Why do you think has lowered the participation of players in national tournaments?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Simple: money. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Displacements are expensive, hotels are not cheap and the crisis does not help. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Now the player has the same desire to compete as before, but on the economy has become much more selective. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Instead of playing 20 tournaments a year, it plays eight well-chosen, which will not affect both the pocket. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When Spain out of this mess and get things back to normal, the player will compete as usual. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Already you will see it!<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">&#8211; Where do you think you can be the solution?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A solution? <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Cheapen because enrollments increase tournaments and counting prizes sponsors. <\/font><\/font><strong> <\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, a club can talk to their suppliers, and &#8220;them out&#8221; a little Coca Cola, a little to the <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">beer, as <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">much to potatoes, etc etc &#8230; and thus get extra money to add to the awards , cheapening the inscriptions. <\/font><\/font><strong> <\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Or innovate putting &#8220;extra&#8221; awards. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, the &#8220;Coca Cola prize&#8221; Euro X, the player who makes more series. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We must draw on imagination, and copying good ideas.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">&#8211; Why do you think that in Spain the pool is not a very attractive sport for the media?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I think because there is no competition nationwide them attractive. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And, what is, it has not been released correctly. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Federation is not far from what it should be, because it only handles caroms, leaving the pool under a private entity. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I do not think it an attractive situation for strings, which lost a great show.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There would be a solution. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I have long had a billiard room, and I had trouble reaching an agreement with local television station to broadcast tournaments and league (which did not materialize, as the owner of the room, change Billiards a nightclub &#8230; so he was!). <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When a club organizes a tournament, it could offer it to the local chains (which always need material and are receptive), which makes potential sponsors of the area are encouraged and contribute something &#8230; Maybe with time you can qualify for a bigger chain , such as the regional and, if successful (I&#8217;m sure he would), large chains, alone, would be interested in our events.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As for the press, I think it is shameful that not echo the feats of our players in international tournaments are made.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">&#8211; What would you say to young people so that he was encouraged to practice?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Because the pool is a healthy sport. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Develops the mind and coordination. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Federation is authorized to conduct doping controls, so that while the kid is stuck in the pool, will not be out there doing &#8220;other things&#8221; <\/font><\/font><strong> <\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(That would tell parents, hehe).<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The kid who comes to this world would tell you will not regret it <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">. <\/font><\/font><strong> <\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Many people know, traveling. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The competition is clean. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In 99% of cases the maxim &#8220;is a gentleman &#8216;s <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">sport&#8221; is true. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is a game that, far from being just &#8220;push balls&#8221; hooked. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When you start, you see the players so far that seems impossible to play well, but eventually you get to acquire certain level (not without effort and dedication), and the feeling of playing face to face (and occasionally win ) elite players, it&#8217;s amazing &#8230;<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Must be taken into account, making comparison with football, David Alcaide, Pakito, Hair and those players, equivalent to Casillas, Iniesta and Villa of football &#8230; and here we have the possibility not only see them, but to play directly against them. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What , <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">other sport offers such a <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">possibility? <\/font><\/font><strong> <\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Sometimes it <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">seems incredible things that can be done with a stick and a few balls. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(as an <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">example, you can see on Youtube, videos Venom Shot Trich).&nbsp;<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">&#8211;
