Homecoming tournament for me. This whole week is gonna be special with a lot of extra bonus events over the week to say thank you for the support KC has given us since our first event. The production will move up a notch and so will the overall event. KC was the place I knew our 'For the Players' mission came to life. This will sell out fast.

I'm so so proud of Justin Bergman winning the Florida Shootout, he's been such an important part of the Ultimate Pool USA journey. He's been with us since KC in 2024, and has made it to every event since. He's an UPL League Operator and an incredible ambassador for what we're trying to achieve. His family have also became a part of the Ultimate Pool USA family.
This shootout was amazing, filled with drama and breathtaking pool and my whole team did an amazing job. Pool is an incredible sport filled with wonderful storylines and characters. It doesn't need to be about the organizers or fake beef. Give the players the canvas and they'll paint you the masterpieces. Thank you to everyone who supports us. We don't take it for granted! Classic Billiards amazing hospitality and what a great venue.
Ok. Some controversy at the end of the Dennis Hatch vs Craig Waddingham game, it's important we're transparent at Ultimate Pool USA so here is the unedited audio from the decision and the frame by frame. A phenomenal call from our officials.
Can I ask everyone to share the stream. If you share the stream I'll swag someone with a shootout poster signed. Just comment if you've done it. Thanks everyone i appreciate you!

Although I'm devastated not to be in Florida, the team we've built at Ultimate Pool USA is something to be truly proud of, it's gonna be weird not being in the room speaking to the players. But my amazing team and Classic Billiards have got this. I cannot be any prouder of my team!
