Steve,
Just to let you and the forums know, CSI would like to do the same 'deal' for 2012 us open one pocket event.
I would also appreciate any constructive ideas to make a better event.
We will be moving the tv table to switch with the two tables ( think #8-9)- give better visibility from skyboxes.
I am concerned with the number of no shows- which I do not like. I think the entry fee was about right. The races about as long as time will allow.
Having 9 tables available and only scheduling 8 tables was an accidental (and fortunate) decision.
I will be in touch with you before too long-
Your friend,
Mark griffin

That's terrific Mark -- it's great to have the US Open One Pocket back in strong form, and also a plus that the schedule is pretty well staggered from DCC so those of us that need to rebuild our travel funds/etc in order to make a tournament trip, can go.markgriffin said:

One last thing, on the sky box side of the room not having "riser" seating closeto the tables as was the case on the oppostite side of the room was a negative. Its really difficult to watch a match when seated at groung level.
Thanks for listening.... Keith
Table Positioning
Mark, as we discussed it would be very helpful if the tables were turned around so the spectators would be able to: 1. see the ball count and 2. be closer to the action side of the table. It was a very good event for all.markgriffin said:

Looks like it might work out for John to go to Houston Texas for the Ironman Memorial One Pocket tournament July 4 weekend. It is $2500 added, along with a $4000 added barbox 9-ball event (if John wants to get in that, he is on his own, lol).

Okay, sounds like it won't work for John to go to this Houston event after all. How about someone else? It is coming up soon now -- starts Friday night June 31. There is the One Pocket with $2500 added and also a 9-ball bar box event. They apparently have Calcuttas, too.

Sounds great to me! I believe we also have a couple of Houston area members -- but they might not be "tournament guys"P00lh0li0 said:
John was going to play in the One Pocket and the 9-ball.-- I sent in entry for both (NOT our funds for the 9-ball of course). I am willing to sponsor someone (personally) in that 9-ball spot, so we have two sponsorships available, which could be the same player or not.

Sounds good to me !!!

John H, Rodney, or Senor would all be good horses, who all contribute here... Getting the last two to play might be a different story. You guys could be in dead stroke, playing each other for a few weeks...

I don't need "no stinking tournament"
But if John H. comes, I'll promise him some action.( with me)
Rod.
PS, Senor would be an excellent choice if he started playing now. I'll loan him a cue stick.

How bout it, Deeman? Or John Henderson? Or anyone else that wants to step up. This spot is available -- actually two spots if anybody here wants to get in the Barbox 9-ball also (could be the same person or not).
