October 2013, Janet Atwell Fund...
GoPlayPool & Kamui Tips join forces to raise funds for Janet Atwell
ALISO VIEJO, CA – OCTOBER 14, 2013-
Janet Atwell grew up in Abingdon, VA with her younger brother and parents. They owned a market which, for a short time, even featured a coin-operated bar box. Years later, her love for the game would come back to her, and in 1999, Janet played in her first professionally sanctioned tournament. In 2004, she officially became a professional female pool player, and has even opened her own pool hall called Borderline Billiards in Bristol, TN. Janet has been an active member of the women's billiard community for a while now, and has made an impact on her fellow players and fans of the sport. Placing well in professional events and even winning titles such as the 2013 Virginia Women's 10-Ball Championships, Janet has definitely made a positive mark in the world of women's pool.
Recently, Janet was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo a very sudden double mastectomy. Within a short time she went from being un-diagnosed to starting her first round of chemotherapy. Janet is now looking at multiple rounds of treatments before she will find out whether or not she has beaten the cancer. However, her positive outlook on life continues to show why she's been successful in the world of pool and in life.
GoPlayPool.com has teamed up with Kamui Tips to raise funds that will help Janet with medical costs since she is uninsured while she undergoes the cancer treatments. Available at: http://POOLTOGETHER.GOPLAYPOOL.COM, people can purchase 2 different packages in which a portion of the proceeds will go to help Janet. One package is valued at $22.00 and contains a GoPlayPool.com t-shirt and patch. This package is being sold for only $15.00 and $5.00 of that will go directly to Janet. The second package contains a GoPlayPool.com t-shirt and patch, a Kamui patch and a voucher for a Kamui tip. The voucher for the Kamui tip alone is retailed at $25.00 and the entire package would retail for $50.00. This package is available for a very reasonable $30.00 with $20.00 of that going directly to Janet. Plus, if you just want to “donate to Janet” directly, that option is available as well.
Mary Ann Starkey, owner of GoPlayPool.com said "We are so happy that we are able to help Janet in any way we can. She is such a positive person, and we were shocked when we learned of her diagnosis and the sudden treatments that she would have to go through. Having recently seen a family member battling cancer, when I learned of Janet's diagnosis it touched me personally. We're in a position to help her, and that's exactly what we want to do. I really hope that our efforts will help ease the financial burden on Janet so she can focus on recovering and becoming cancer-free."
If you would like more information about the charitable packages being offered, you can visit http://POOLTOGETHER.GOPLAYPOOL.COM. (link not active as of 01/16/2016.
GoPlayPool has also created a tab on their free app which is available on iOS and Android. GoPlayPool would like to thank Mr. John Bertone and Kamui Tips for joining in our efforts to raise funds for Janet. The contribution is greatly appreciated.

GoPlayPool Releases Updated Directory and System - And includes new Membership packages to business ownersAliso Viejo, CA- October 4, 2017: GoPlayPool released its app, mobile site and website 5 years ago this September. Within days of the anniversary, they launched their newly updated system and directory. GoPlayPool features the most updated and current directory of pool halls and establishments featuring pool tables. With their newly updated system, users can now take advantage of the search engine, making it easier than ever to find places to play pool and more.
The directory itself has had a huge facelift and includes much more information than before. After thousands of hours of scouring the internet, making phone calls and even going on cross-country road trips, GoPlayPool owners, Ramin Bakhtiari and Mary Ann Starkey have personally gathered the information which is included in the directory listings. Users can quickly see which places have age restrictions and if they feature leagues and tournaments. They can also update information about a location as well as letting us know when locations close. They can also add rooms that we don’t have listed and give us detailed information. This information can also be updated and added by the business owners and management themselves. This is where the GoPlayPool Memberships come in.
Pool halls, bars, recreation facilities, bowling alleys, members-only establishments, and even gentlemen’s clubs are listed in our directory and each and every one of them can become a GoPlayPool Member Room. GoPlayPool offers monthly and yearly memberships, both of which are very affordable. Memberships allow businesses to promote any and all events, specials, tournaments and league information, as well as listing all of the entertainment amenities they offer. Everything from promoting dart leagues to showing off their food or drink menus can be included in their profile. Members can also use push notifications to let people know about special events. Push notifications target GoPlayPool users in specific areas. This might include a radius from a zip code, city, state or even nationwide. Businesses are also encouraged to promote military, student and membership discounts through GoPlayPool. The new search engine will also help users find places which offer these amenities.
Some might say they can already do all of that for free on their social media accounts. This is true. However, you’re advertising to the same people over and over again. GoPlayPool has a goal of helping businesses gain new customers as well as keeping their current fans updated on the latest happenings. GoPlayPool owner, Mary Ann Starkey says, “Our marketing efforts will help other businesses. Our users aren’t just pool players. They are college students, traveling truckers, and even people from across the world that frequently travel to the U.S. Not only do we believe we can help steer more customers to our Member Rooms, we believe that our members see more value in their profile on our system and therefore, do more to keep it updated and fresh. “
Another issue that might convince business owners and establishments to sign up with GoPlayPool is something that both GoPlayPool Co-Owners experienced in their pursuit to update the directory. Mary Ann said, “You’d be shocked at how many businesses are listed as being closed by Yelp, Facebook, Google and more. After checking personally and making phone calls, I discovered that there are a large amount of places that are probably losing out on a lot of business because of this.” When businesses become GoPlayPool Members, they can get tips and tricks to help boost their online presence and fix all of these issues that might be affecting their clientele. Mary Ann also stated, “I noticed a trend in phone calls. Places that I called which were supposedly closed, the employees didn’t seem to know much about the place they were working. They didn’t know how many pool tables there were or if there were tournaments. Informing hired employees should be priority number one if you’re to ever draw in curious callers or customers.”
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. GoPlayPool advises that they utilize Google Maps so all addresses are based off of the Google Map system. For example, a room that could be considered to be located in Los Angeles might actually be listed under Lakewood and vice versa. Despite this, the GoPlayPool system is now more organized and easier to use.
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 Member location.

Celebrating Anniversary and Expansion into Canada...
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.

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.
