“DIAMOND supports the young pool players of today! As the youth of today advance in the great sport of billiards, they learn that dedication, fortitude, and hard work improve their game and better prepares them to become successful adults”. DIAMOND wishes all of the players great success at the upcoming 2020 9-Ball Junior International Championships! “ said Chad Scharlow, VP, Diamond Billiard Products Inc.
“I’m glad to be working with such a trusted brand as Diamond”, says Ra Hanna, Owner, OTW “This partnership will be focused on continuing to invest and support the junior players in all facets of their billiard careers.”
Diamonds Greg Sullivan has expressed his extreme remorse about the fact that no one under the age of 21 will be allowed in the Casino at the Derby City Classic.
This was not a decision made by Diamond, but by the Indiana Gaming Commission.
“You must be 21 and over to attend the event. The move from a riverboat casino to a land-based casino has turned all meeting space over to the jurisdiction of the Indiana Gaming Commission. The laws in Indiana dictate that everyone must be 21 years or older to attend any function within the designated space and that includes the Derby City Classic”
“As demand for pool grows in a post-pandemic world, we will see new participants on home tables in the coming months, and we want to support them in any way we can. Part of that is unlocking more livestream programming and making the experience that much more enjoyable,” said Ra Hanna, OTW. “Diamond is a great partner to continue to help us reach a broader array of viewers.”
