This morning I submitted an idea for an "invention", they are going to seriously look at it to see if it's marketable. There might be some issues with a patent due to someone using a form of this type of tool in a book years ago, but I have to research it.
Just paid my entry fee and made hotel reservations for the IPT qualifier for the North American 8-ball Championship, it's amazing how easy it is to spend $1200 and yet it is so hard to make it. After reading "Think like Tiger" my game has turned around 180 degrees and I have more drive now than I ever have. Wish me luck, below are the links to the qualifying tournament and the tournament I am trying to qualify for:
