Not to mention the first sign up last year was on July 8th. I'm confident the field will be full.

I find it hard to believe it fills up. I'll bet you $50 it doesn't fill unless they lower the entry fee.

if the additional $128K+/- aren't required to be secured, and last year in JUL the entry was reduced to $750 from $1000, and the last entries were accounted for <2wks prior to Opening, and still players/vendors weren't paid -
- will the person in charge of the money & books disclose this pertinent info to the fans, players, vendors, employees, et al, so that they can make better informed o-o-p decisions?
- if these $128K funds aren't secured, what guarantee do they have of refund against the $75K in escrow? and does it even apply in the Contract with AccuStats?
Based upon your performance as BB spokesmodel last year, when you ran around here with pom-poms and said how wonderful everything was going/going to be, and then disappeared when TSHTF, I'd say you should be issuing the Extra Large Grains of Salt this year.

I'll take that bet.

I'm not sure where the $128k number is coming from pinky. All I know is that Barry is only on the hook for the $75k added money. Obviously he is on the hook for all the other stuff too as far as venue, bleachers and general operating costs. However that's not part of the deal with Accu-Stats from what I gather. So, for right now its the $75k and a couple of people have said that $50k+ has been accounted for. So we shall see.
i'd thought originally, that the entire pot would be in escrow to protect the players - but AtLarge said it's only $75K added. so what about the other $1K per player entry? (this is not directed at Pat in any way.)
a smart business person would put a deadline on the entry, to ensure that by JUL 25 (90 days out & 1 year's notice), all monies were accounted for & secured & it's kum-ba-ya for all! pretty simple accountng 101.
and "the money-man" should convey any unscrupulous info that could affect many to the tune of $$$$$$ - specifically Jay. MANY consumers (& players) ate LOTS of $$$$$$ last year (and the year before, and the year before that) because NO ONE said anything, about anything.
this has "red flag" written all over it.

My comment was that only the 75k had to be in with Pat by the July deadline. Pat is also collecting the entry fees, but they will come in for a long time after the 75k deadline.
I hope all the Luck to Barry on this location...

Just letting all be aware.
this is going to be brutal and people don't realize it I was waiting for someone to bring it up
We've already raked Barry through the coals. Pat Fleming's integrity has been called into question. Then there were darts thrown at Roberta. Now it's the new venue site at the Sherton. People complained about the previous venue being shoddy, but this new venue isn't good enough, I guess, even though nobody has been to attend a U.S. Open yet.
What else can we find wrong? Next?
I was and still am supporting an event I believe in. I do believe, with the right changes that are in place, that it will be a great event. There was no disappearing, it's called needing a break from all the craziness & a chance to catch my breath. But, sorry to disappoint some of you, I'm not going anywhere.

Out of the loudest whining complainers in this thread, I wonder how many of them are planning on playing or attending?
Have you ever gone, or do you just like running things (and people) down on the internet?
My point was that last year you went on about how everything at the Open was going to be great, perfect, the best (not even close); how Barry was going to do everything he promised (really?); that you personally worked on the floor plan and seating (how’d that work out?); that you were BB's personal assistant/bookkeeper (yet until Pinky hounded you it wasn’t until February that you got around to paying four players because things “fell though the cracks”).
So like I said, this year, when you ballyhoo on BB’s behalf, people should be ready to check their sodium intake because your credibility as a spokesmodel tanked last year.
