eng 8 ball is a totally different game so i don't understand why being a pro at that stops you from entering amateur 9 ball comps when pro standard players like andy appleton and adam smith are taking part! c'mon dicko, pull your finger out pal, lol!! ----------------- Regards

lets look at it another way without dissing any tour or individual.the word proffesional means you have no other job and that you make a living from it.all these people on the gb tour in the pro division are pro then. not true. 95% have another job its just a word that states ur a pro so you can run round telling everyone im a pro pool player when really there is only very few that are and i aint 1 of them. u have daz,imran,raj,tony and darryl thats it. 5 proper pro,s. ps before anyone starts having a go im not taking anything away from the other players because they are also of a high quality but hey dont make enough money in the sport to just consentrate on that alone

also, what happens if someone plays on the challenge tour on gb9 so is an amateur 9 ball player and is a pro on the eng 8 ball tour, steven petty being a good example of this situation. That player should be allowed to play in amateur american pool comps but not amateur eng 8 ball pool comps. This cue sport pro business needs more clarification me thinks! ----------------- Regards

Dixon ..................... Thinking orgenisers decision if final So why let Tom Emes in then? He's a top pro that will give everyone who's entered a "whooping"! He's the favourite to win by miles, I think it's a disgrace how there's one rule for one and not for the other! Pooliscool............Tom Emes for Prime Minister

What's that got to do with it? You have to earn your way into pro tournaments, would riggers let you play in the pro division? I've got your message anyway, have a good comp!!! ----------------- Regards

pooliscool i was hoping you'd query my name appearing in the list. i have been forced into the amateur bracket as i have not yet passed the test to step up to pro level. let me know when your free to play so i can hopefully somehow fluke a victory over you thus officially passing my 9-ball pool proffessional exam and joining the elite group of pro's. how much do you charge for the test and could i book an hour lesson with you first please master?
