Really? Update to a week later...HUNDREDS of confirmed cases in FL...from Miami to Tampa. Guess your estimate was a little off.

Miami Beach Mayor Says 'Zika Threat Continues to Grow,' as More Mosquitoes With Zika Found
http://abcnews.go.com/US/miami-beach-mayor-zika-threat-continues-grow-mosquitoes/story?id=41993701

I guess what I don't get is (at least on the amateur side anyway for this event) when there's a 'full field' with a waiting list for over a month and a half out in time from the event and a player (family) chooses not to risk the CDC and WHO's Miami travel advisory warning to not travel to Miami, why should the TD punish the players by not refunding their prepaid entry?
There are players inline (on the waiting list) to take the place of a player wishing to protect their family... For us amatuer players pool isn't how we are making a living.. its an option. We are the people who are actually trying to support pool but with decisions like this (ie not refunds/ or pre paid entry into future events) it makes it hard to justify future support in events (TD's) that throw all caution in the win in the name of PROFIT...
Think about it... who's keeping who's money?? Who's getting paid DOUBLE Entry fee?? ... I've spoken with multiple pro's over the past couple of weeks about this issue all of which couldn't understand why (with a standing waiting list) it necessary to keep anyone prepaid entry money if they could not make the tournament...especially due to this type of 'nation crisis'. Hopefully this issue will be reconsidered by the TD in the near future for those concerned about their families re: the ZIKA Virus issues.

For those that can remember Tunica Miss a couple of years back...re Mosquitoes ..
Also Google seems to work pretty well like this:

Fwiw,
Looks like I'm actually NOT 'the only one'...that doesn't want to take the risk of Zika.
..."Florida's tourism industry is likely to take a big hit this fall as million's of Americans say they won't be traveling to the Sunshine State amid concerns over the Zika virus."

Randy...How dare you post relevant facts regarding the Zika virus? LOL It makes zero sense why VV wouldn't either refund your entry, or give you guaranteed entry into a future event.

There is a Euro event in Belgium and they are not allowed to play in an alternate event if it conflicts with their own. Generally speaking, the Chinese are not going to travel for a 'first time event' in the USA. Would you?
I logged into the stream earlier from my phone. The video feed kept starting and stopping. I was using 4G. I'm going to try it from my home wifi here in a bit.
I was meaning Jasmin not Albin, and the women's side of the event. Maybe locking it at 64 stopped some late signings. Funny, I don't even think of the other Ouschan but guess I should now that he won the WPA.
So how did the stream turn out yesterday? Looking good for today?
I was better last night on my laptop. Still some freeze issues. Haven't tried today.

Yeah-It's hot as hell down here and there was someone in the arena who stunk the whole place up. I had to leave 5 minutes after paying.
They have VIP seats for $25/day and bleachers for $15 but u cant see the set up first NOR can you pay the $15 go inside take a look and then decide to come back out and upgrade to the VIP. I almost left at that point and i wish i had.
Hi Vivian, just want to say thank you for what you are doing for the game of pool..the stream is choppy at times, but over all it's great. Love the venue set up. There are people out there who complains a lot and expect things to be perfect. I'm sure you don't let them discourage you. Keep it up... We need more people like you and tournaments like these..... Marco
Second that
Nothing like weak minded excuse makers :boring2:
