! I just can't believe it. Doral Billiards knew fully well that we were trying to organize a qualifier here, and also the USBA. NOt only were there several announcements, but I even sent them a letter in the mail to see if any of their players might like to play in it. Anyway, rant over, for now.

We have a great local tournament every month, with a great bunch of players. I have that to look forward to......maybe someday, we'll try to associate ourselves with the USBA again.....
