When Bonus Ball first burst on the seen it seemed like everyone was excited. It was a new game that was to be propelling Billiards to a new height. I remember seeing Johnny Archer and Nick Varner at an exhibition and Johnny talking about something coming up for pool that was big. He was telling the truth! Bonus Ball I believe did in fact did something special for billiards.
It brought together some of the greatest players on earth. It also brought a new element of team play which has never been done before. It was was fun to watch the teams working together and figuring out different strategies. I had thought for the first time that billiards could get on the map like golf or football. I have been playing pool most of my life and wanted to see bonus ball make it.
Bonus Ball Arena is located in Las Vegas Nevada. It seemed like bonus ball struggled all the way to the everyday person like me. Having problems with the contractors and getting the streams to work properly. And now rumors that the players aren't getting paid. Not sure whats true anymore. But i do know this! As frustrated as some of the players are and the people that supported bonus ball.
I believe bonus ball will be back stronger than ever in some form or other. I just hope that the WPBL can over come and make billiards what it should be. For now we ask "what happened to bonus ball?" And when is it coming back? Well I guess we all have to stayed tuned to see what happens. For more info visit:
