Missouri State 9 ball tourney in Springfield Mo.
- Thread starter markpatrick
- Start date
Bad scheduling, plus I really don't like the fact that it's limited to only 80 players and it's only a race to 6.
What do you expect?
Hell the flyers are still on their way to some of the previous players homes.
Sure will make for a COLD February for those that attend this thing.
I think Millersburg may be easy pickin's on Saturday.

When examined
Based on lodging, gas, food, entry and your time. If time is FREE you would have to place 4th or better just to cover your cost.
Sounds brutal, unless you live close to te venue where those cost are nominal.
I guess it will be the $30 entry fee 8 ball tourney in Millersburg on Saturday the 13th for me, little to no overhead. One day event.

No problem, Mark. In defense of this tournament, you do get to play a lot of pool. The player is guaranteed 7 matches of 9-ball race to 6. If you make to Sunday, you are in the money and guaranteed 4 more matches of race to 6. If you make it to the finals (top 12 out of 25) then it is a double elimination tournament. Plus there are not many tournaments in this area played on the 4 1/2 x 9's and it is a prestigious tournament to win. Looking at it as purely economical stance, it may not be the best odds for the money lay out. It does pay well if you win though.
I agree
We have a 10 ball at Teachers St Peters,Mo in March, same format. But it is on bar tables.
I will post a flyer when I get one.
If there was an auction? At Springfield. I might drive down for that and buy you.

:smile:
They don't do an auction. I'm probably not going to make it this year. I'm on call for work and since it's Valentine weekend no one wants to cover. I may try to get to the 10 ball tourny in St. Louis.
I will start a thread
I will start a thread as soon as I get a flyer.
I think it is the weekend after the Break tournament.

No - there is a scheduling change by the Break tournament so now it is the same weekend. Brutal.
Don't be so sure... we had 100 players in Beloit last VD... none were prepaid
With that type of turnout, you should've scheduled another one for this year.
What Brainiac came up with that?
I guess some of the better Missouri Players will play at Teachers and the road players and some local players will play at the Break. Good new is that the auction for Teacher's should be Friday night and the Break on Sunday.
Nice little drive between the venues. About the same distance to each of them for me.

So who is going to Billiards in Springfield? I might stop in on Saturday to see how it's going and look for familiar faces.
Go Sunday for the Finals.
I would go Friday for the finals but they do not have a player auction?
Dennis Bullock will be the sole player from our MO8 team to play in this.

I thought they were going to open it up to 96 players
Since you are from there, I would have to say someone is NOT going to make it, so good luck getting in.
How did you finish last Saturday? number 2?

Any updates on the tournament action? I stopped in there just long enough to say hello to Darren and Phil yesterday. Things looked even busier than I expected and it was a little difficult to have a conversation for all the noise.
Didn't even look at the score sheet. Only saw a handful of players that looked familiar.

Results most likely by word of mouth?
I know a guy that went down for the event, I will not see him till pool league Wednesday but hopefully a local from Springfield will post the results so we will know who the Mo State 9 ball champion is this year and who ate their dust.
I was with the 2nd place finisher yesterday. Dustin Dunham in Union Missouri, had 16 players, bar added 175 and the auction and tourney 1st place was over 560 bucks. Over by 11 p.m. Dustin double dipped my horse, but can you guess who I had in the auction?
