"We're expanding our coverage and distribution this year, because our pay-per-view partners still see value in the product, the sport and the market. If we show growth from last year’s performance we'll be one step closer to developing a much broader TV package, similar to NFL Sunday Ticket, MLS Shootout, NHL Center Ice, etc. This type of package would feature a series of top pro tournament events, which in turn would help increase the prize funds for each of those events. As a result, the players, event promoters, the fans and the industry as a whole will benefit. So, for only $9.95 pool and billiard fans can make a big impact on the future of pool on TV, not to mention getting a commercial-free, uncut tournament pro match in the comfort of home."
