WPBL PLAYERS: Free Consulting

Dave we have a lawyer working for us, and have also discussed most of the options you have wrote about.

I have a business nvq level 4, so i know a little about business myself having previously had 2. We are a lot smarter than people on here realize and have many options of what we can do.

Thanks for the advice we appreciate it and the support off all of you on here. We will work through this to make it a successful business model, for the future of pool.

At this moment in time, i can't say too much and would respect it if people on here would understand that.

Thanks Lee

I think they just used the US players as pawns to put together a neat package to market to the Asian Market. Leagues, or otherwise, they will not make money in the US.

I dunno, leagues seem to be realtively profitable. There have been many new ones pop up in the last decade and a half...

Lee -- please don't think I'm saying anyone is stupid. Most pool players don't know this stuff and most non-pool-players don't as well.

History shows pool players have been F'd in the end because they lacked info. I'm just offering info because I'm friends with some of the players and am a fan of some of the others. They can read this and wipe their asses with it or do something with it.

There are 100000 ways to do a single thing in business, some better than others. The best move isn't always the best personal move and the best personal move isn't always the best business move.

Maybe now would be a good time for the players to get an honest answer on the ultra secret fool proof business plan.

I don't know anyone not on AZB that has ever even heard of Bonus Ball. So unless I missed something, the mainstream US Market is not their target. They have made it very clear that the fans of pool on AZB's is not their target.

So who is the target market? Not US general population, not US pool enthusiasts. Which leads us to the Asian Market.

The concept could be huge in Asia - different venues for each city, traveling teams, hundred's of millions of potential viewers, NETWORK and PPV.

But why would they want to watch US players, when there are so many strong Asian players available?

My theory is this whole thing was a proof of concept. Invest a few million, build a studio, hire some players, record the matches, and take the package over seas to license, or sell.

As for the US players, disposable actors to package their product.

having people agree with my theory. It goes to show that numerous people see where the future of pool lies, not in the over indulged Americans,but the wide open Asian market.

Go t the June 1st Bonus Ball/Bogus Ball thread and you'll see that I was first to pose this entire scenario about who they might be marketing this program towards. The league concept is spot on, because at this time, as far as I am aware,only a miniscule % of the Asian Pool Population is engaged in organized activity like leagues,but have a tremendous European Club like infrastructure in place. JB might have more knowledge in that area,since he is over there at this time.
