Most weekly/monthly tournaments around Austin are $10-$20.

Does anybody know how many of these tournaments they put on?

those tiny entry fees and small added is really to get more people coming into the place not for making anything that day.

some do with drinks and such but limited.

small tournaments are an advertising and promotional gimmick.

if looking for 10 dollar tournaments, you are either a young teenager, a really bad banger, or need to find a higher paying profession.

This place was big and had a lot of tables (~40). That tournament started at noon and was always over by 3. So for that large room that could free up tables fast, it was a huge money maker drawing in all those players so early. Granted, nobody drove any distance for that small money, but we had a half dozen strong shortstops that were always there looking to pick up a few hundred from only gambling a sawbuck.

Is this still for sale?

I'd suggest a bar with a single table.

And a table for you at home.

I do this once a year:

1. 600 grit sandpaper to your cue and ferrule
2. then a thin magic eraser sheet
3. then finally use the green side of a Q-Wiz to finish
4. burnish (light brown leather side) with Q-Wiz (optional step)

I do steps 2 and 3 more than once a year to clean up the shaft after almost daily play. Many positive comments on feel and condition from other players when they occasionally shoot a few shots with my cues. Never have waxed a shaft and never have had to wipe it down or use a glove during play or between tuning clean ups...
