It is scheduled for Monday to Friday. The weekend before there is a Joss tour stop in Utica (about a 3-hour drive from Windsor Locks). I think the dates are about as good as you could get.

Thoroughly enjoyed last year's event. Spectating with food and drink at one's back made it even more enjoyable. Mark Kulungian is an excellent host. If the field remains small, there might be a surprise at the end.
By the way, if there were a Golden Age of Straight Pool, the De Oro, Taberski, Ponzi, Greenleaf, Mosconi, Crane, for example, the fields were remarkably small by today's standards.

listed as April 10-14, but anyone know when things really start up? is the first day (Monday) really just a players' meeting, or is there actual play then? any other hints about the schedule?
i am definitely going, but don't want to kill a Monday for zero matches or 1 match...

Last year, when they had 20 players, play did start on the first evening. But this year .... ?
I have heard second hand that the matches will start at 4PM on Monday. I'm basing my arrival time on that rumor.
Why do you think there is such a small showing? Super Billiards expo, Appleton's 8 ball tour, and this tournament. All in a two week span. Why aren't more players staying in the area for all three tournaments? Souquet played in New York. Why is he not here?
The pool hall is nice. Nice hosts. Plenty of hotels that are not really expensive. Cheaper than the hotels closest to SBE, And way cheaper than anything in NY.
I will be there Wed thru Fri. Hope to see a good turn out of fans.

yeah even though the turnout is small, these are some very strong 14.1 players.

Qualifiers
How many players do the get at the qualifying tournaments ?

Probably "high break".
We had four in the California qualifier. One problem is that it was scheduled for only two weeks before the Open and it is harder to arrange travel/vacation on short notice. It's possible I was the only player in the qualifier who could/would have gone.
