Last year there were at least three major one pocket tournaments. DCC, CA Billiard Invitational, Las Vegas. I am sure there were others. I had a idea that adding something from each tournament, there could be a Player of the Year award with a cash stipend. The players do not make enough money for their talents. It is like the old days of the NFL when the pros had to work a regular job to get by.
Did you know the Courier Journal, a major US newspaper does not even cover the event? I ask them earlier this year to let me write a blog for their sporting section and they said there was no interest.
Where is ESPN?
Where is any sports reporting?
Until pool gets recognized as a sport with its own top players, the HOF's of pool will continue to be chosen by back room play and not talent.
If the same criteria was held for the football players who had a job to live like betting is held to pool, then no one who ever played and had a job would be in footballs HOF.
