Yes, indeedy! :thumbup:
Some of my best memories are Kieth in the pit.
the first year the sbe was at The Oaks SVB and a few other pros played in the Wednesday Warmup amateur event.
lunch money raid!
So true. My other half won $15,000 one year on that action table.
If anybody does get eliminated at the last minute for the amateur, they could jump in the Pro/Am event. That was always a fun tournament. :smile:

Lillis' current Fargo Rating is 645. Doesn't that place him well within the amateur ranks from a skill level?
And I don't think he has ever been a top pro despite the fact that he played in a lot of pro events. He did a lot of trick-shot shows, but I don't recall him ever finishing high in big pro tournaments.
LOL . Looks like I paid $100.00 to have someone sit me in the chair for 20 minutes. I wasn't expecting much. The bright side is I have a weekend pass
Wait, Josh Roberts as in the guy who people here have been talking up as a likely Mosconi Cup participant?
That's not amature..thats open to everyone so you cant complain about that
Just curious how Jonathan "Hennessy" Pinegar is considered an "amateur"???? I personally could care less but I know its gonna get brought up so why not now lol
That is correct.I believe this is the event Alex Olinger won a couple of years ago.

This is a great idea.Allen Hopkins did a pretty good job of policing the Open Amateur this year. But he will surely receive some flak for allowing these players to play IMO:
Ryan McCreesh, Jonathan Pingar (misspelled on the Players list ->should be spelled Pinegar), Joshua Roberts, Marc Vidal Claramunt, Ike Runnels (actually entered in Open Amateur & Seniors Amateur). Would be cool if he would just place all 5 of these guys right next to each other in the same bracket......then only 1 could advance to the money......teach them a lesson for trying to "sneak in"........Good Luck Chris B
actually, it was an amateur event. at the time, I spoke with the director lady at the tourney desk about it. :wink:
EDIT: Just went to the SBE website. The Wednesday Warmup is *still listed* as an Amateur event.
Well all I can tell you this I have always seen pro's in it since it's inception and a close friend has worked the tournament desk for a decade and he said all our welcome in the warm up. Honestly for the little money it costs I think it would be awesome to seen svb
On the other side of the table lol
Brian,
Allen bars any player who finishes in the top 16 players at the most recent Turning Stone events. Unfortunately Greg got caught up in this silliness. My friend Ron Casanzio can not play in the Amateur events for the same reason.
<snip> What ever happened to the "known ability" clause?
JMHO.

Yeah? How often you gonna be ok with that?
Once per year.
The warmup has always allowed anyone to walk up and register. Generally you can see who is in vicinity during signup and that will be your bracket. So if SVB scares you dont stand beside him during signup.
