Two of the upcoming WNT ranking events canceled

where does it say yuma event may be up in the air?
I was basing it on the fact that MR has already cancelled two events very close to their dates and the OP's comment in the first post: Scott Frost posted on Facebook earlier today pleading for more signups for the Yuma Open.

It's a 128-player, single-elimination bracket. That's tough action and travel expenses for an event that's essentially in the middle of nowhere.

Who are the greatest players ever who were not big gamblers?

When gambling, if you lose, you can keep on playing until you lose all the money in your pocket or start to win.
In tournaments, you lose twice and your out, can’t continue to play.
If it’s a small local tournament than maybe the pressure of gambling is higher, depends on the effect on your life if you lose.
If you travel to the other side of the world risking a lot of money covering expenses and you lose twice and go home, that’s a total different pressure that no gambling can match. Unless you are an amateur with no expectations and just travel for the fun of it.
If you gamble more than you can afford to lose, than this is something completely different, then you’re an idiot and I don’t know if idiots feel pressure
What a long way for you to say, “no I don’t gamble”.

Two of the upcoming WNT ranking events canceled

Justin Bergman was just on the Boom and Freezer podcast and they discussed the upcoming WNT schedule. Bobby mentioned that the Raxx event had already been cancelled but they were still planning to have the Yale Billiards event at his room in CT. It now sounds like the Yuma event may be up in the air. In the past couple of years, the Battle of the bull in Roanoke, Virgina was a WNT event in August but for whatever reason, is not on the calendar this year. Hopefully they get things sorted because it will certainly cause spectators to use more caution when making plans to attend future events.

Side note, I really enjoyed the podcast with Justin. He comes across as very likable and I'm glad to hear he's planning to play in more events this year with the hope of making the Mosconi team.

agree, i like bergman. he touched on the not flying thing. driving to yuma is quite a drive
