I have to admit I've always been a wannabe promoter!

So just to stick my toe into the water I've decided to hold my first Riley Promotions event.....The World LAG Championships!

Round robin, best of 1 match ups. One player lags first and then opponent tries to beat it, lag for break of course! :p

The event will be held on Easter Island, the most remote island on earth to ensure:

a) All players have to travel and play on a neutral venue
b) All players will be jet lag-ged! :p

This will be a truly open event
:D
 
you'll create a lot of buzz if it was an invitational instead.

JAM will be here shortly chanting "USA all the way" for this World Lag Championships.

Mr. Riley

I would like to personally thank you for inviting me to this prestigious event that wil include some of the greatest laggers in the world. I respectfully decline this invitation and I would ask that in my place you would consider giving my spot to the man, the myth, the legend, Doug Wilson (aka Smorgassbored). Be sure to put all the buffets in the area on red alert.

:eek:

I cannot understand why I wasnt invited to your "World Championship" event... I mean I am a lagging legend...back in the 80's I was THE LAGGER...I know I havent won anything in a long time, but I deserve the invite based on my accomplishments years ago....

I am Shane "the lag" Napier....I refuse to actually qualify..as a matter of fact I dont think I should even pay..you should pay me...and my flight out to your crummy little island.......not that I am saying that I want to go ....I am just saying "if" I were to maybe want to play......



Craig Riley is a punk and his event is joke

I have been requested to pass this message on to you Mr Riley.

All islamic pool organisations and players will of course boycott your so called World Lag Championships, partly because of your decadent avatar and partly because of the blatantly Christian connotations surrounding any venue called "Easter" Island. Why can't there ever be a day when our faithful can pursue their world lagging ambitions at "Ramadan" City, you imperialist pig dog. A pox on you and your heathen offspring.

PS....is it double elimination?....will there be a bar, a betting booth and pretty waitresses?.........love and kisses, Abdul and the boys.
 
Hehe very funny replies, just to clarify as one or two people thought this was in some way mocking them. This thread was an attempt to inject some humor into this forum. It wasn't aimed at any one side of the recent topical debates.

PS
Some people have asked about cash, this event like the European Championships which upsets so many will be played for honor only, NO CASH!

1st, 2nd, and 3rd will each receive a easter island statue head trophy in Gold, Silver and Bronze respectively. I expect all the above posters to embrace this new open world championships and play for pride!

PPS
For those making travel plans already Easter Island can only be flown too via Chile! Dates probably early April next year. ;)

I have too many credentials to list here but as you know I am very famous and deserve special recognition and compensation. I expect to have my expenses paid for plus an added payment for using my name and picture in any of your advertisements for the upcoming event.

If you are not willing to pay me for the use of my name and photos plus the expenses, I will not be able to attend. Your early response is very important as I am working on calendar year 2009 but if the event will be in 2008 I will try to squeeze you in after I know if you meet my requirements.

Sincerely,
JoeyA

Craig you forgot to add the information from the flyers you distributed:

1) This is a handicapped event in which all higher rated competitors must change the dynamics of each lag attempted:

2) Chosen handicap is alternating, by player first, then opponent choice.

Examples

A) 1point spot, stand on right foot only.
(players choice)

B) 2point spot, stand on right foot only and close left eye.
(players choice, then opponents choice)

C) 3point spot, stand on right foot only, close left eye, & shoot behind the back.
(players choice, then opponents choice, players choice)

D) 4point spot, stand on right foot only, close left eye, shoot behind the back & backhand grasp with thumb only.
(players choice, opponents choice, players choice, opponents choice)


To find out what your handicap rating is please contact, "The ONE."
 
Forget the handicap, I come to play, can I HIT MORE THAT ONE RAIL??
What If I put the lag ball behind the tit on the end rail??
 
Training

I have been sandbagging for the last 10 years to come into this with a low handicap. I feel i am ready to take my lag to the next level and would love to play for the pride of it and to help pay for your expenses with my $150 entry fee.
 
What's to eat?

What's the best tip to use for lagging cause on my Cuetec I want that special tink sound that all those magic cues have.
Can we eat all those red crabs running around and if I hit one lagging is that also interference and I can shoot again our do I have stay with the lay.
Oh silly me I thought it was the Christmas Island well do they have any rabbits for Easter or do I have to bring my own.
Fat people want to know??????

TheVerySmallNumber,
May I offer a suggestion (since it is obvious you Brits have NO CLUE how to run a big time event): YOU MUST OFFER PRIZE MONEY!!!!!! Of course, you don't necessarily need to actually pay it out (search IPT/Kevin Trudeau for more creative ideas).

I feel strongly that participation will be increased if you offer 10 million dollars (oh hell, 10 million pounds or quid or bob or shillings or whatever the hell else you used to use for money on the other side of the pond; you're not going to have to actually pay it out anyway; pool players don't insist on being paid; they just insist on promising to be paid) in prize money; and have a series of qualifiers with $2,000 entry fees. After all, you want the strongest field possible.....................oh, wait......hmmmm.........on retrospect, I don't see how anyone would fall for such a transparent scam....nevermind...please ignore this post.

Great thread, and although in jest, it does have somewhat of a ring of truth to it. I used to hang out at Greenway Billiards in Baton Rouge, LA back in the late '70's. I walked in one night and noticed a big crowd around the 5X10 snooker table. There were two players lagging for a C-note a lag. I can't remember for sure who the players were, I think that one of them was Shorty Lewis, but I can remember who the ref was - Lambert Louvier. If there was a close call he would make the final decision. The players had to lag at the same time just like they were beginning a set.There were even rail bets. A lot of action in that room during that era. Hemicudas used to be seen at the Greenway at the same time period. Do recall the lag match $Bill?
