This statement is vague....
"Should a player move two or more balls on one rack"
Is this meaning at the same time, or during the rack you move one ball one time and then another time you move one ball which equals a total of two on one rack?

I agree
I agree when you put it in those terms, where the player is only worth what they can generate. But is it these young guys fault that they are the best in the world and can generate zero?
Now as far as the drug addicts that exist in this game and the bad people well, they deserve everything they get. I have a huge list of people who will be banned from my events. My 1st of which is a NYS Barbox 8 ball tournament, which the dates will be released in the comming months.
But you are right, this needs to be built brick by brick, and I think a company like insidepool magazine is helping that fight. They can prove numbers of viewers and such on their streams and professional looking videos they have done. This costs them a ton of money, but I think in the end they will have a great product for pool, and corprate america will see value in advertising with them. Myabe this is just block number one, of building our sport again.

not their fault but their reality
Mike,
Easy to see when we talk a little that we are very much on the same page or so close it doesn't matter. It isn't the young guys fault that are trying to make a serious career in the sport of pool but it is their reality. If they are to have any real hope of success they need to look at where pool as a whole is today and devote their efforts not only to playing pool but to improving both the sport and the perception of pool and pool players in the public eye. In established pro sports it might be enough to show up and play, pool isn't an established pro sport in the US today regardless of history and players have to do everything the can to help promote the sport.

UGETTHE6 just to respond to your post above, we let everyone know who signed up for Capone's that this was a modified round robin format. It was also posted on our webite and on the tour stop logistics for the event which are on our website as well as emailed to players prior to the event.
