If there's no shuttle, i'll come and get you. I'm not going to miss this one. I'm pretty sure you won't either.

I'll give you a call.

Four Bears 8ball Classic is an non-profit organization that was started in 1991 by friends and family of the late Kelly Demeray Here in New Town, North Dakota. Our objective was to host a memorial pool tournament for Kelley , but after the 4 year memorial period the tournament grew and so it was continued and is now one of the biggest pool tournament in the Midwest . Our objective has changed since changing from a memorial tournament to the Four Bears 8ball Classic, our goal now is and has been since 1995 to promote the game of pool and billiards while bringing top professional and armature players together to compete in a first class and enjoyable environment. we host the tournament at the Four Bears Casino and lodge, the casino has added 120 more rooms, a new steak house and provides us a event center big enough to hold a 1st class event. with some sponsor help, donations and fund raising we hope to provide the players with the best tables, promotions and payouts.

For tournament history, past winners, you can go to www.4bearsclassic.com

On April 18, 2013, Four Bears 8ball Classic Committee and Four Bears Casino will be hosting the 22nd ANNUAL 8BALL TOURNAMENT AT THE CASINO EVENT CENTER. In order to stage such a big event, it will incur a lot of expenditure, from the cost of pool tables; table lights, live stream and sound equipment, and advertising . we are asking and hoping for any help in making our goals, Any products donated would go to the players or raffled and given out during tournament.

In return for your generosity, the name of your company will appear on our posters, banners, tournament books and advertisements, and brochure). Our tournament is well advertised and established in the United States with professional and amateur players coming from all over the USA and Canada. Last year we had players from 22 states and canada represented. Over 200 players total.

Any products, cues, cases, etc. will be used for awards and or door raffles and prizes for players entered in the tournaments.

If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me.

I will have to tell you this before you head out that way. If you are invited into the booth to do commentary with me (and you will be if you are there), you will be required to sign a contract which states that you will have to give up some of your trade secrets while doing commentary with me. It is a standard contract that all professional players sign to. TOI since it has been discussed so much in the forum will not be allowed to cover as one of the secrets. We will have to cover some additional ground and I have some thoughts about that area but will spring it on you if you show up and agree to the contract.

From New Orleans it was $406 RT. I missed out on $379 because I was too slow on the draw. :D The interesting things about airlines is they jockey those prices around like a bass fisherman throws a lure.

If you wait until the last minute they will stick it to you so don't delay.

CJ, if you make the trip, that will be a good time to fulfill your end of our bet. :wink: :yeah: (This is a fun event) If you get the chance you might read my review from last year's event. Maybe someone can share a link to it.
