Going to be a great tournament!! Not to say your list is inaccurate, but there's a dude in your "dead money" category that cashed in the pro event in Tucson last month.

Wow, that is one tough field, with 46 of the top 100 by Fargo (a number that is probably similar to what they got at the WPC). Interesting definition of dead money. My guess is that anyone under Fargo 725 is dead money in a field of this strength. That said, as we all know, dead money players make fairly deep runs on occasion.

It will take some very fine form to win this title. Other than the fact that it's ten ball, it's an excellent US Open warmup event for the elite.

I checked the top 25 and all of them are registered for the US Open. Given how hard it is to cross borders right now, it's nice that there is more than one event for the foreign players. I hope they can stick around for the International Open.

Thanks for the info, Bob.

I took the “party poopers” to be a group that could throw out a few upsets for top players, not a threat to actually win.

^^^^ should literally be 10 times higher.........

Anyone know if they’re going to swap tables between events?

I wonder if Diamond sponsoring the warmup tournament and predator sponsoring the main one will present issues in the future now that predator has their own table they’re trying to promote.

Its a warm up to the World 10 Ball. Now if they would only expand it from 64 players.

I am interested to see how they pull that one off as well. I do believe that is their plan.

I’m lower than dead money

 

[garczar]

why are they showing these two players????????

 

[Joe_Jaguar]

Maybe either Mika or Melville was a no show? Too bad they didn't put Pagulayan vs De La Garza on instead.

 

[jay helfert]

All this talent playing Races to Four! What a waste.
Does anyone know what the match format will be for the World Ten Ball? I hope it's a real match and not another fiasco like this one.
