I don't even want to get going on the ridiculous idea of having an amateur event at the canadians where some guy who has no clue gets to decide on what is and what is not an amateur.(like that doesn't open the door for some favoritism) Just feel fortunate that a bunch of guys from the west didn't show up and stick the guy with the job of trying to figure out what event a bunch of strangers(that he's never seen holding a cue before) should be allowed to play in.
It would have been almost as laughable as when the stan james tour came out here and someone from the east set up the odds payouts for the stan james website. Nothing finer than someone who doesn't know 50%+ of the field figuring out who the real players are. I'm sure stan james learned their lesson when one of the 67-1 shot delivered some dough home to the locals. :wink:
Not a big fan of the "Amatuer" 9-Ball event period.
What I saw this year with quite a few players with lots of game that should have been playing in the Open division....again, with all due respect to the CBSA, not a fan of the whole concept....don't get it myself!
