Of all the Games played on an American Pool Table, I feel that this one could very well be the one to entice a lot of the Snooker players and English Pool players over to compete who would not usually give it a second moments thought.
This due to points scored in the match (very similar to break building in snooker and running patterns in 8 Ball) that wins instead of a "money ball"
Coupled with a fair sized prize pot, I see no reason why higher skilled players would snub the chance to earn some "easy" money.
I am really looking forward to this event as I think Straight Pool is long overdue a revival!!!
Regrds Russ.

Love this game. Looks easy but actually not. Put me down pls Russell. Good work and thanks for not clashing. Can bring scoreboards if it helps but as will have to double up on each table will only have enough for 4 tables. Also have a really good supplier for trophies at discounted rates let me know if needed. [ This message was edited by: wildman147 on 2014-08-03 19:24 ]
