The 2015 Ginky Memorial Amateur Event is officially sold out at 192 players! We will be posting the list at some point today! There are a number of players that have not paid their entries.
Please keep in mind that you are not guaranteed a spot if you haven't paid your entry in full by Sunday, May 17. Also, all entries are non-refundable after Monday, May 18. So please make sure that you will be attending as your entry will be factored in the payouts after May 18.
All players can drop off their entry at Steinway Poolhall in a sealed envelope along with your full name, e-mail address, cell number as well as skill level.
YOU MUST VERIFY YOUR SKILL LEVEL WITH ME BEFORE YOU DROP OFF YOUR ENTRY ASSUMING YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!
VERY IMPORTANT: THERE IS A DRESS CODE FOR THE GINKY MEMORIAL! ALL PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR DRESS SLACKS, DRESS SHOES AND A COLLARED SHIRT FOR THIS TOURNAMENT!!!
The amateur event will be starting at 10AM SHARP on Saturday, May 23. Most players show up at 9:30AM every year as we always have a moment of silence for Ginky before we start the event. Doors will open at 9AM so please make sure that you get there on time or risk forfeiting your match.
The Open/Pro Event will be starting at 3PM on Sunday.
The draw will be done at Steinway Billiards at 9PM on Wednesday, May 20.
As always, UpState AL will be there streaming the event live and Alison Fischer and Jerry Tarantola will be Co-Producing it as well as covering the event!
The Tri-State Tour, Mezz Pro-Am Tour & The Predator Pro/Am Tour are very proud to join forces once again and come together as one family to honor the great George SanSouci!
Between Gail Robles, William Finnegan, Ron Mason, John Leyman, Todd Fleitman, Jose Burgos, Mandy Wu, Joseph DeVito, Irene Kim, Manny Stamatakis, Anna Nikolakakos, Nikolakakos Georgios, Robert Staskowski, Predator Cues and all our tour sponsors as well as the people mentioned above, we make one hell of a team and put our heart and soul into this event each and every year.
My goal when I started the tour in 2008 was to one day have an event with 200+ players and with 192 amateurs already signed-up along with 64 pros, we have reached our goal! I'm super proud of my team and am elated that we have finally reached that milestone! But more importantly, this wouldn't be possible without the support of the room owners, fans, spectators and YOU THE PLAYERS!
Thank you all for your support throughout the years!
We're look forward to our biggest event yet and seeing everyone next week!
Tony Robles
