which state wins?

This is a great idea that will probably never happen. Unfortunately. I think the teams should consist of seven players. A truer test of who has the best players. Your birth certificate should determine which state you try to qualify in.

JUST MY OPINION

Too broad of a question. Quantify whether the teams are amateur or pro, or a mix, first (and what defines pro vs. amateur?). Then, what rules are you playing by (that makes a difference). There are lots of other variables, but that's a start to be even able to GUESS at your question.

No it's not. Missouri wins, hands down. Harriman, Matlock, Everett...we don't need any more.

There might be like 10 barbox's in the whole state of NY. We would be dead last lol.

With the NY line-up it doesn't matter if they played on a circular glass table. It will never come up as a team event, but I will take these four against four from any other state for highest finish in any tournament they play next year. Bet it up.

Dennis Hatch, Thorsten Hohmann, Mika Immonen, Tony Robles


Notable states with chances at second (in alphabetical order):

Florida
Illinois
North Carolina
Texas

Thorsten doesn't live in NY anymore.
 
The quad cities team would win because you'd have jesse bowman, jamie baracks, chad vilmont, jon kucharo, and any 1 of about 40 people who could beat those 4 on any given day as the 5th player.

Missouri??? You're gonna hafta "Show Me" ;)!!!

BTW Tramp, how do y'all Ozarkians pronounce Missouri, like Miz(as in Mizerak) er(as in er, uh, I didn't understand you) ee(long e)?

Or is it Miz-er-uh? I do not understand how the letter "i" at the end of your state could come out sounding like a short "u".

But then, down here in Texas we have a town named Mexia that is pronounced My-hair (by the locals) and another town named Rio Vista that is pronounced Rye-ah Vista (once again, by the locals). Funny how we can butcher-up the English language ain't it ;):grin::grin::grin:???

I, and many others, used to ask that same question so the state finally came out and said (the wisdom of government here) that either way was correct. Missour-uh, Missour-ee. The name oddly enough, comes from and old Indian word that means 'Show me, or get your white ass down the river.' Hence, our state motto. :wink:
 
If Its amatures

Then I say Illinois hands down...teams from this state have dominated the BCA's for many of the past 10 years or so. They keep having to break up so who knows. But I know there is a LOT of amature bar box talent here. Ike, Sarge, Idrovo, Barrackas, Bandy....Those "pour house" teams that owned the masters team division for many years came from Illinois, at least half of it did.

If you're going to mention Illinois, you have to mention Tom McCluskey. He's originally from Wisconsin but lives in Chicago now. He won the BCA Grand Master division as well as the Master's team division. I've seen him gamble for pretty decent amounts playing bar table 8-ball and there are very few people out there that can beat him at it. Oh, and he still plays strong after working like 200 hours a week and having a family.

I'd actually say that I've never seen MORE bars with barbox's than I've seen in NYC... Granted they are all absolute crap bar boxes...

Lets also not forget the team that won 3 total and 2 in a row in the masters from the great state of Ohio!!! The team was Jason Miller, Gary Speath, Bucky Bell, Rick Carelli, Joe Brown, Rick Brown, Tommy Stephenson.

Not many had to like that!!!!!!!:thumbup:
 
first

Before this you have to have a state championship to determine the top players per state.Use the drivers licence to determine residency.
 
I agree that Illinois/Wisconsin/Minnesota would be some of the top states if we are talking amateur level.

The Poor House won something like 8 BCA Masters Championships in 10 years. (The actual bar The Poor House is in Hartford, Wisconsin, although not all the players were). Illinois and Minnesota have some monster barbox players that play really well on a team.

I don't think Arizona would do that great, the best we got is Frost, Ellerman, Briseno, Orender, Mendoza, Confalone, ....
 
No respect for oklahoma? Chip, Joey, Walden, Matlock spent a good amount of time here. Gabe spends a lot of time in Tulsa. Just thought I'd though that out there.
 
Each state holds Monthly Qualifiers, max of 64 players, for 10 months.
$75 entry = $30 payout, $20 State Director, $25 to Annual US Championship. Winner advances to month 11 and can't compete again till then. OPEN to ALL levels!

Local pool rooms and leagues could run weekly/monthly qualifiers for the monthly State Qualifier (creating revenue at local level and giving locals a chance at State Qualifier)

Each state would then have 10 players at 10 months, 11th month play a 10 player round robin, top 5 is the team to represent your state.

$25 x 64 = $1,600 x 10 events = $16,000 x 50 states = $800,000 payout and pay to all 50 teams. Give bottom tier $5000 just for making the event, that's $1,000/player and go up to $300,000 for 1st, that's $50,000/player... now that's a good return on $75 entry.
