 | East V West: IPT Hosts Challenge Match
Francisco Bustamante vs. Corey Deuel!
CONGRATULATIONS FRANCISCO BUSTAMANTE!
The International Pool Tour "East vs. West" match was dominated by Francisco Bustamante of the Philippines. He beat Corey Deuel 15-8. While the score doesn't reflect it, Deuel played very well. However, Bustamante was in top form and performing expert run-outs from everywhere! The match is now available, through the end of January, for free on the International Pool Tour web site.
Sponsors for the Bustamante vs. Deuel event include: Kevin Trudeau's books "Natural Cures 'they' Don't Want You to Know About," "More Natural Cures Revealed," the "Weight Loss Cure 'they' Don't Want You to Know About," and the "Debt Cure 'they' Don't Want You to Know About. Other sponsors are the Master Rack, Diamond Billiard Products, Billiardcue.com, Laser Stroke, Incentives International, Hustlin USA, and LEANI Slate.
The Future of the IPT
(From Kevin Trudeau to IPT qualified players)
We are close to having a fully revised business model for the IPT. We will be giving you more details in the coming months. The IPT office has been instructed to send out an email every two weeks with updates and answers to questions that are commonly being asked. This will start in September and hopefully will help to keep you up to date on the IPT as we prepare to re-launch the tour.
 There are two formats that we will be pursuing:
One-on-One live matches broadcast on the IPT website. By the end of this year, the IPT will start having live one-on-one matches broadcast on the IPT website. These will be heads-up matches with long races consisting of great players and match-ups, with a couple of twists of course. These matches will be broadcast on the IPT website and available for viewing all over the world to paying members of the IPT web site. These matches will have live commentary. They will be archived and available for viewing at any time in the future to members of the IPT web site. We intend on investing substantial resources in advertising these matches through various media outlets such as television, newspapers, magazines, radio, and the Internet.
Future Tournaments- the IPT does intend on having large tournaments in the future. It is our intention to have an IPT 2008 World Open 8-Ball Championship! We intend on having all the prize money held in escrow by a well respected accounting firm available for verification by all players. This event will be broadcast in the highest quality, live on the IPT web site. Selected matches from this tournament may also be broadcast on TV media outlets as the IPT has done in the past.
I want to personally thank the vast majority of players for their overwhelming support and encouragement. It would be very easy to throw in the towel and simply say that the IPT business venture did not work. However, my love for pool and my strong desire to see the players elevated to a high level both financially as well as in respect from the sports community has given me the motivation to take the heat and continue to press forward. Nothing would please me more than in the next few years to see the IPT in full swing all around the world. It has been said that the success of the man is not determined by how high he climbs, but rather by how high he bounces when he hits the bottom! Failing in business is common. Stumbling, falling, and hitting the bottom is also common. What is not common is to see a man get up and fight again. There are no guarantees for the future and where the IPT will go, only time will tell. What is guaranteed is that there are dedicated people at the IPT whose persistence, determination, and vision for its success is unwavering.
Hopefully in the next few weeks, we will be giving you updates on the first of many one-on-one heads-up matches that will be broadcast on the IPT web site. Thank you again for your support, patience, and many words of encouragement.
Very truly yours,
Kevin Trudeau
Founder, IPT
