With Johnny Archer, Ralf Souquet, John "Mr. 400" Schmidt, Jose Parica,
and Thorsten Hohmann, Accu-Stats embarks on a new venture --
Invitational Tournaments and Live Internet broadcasts. Straight pool
participation is on the rise. Why? Players know that the skills honed
playing 14.1 improves all games, especially 8-Ball and 1-Pocket.
“We have the opportunity to bring the fans the tournament action they
demand and at the same time, control our own product,” says Accu-Stats
owner and 2008 BCA Hall of Fame inductee, Pat Fleming. "Unlike TV, when
you are part of an Accu-Stats Video Productions, your presence is
forever, and you can view it any time you want."
Pros love being part of an Accu-Stats' production. "Except when you dog
it," laughs Mr. 400. "Having made a Straight Pool “Player Review” DVD
with Accu-Stats, it really helped me see my strengths--and my
weaknesses! So, I get to improve. And, if I can improve, what's it
doing for the amateur player who wants to get better?"
In the 20 match Double Round Robin format- each contestant will play
each other twice, "In 60 point matches!" says Fleming. "We want to keep
the pressure at boiling point. Each time you come to the table, every
stroke is critical. One misplayed shot here, and it could be all over.”
If a player does get on a roll, after he sinks the game ball, he'll
have the opportunity to run to 100, 150, or more for cash bonuses and a
“Player Review” where he narrates his own DVD. "That's when I really
find out how I think," says Archer, "and, the viewer gets to find out
too."
The innovative format will generate 10 DVDs with commentary by
Accu-Stats' own, Billy Incardona and Danny Diliberto. Plus, with runs
of 100 or more, even more DVDs, like Schmidt's, will evolve into
instructional “player reviews.”
Unless on the road taping The U.S. Open or The Diamond Derby City
Classic, the Accu-Stats Arena will be at Comet Billiards. "This gives
us the opportunity to produce tournaments, challenge matches,
exhibitions, and instructionals, all of which will evolve into DVDs and
internet broadcasts. Now, for Accu-Stats, the sky's the limit," beams
Fleming.
Very Limited Seating – Every seat is a VIP seat but only 60 seats are
available and then it's standing room only. Also, everyone, who
purchases a ticket, gets a free DVD of their choice. Visit accu-stats.com or call 800.828.0397 for more information on season passes and individual ticket purchases.
