I am not sayng that this new organisation is bad thing as Richard and Daryl are both sound guys. But I am intrigued why it is a necessity.
Why is the GB9 Tour still not fulfilling this important role. Surely, as the primary promoter of events in the UK this should be sufficient for them to hold the reins and control what happens.
They publish a Ranking List which simply has no meaning unless it is used by a third party.
No doubt (as Mark points out) they will be giving 'the working together' scenario but all that seems to be created is another level of politics, which like the previous David Morris' sham organisation does not promote the events.
Could the new 'federation' not have come from within the inside of GB9?

Doug some very valid points, but having an independent organisation run by the players is surely better for the game. It stops a bias that we know in the past the GB committee has had over certain individuals.

The tour is great for UK 9 ball, but at times is run like it's Lee Rigby's baby and this is not very professional at times, if Mr Rigby doesn't like certain players, my good friend god rest his soul Mark lovell raised these issues on more than 1 occasion and i have read of other players on here having the same issues with Lee Rigby, not saying he doesn't do a good job, just think it's biased at times and a new organisation can prevent this and get the best for the players.
