. . . ANYWAYS....
My inquire was that I started NEARLY the exact same thing in the mid-90's where players send in their listing of pool playing places. I was listing the establishments NAME - ADDY - #Tables - FOOD - ETC.. But (always a but somewhere) at that early stages of the Internet, it didn't get much response so I dropped paying for that expensive website, it just wasn't panning out.
.
I DO WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK yours grows.
.

Clowns are funny though!

Glad we took you through memory lane!
We thought about doing the same thing, where players fill in the blanks, but after a bit of research back in 2010, we decided to build the directory ourselves and that is from scratch. One thing we didn't realize that it took us about 2 years to do it. And by the time we were ready to deploy, some rooms were closed, address and phone number changes, new rooms, equipment changes and so on...
So we released the directory in a very basic web format with no database configurations attached(search, filter, sort options and more...) until we could figure out a way to keep up with it, while we were building the database coding and styles.

The latest version with full functionality was released September 2017, technically our 5 year anniversary since the App went public. It allows the end user(yourself for example) to edit/add info to each listing with of course final verification on our end to change/add new data.
Please don't misunderstand, the database is still not perfect, in fact it will never be due to changes in so many variables involved on it. We get on average 10-15 edits/adds/deletes daily. That is a good thing in fact!

It is a massive database with search options, filters and more...
We are about to release the biggest section of them all: Coupons & Discounts, where room owners post their promotions, from table discounts, flat rates, lunch special, taco Tuesday to name it whatever you can think of and users can take advantage of it.
Plus, because we have an app(Android and iTunes), we can send out push notifications and alerts for their(rooms) upcoming events and much more..

We are already in talks with friends in Canada to do the same thing for Canada(The database is in the works as we speak)

We thank you for your interest and please do feel free to email us just to say hello and/or any questions you have. And if you have any adds/edits to be made on the system, please don't hesitate.
And don't forget the app is free, download it, use it, share it and rate it! It is always appreciated!

Have a great night!

GoPlayPool Celebrates 6th Year and Announces Expansion into Canada

As well as new membership benefits and advertising opportunities.
Aliso Viejo, CA- September 17, 2018: The GoPlayPool App has reached its 6th year in the industry. Owners, Ramin Bakhtiari and Mary Ann Starkey, would like to thank family, friends, and their many supporters. “Without everyone’s patience and support, we wouldn’t have made it this far.” The system, as a whole, is more organized and inclusive than ever before. In the last year, the directory of pool rooms has made a change by including more information about the establishments available to users. Each listing now includes basic information when available. Table types, sizes and counts, tournament and league availability are part of our basic listings. The GoPlayPool App is focused on the future of pool, so we also include age limits in our basic listings. We want to let our users know where junior players can practice, play and compete. GoPlayPool App Member Rooms can also post food and drink menus, entertainment, special events and much more.

GoPlayPool App users can also add, edit or delete pool rooms and their information directly through the free GoPlayPool App or the GoPlayPool website. This has created a user-based directory, which some have said is like a ‘pool version of Yelp’. It’s now easier than ever for pool room owners and managers to become members of the GoPlayPool App, which includes monthly and yearly memberships.

When pool rooms become members, they receive multiple benefits, which include a more descriptive listing and profile. These profiles contain everything from specific tournament and league information, coupons and discounts for users through our GoDeal$ Program, as well as push notifications to let GoPlayPool App users know about upcoming events in member rooms. And last but not least, members become part of the “Featured Listings” on the system.

The GoPlayPool App also contains an extensive flyer section, where pool rooms can post their event flyers for free. For those who are interested in posting flyers, it’s recommended to do so at least a month before the event to get as much exposure as possible.

As of August 2018, the GoPlayPool website has over 100,000 views a month. That’s a focused audience that is searching for pool related information. With more members and users than ever, the GoPlayPool App is going to be expanding their directory into Canada. Ramin Bakhtiari said, “We are very excited to move into the next phase of this company. Creating the directory for Canada will take some time, but we’ve seen the demand from players and pool rooms alike, so we’re expanding.”

If you already have the GoPlayPool App installed on your devices, it is recommended that you re-install the app to make sure the new features are updated. As always, there are no pop-up advertisements and users are not required to login to use the GoPlayPool App or website. For GoPlayPool App users, Mary Ann Starkey wants to remind them to “keep the notifications turned on so you can get updates and notifications about upcoming events.

The GoPlayPool App is available on both Android and Apple devices. It is 100% free to download and use. Visit www.GoPlayPool.com to learn more about the available features or to become a GoPlayPool App Member location.

Happy Holidays to all AZB-ers from our family to yours and hope it is a great season.

Nick's/ Triangle Billiards in Endicott NY no listing?

9' GC's + Diamond, one carom. Small pool hall, but Old school room, charm, owner, players. Unfortunately it's an hour from me, have not been out this past year since 9' bar options opened closer (The Office, Corning) Love Triangle, though.

Thanks for the info. Just added it to the directory!
Happy New Year!

I installed this on my Android phone and just assumed, as is the case for virtually every smartphone directory app out there, that there would be GPS functionality. No. Imagine my surprise.

When I travel for business, and I'm in my car at a light, or at my hotel, how the heck am I supposed to know what zip code I'm in?

In the works since 2014? When should we expect this?

That's feature request number 1.

2. Ability to comment on venues in the app, like "this place is closed," or write a review, etc.;
3. Include the url for the venue's website.

Thanks,

jv

Thanks for the input.
1.We just took the GPS out in November to add Canada to the directory and killing off some bugs. It will be added back on
2. The comment section, we don't want to copy what Yelp has done and working on a "Thumbs up/down" concept as we speak
3. Establishment's complete information is listed under the < i > icon under listings; from their website/facebook/yelp/twitter to other amenities and more!

Hope your travels are safe!

Thanks,

That is the idea of the App, Kent!

You may want to use more honey and less vinegar.

If you do go into the app and enter your zip code and a distance, it will find all the rooms in that area. You can then sort them by number of 9-foot tables, for example. A leading candidate, The Parlor in Bellevue, seems to have closed according to Google.
