Players Announced for the Next IPT Viewers' Choice Challenge Match

Voting for the IPT Ultimate 8-Ball "Viewers' Choice" challenge match has been closed. IPT staff have examined the votes to verify that all counted votes adhered to the IPT voting policy, which is published in the IPT FAQ. Any and all votes that violated voting policy have been removed and the final vote count has been adjusted and finalized. The two players who were chosen by pool fans world wide will be announced on the IPT website Monday, April 14, at 2 p.m. Central Standard Time.

WIN A FREE SET OF DVDs!

Guess how many total legitimate votes were submitted during the entire voting process, and win a set of free DVDs from the IPT. If someone doesn't guess the exact number of votes that came in, the person who guesses the closest number to the actual total will be the winner. You have until Tuesday, April 15, at 10 a.m. Central Standard Time to submit your guess. Simply send an e-mail with your guess to voting@internationalpooltour.com. You will be notified via e-mail if you are the winner. The DVD set will include Mike Sigel's "Perfect Pool & How to Make Trick Shots," the Sigel vs. Jones match, the Sigel vs. Reyes match, and an assortment of IPT King of the Hill matches.

The feature match in the IPT Ultimate 8-Ball match will be under the grueling IPT conditions of tight pockets (courtesy of Diamond Billiard Products) and slow-nap cloth made by Gorina. The April 29 live broadcast is absolutely free. Visit International Pool Tour to learn more.

The IPT Ultimate 8-Ball is also going to have an "under-card" straight pool match between world champion Oliver Ortmann and John Schmidt that will take place during the April 29 live broadcast. Although being called the under-card match, the players are both world-class athletes whose match-up is essentially another feature match! And remember, both feature matches in the live broadcast, and the player voting, are absolutely free.

Anything to do with the IPT turns my stomach… just typing the three letters turns my stomach! To date I've had no desire to try to watch any of their "challenge matches".

This match up with Oliver & John will be great and is the first thing that's piqued my interest. I wish like all get out that TAR was putting this on & not them. From what I've heard from those that have bothered to try to watch these "challenge matches", it's next to impossible to do so. If you can even get the feed, it's of horrific quality and gives you a headache trying to watch it. <shaking head> TAR did a better job with a terrible internet connection, 10 yr old laptop & a walmart video camera at the DCC.

I had the pleasure of meeting Oliver this past summer at the 14.1 event in NJ. He's got one heckuva mean game face… LOL, I was almost scared to meet him. Wow, what a nice guy! He was nothing as I had expected (just going by demeanor & facial expressions alone). John is a super nice guy as most already know… Because of how much I genuinely like these two guys and how great they both are at 14.1, I might actually have to try to stomach the crappy feed to see this match.

I can't give dime one or even register with IPT because it will forever remain associated with the con man Kevin Trudeau in my mind. I even consider Deno tainted by association with KT.
I will probably subscribe to the upcoming TAR webcasts from the BCA Las Vegas event in order to support TAR, even though I doubt very much I'll watch them online. I can't stand watching anything for a prolonged period on my computer, but I applaud TAR's efforts and intentions.

the only challenge with IPT is getting paid. those one and a half guys, KT and mini-me, never, never, never tell the truth.

In the past I've refused to register with them also. If I decide to do this, I’m going to make a yahoo email…

Tims <---- The guys at TAR F'n ROCK!

This sums it up for me.

Somebody tell me. Did the IPT pay the players or not? I've heard both. Why would the players play if the IPT didn't?

Is this the kid and Efren Reyes match?

This little tidbit is at the bottom of post #5.

First Deno had Howerton editing posts about him and now he's got JR doing it. whatthefvckever
