I agree, even with the $425 fee to play, DP charged over $600 and still drew over 120 players so less than 32 wouldn't be good. I know Shane had trouble rationalizing paying $1500 to come back to the US between the Philippine Open and the China Open to maybe win a little more than that. So he...

Interesting...Wasn't it advertised as a 64 player tournament? Even if a lot of the top pros don't attend, surely there are other strong players they could have invited to fill those 64 spots.

Shane is not attending afterall...he is staying in the Philippines until the China Open.

My suggestion is go look at some of the Poison cues. They are the same quality but at a lower price point. The Poison brand is owned and manufactured by Predator so you get the same quality and you can always request an upgraded shaft (314-2 or z-2) with your order in addition to OR instead of...

I'm getting excited! The fact that this pays to 50% of the field makes it VERY reasonable. Any Texas ladies that want to go PM me...we have some very reasonable lodging options and lots of girls traveling together. It will be a fun weekend!

That's Borana Andoni...same girl as the one in Bartram's avatar. And she plays better than OK...She's VERY close to beginning to win some WPBA qualifiers. Her and I are going out to Bristol, TN for the MALT tour stop next weekend...everyone in the area should come out and support us! :)

Well Monica...the next step then is to convince a TEXAS poolhall to host one! I know you girls have some connections ;)

I just registered! Can't wait for it. I think this tour is going to be great for the WPBA.

I think I'm going to make it to this one.

I saw the "rail tard" who did this and it was, in fact, the Black Widow herself :)

Juegabillar, Thanks for the link correction, I was just going by memory which was obviously a bad one :) I don't know for sure how they are chosen but I believe it's done by rankings and I think two male and two female players were chosen. Usually the tournaments contacts the WPBA and Jerry...

I don't think this is true. If pool was in the Olympics I am sure that many of the top players would play just for the honor of playing in it--not to mention the type of TV exposure they would get. The World Games in coming up next month & (just like the Olympics) it does not pay out prize...

I believe (for these regional tour purposes) a "Pro" is an EXEMPT WPBA player. I know that the top 40 at the end of the previous year are considered "Exempt" for the next year but I believe there are a few other ways to earn your exemption as well but I don't know many details about that. For...

They did open up the event at the end and offered the remaining spots to ANYONE at the Riv that wanted to play. Yes, it was invitation only initially, but they did have open spots at the end that some people signed up for on-site.

True, I'm not saying something like that is okay. I'm just saying, the threads about that happened way before I became a member on this forum, I have never had a negative experience with CW and will reserve judgement on him until or unless I do have a bad experience with him. There are plenty...

Btw, the guy that won the Grand Masters division (going undefeated beating SVB & Roberto Gomez on his way to the win) was NOT one of the touring pros that was there to also play in the Pro 10-Ball event. And I think it's safe to argue that there is a decent number of "Grand Master" players that...

I believe they recently held a 3-cushion celebrity event in Asia with an Asian pop-star and a supermodel. http://www.azbilliards.com/2000storya.php?storynum=6042 http://www.azbilliards.com/2000storya.php?storynum=6101 I don't believe these articles I listed were charity events but I know they...

I could very well be wrong about this but I believe that the touring pros have ALWAYS been eligible for the Grand Masters Division. In the past, none have played in the BCAPL event if they were playing in the Predator International 10-ball event because the tournaments were during the same...

I noticed someone asked "who is considered a masters player". Because they are allowing ALL players, they are working with all of the league systems to get determinations on what is a master in each league. If a player does not belong to a league, the tournament staff will determine their rank...

Thanks for the kind words. That was me. As FatBoy said in another thread, unlike other days at this same event, we only had a very small (probably 5") screen to view the match on. Today the View of the table was blocked by a giant scoreboard and the main HUGE screen that has ALL camera views on...
