I've just been on AZbilliards and it would appear that this member only event might not be going ahead....this is from some very well informed sources. I was hoping maybe some of our IPT boys might be able to shed some light on this? Daz Mick Daryl any news guy's? -----------------

Cut and pasted from the www.Scottish9Ball.com forums: ---------------------------------------------------------------- e mail from ExCel Dear Sir Thank you for your e-mail. The IPT Players 8-Ball Championship Event is not contracted yet that is why the show is not on our website. I'm confident that event will happen in Excel Centre - it's jus the matter of finalisation of a contract. What I can suggest to you is to keep on checking our website ' as soon as the show will be contracted it will appear on the web. Hope that helps.

I've heard people spreading this rumour but the people I've heard spouting it may be slightly biased.
The only doubt I have is that Jenny Malloy has mentioned it - and I would trust her judgement. I wonder who Railbird JAM's source is?
I think I'll PM her now!

It seems to me the IPT is in real danger here and so are the players that play on it.
How on earth can a company with 150 plus self employed people be worth $150.000000 .IMPOSSIBLE. it seems that this is a way to jump ship while you can and look good by passing the buck.
I remember hearing from some uk based players saying "Quote " he loves us he loves pool he loves the players " Yes right"
you are all going to come unstuck.
$2000 to enter for a tour card?
who is to say that $2000 is not to cover the losses to get Some lost Dosh back.??
I think thats exactly what is going to happen here people.
Reason
How can you cancel an event 1 month of the start date?
Answer .There is no qualifiers to help subsidise the outlay.for 40 odd players.OR you realise that its not working and not funding itself,and it should of done if you based all the DOE outlay on 64 players per qualifier,it dont if you only get 6-10-20 odd DOES IT.
If it was me i would think sod this the players arnt helping,now nor am I.
A rich man does not get rich by giving Millions away DOES HE.going by the quotes above pool players /gamblers think so dont they (HOW STUPID)
Or say,, ar lets say we cant get a venue.
What has happened to the Balls that were promised to all the competitions from the start ? O there stuck in customs for 6 months.
You heard it here 1st
John...................................................
I will offer $200.000000
how does that sound pool players.
