Ok... so I don't know Pat Fleming...
but wouldn't it be cool to have something like this...
He currently gets people to pay 300 up front for some VIP access and name in credits on the DVD. I don't really know how many takers he gets, but it is a cool incentive.
What if he offered a 500 dollar(or whatever amount... maybe 100 would work out better depends on quantity of applicants) chance to participate as a player in the MIH tournament?
Basically it would be an all expenses paid entry into the tournament. It could be Joe Blow that isn't capable of running a rack of 9 ball or an experienced one pocket player looking to get in the mix.
I think it would be cool to have the pro player that is playing against the contestant actually do a little commentary.
This could add to the prize pool to help cover Pat's expenses.
Most players will get run over fairly quickly, so the matches wouldn't last long. it would also provide a learning platform for those watching and wanting to know what not to do. Maybe throw a "color commentary" guy in there on these matches to just make it more fun.
Also, it would be cool to make this kinda like the all star game. What if they setup difficult shots(not trick shots) and had like a H-O-R-S-E(for those that played basketball) competition. This could easily be performed before and after matches. The average pool players watching could setup these same shots and test themselves. The cameras are already there. Maybe this would lead to a little more exciting television and at some point could get back on espn or the likes.
