I'm in for 1.07%, unless I draw you.
Good luck Flea, I trust you'll go deep if given the opportunity to play.

Anyone here know how someone can get Sponsorship for tournament expenses? I'm playing in the US Am's in November
To be honest there is nothing in it for the sponsor. What you need is someone or several people who have an interest beyond some bottom line is it a good investment. My wife gives money to things that have zero return but are her interests. I just got back from an animal shelter where we have chosen a dog we think is worth getting a home for. We have sponsored all the expenses and today we found someone to adopt the dog. You can't save them all, and many really are not worth it, but you can do something.
Back to you, you may even have a family member who will help you. Maybe a fan from the pool room. Maybe the pool room it's self would want to help out. This has to be sort of a think outside of the box thing. You may have a resource you don't even know of. When you say tournament expenses, you are referring to more then just the entry fee I assume. It is also your responsibility to keep costs at a minimum. This is not a vacation on someone else's dime. You need to be responsible about what you may be offered.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think the total costs will be? What is the prize fund in the tournament? Is there any possibility of breaking even if you finished in say the top 6 or 8?

Hmmm...maybe a flea market will sponsor him.
If not, I'm in for anything that KK9 wants to do.
Here's my 2 pennies...
Play the tournament. By that I mean commit to playing this event yourself by entering and paying the entry fee upfront. Looking for a sponsor may become easier if interested parties can see that you already have; 1 the game and 2 (most important) the commitment. Then it becomes a case of meeting you half way, and like posts above clearly read you may just unearth an unexpected source that seeks no return of investment :thumbup:

Entry & Hotel is paid for. Travel and food is the only expenses left. I will let others speak about my ability (Game) Commitment can be found in the thread: 2010 Us Open Journey:thumbup:
Hey Brother Flea, i dont have much to give, but when i get paid next thursday iam willing to put 25 in the pot for you.
If we can get something going on here where who ever wants to and can afford it to put up 25 dollars to send you on your way that would be just great!
I saw you play at that open. I will pitch in. Set up a PayPal account to collect the funds.

Who are you
I may have pressed a link. But none was offered. I'm not going to look for it.
Who are you? Perhaps you should introduce yourself. There are people on this forum that can help you. Tell us why? And PRECISELY how much you need.

Wait... so you are saying that instead of sponsorship he needs to be put down? Sorry I get confused easily.
Are you serious? The tournament last two days. If you can't eat for two days on $100, you've got serious problems. The OP lives in AL, and the tournament is in FL. Gas is another $100 tops.

I do not know the location of the event, but if there is a Del Taco there. Try the Under A Buck Menu, at the end of Two Day you will have change left from your 100 BUCKS.
May be you do, may be you don't?
I don't think I know you
Only a face to face meet would determine this :thumbup:

Really, that was not my intension. I thought I gave him some good food for thought. I have no idea who he is, I actually from the nature of his request thought he was a young kid. It all sounded kind of silly. If this is a grown man it sounds even more silly.
You played well. Congratulations.
Congratulations Carlos! You played well to make it to the finals. The stream table was playing quite a bit tougher than the other tables, according to several players who also played there. I didn't get to commentate your match (it was my anniversary), but I did catch some of your match! Well done, and good luck next year! :thumbup:
