I believe it will have a ton of barboxes versus the DCC only having 1 bar table and 60 big tracks. I also believe there will be multiple 10' tables with one piece slate at least that has been mentioned in the past as being in the cards. Maybe the spokesmodel handsome Lou will fill us in as to the exact events and equipment as he finds out more of the plans from Greg. Take it away Lou.
I think it will be a great event and should draw a huge crowd of players.

I think this is kind of the point here. No one really knows the details.
Ask Lou. He's the spokesperson now.
Tunica happening with 9' & 7' Tables
I've heard from a good source - meaning G.S. at Derby, there will be around 80 Bar Tables along with few dozen 9 ft tables.
I understand everyone would like to see an official press release on this event, but one thing Diamond is famous for is being detail oriented. DCC was only about a month ago and most business takes around 2 months to close the finance books on astronomical event as DCC!
Plus, DCC isn't the only demanding event Diamond is involved. I'm sure it's crazy at the plant loading tables to go out in a week for Super Billiard Expo.
I can't speak for Diamond, but I'm sure they will release a statement as soon as no lose end can be detected.
Tunica is happening for sure :thumbup: Now start saving the bank roll

Yes. At the DCC Ken Shuman announced right before the banks finale that Diamond would be hauling in 80-some odd bar boxes for an amateur event at Tunica.
Lou Figueroa
I cannot confirm nor deny the 10 footers at this time.
Lou Figueroa
getting' back into the swing
of this kinda gig
It's five frippin' months away. He's barely had a chance to wrap up the Derby. Cool your jets, all will be revealed in due course.
Lou Figueroa
I heard there was going to be 90 some odd barboxes not 80 some. Or was it 70 some?
Lou - can we get clarification on that?
Also, what type of refreshments will be made available? I'm particularly interested to know if there will be any peanuts. That is all.
I'm not booking my room until I hear back from the appointed spokesperson, preferably on company letterhead.

Lou,
Since you are now the official Tunica spokesmodel, you have to post a pic of yourself in an evening gown.
On second thought, please don't.
I wouldn't say I'm a banger, but I'm definitely no shortstop. If I run a rack, it's pretty much, "Dear diary, I had a great day! Ran a rack! I hope I can run another one this month...."
I assume I'll be fodder at this tournament, but being only 3 hours away.....it hits me that I really wanna go to this. I think it will be a great experience.

Sunny,
I've decided to go (once I get some hotel info).
I'm starting on the bankroll today....I'm hoping we can all have dinner at least once (though Mark was OBVIOUSLY ducking me in Reno last week...).
i plan on being there as work permits as i only live about an hour away.
as far as the rumor mill goes... i heard that the apa is going to hold a tournament there afterwards on the same tables. i was asked to join a team that is going to play in it.
i dont know any details, it is just what i heard.

That is great news! We will see you July 20-28!
I'm sure Diamond will update their website soon with details of the event along with Hotel Discount Code ** Very important!!
And I want to thank you very much for all your 'help' during Reno... And going along the extravagant & theatrical show Mark put up in order to duck the rematch of you two... Personally, I believe Mark was way out of stroke and had no choice, but in order to not lose his face & pride he had us all fooled... (please keep this convo between you and me as I hope not to be in dog house for siding away from home court...
)I will put Mark on strict and grueling training regiment so he will be on top of his game when he meets up with you at Tunica. He will not sleep until he steals the Betmore Cup away from your safe guarding!

While in Tunica
For those of you that will be attending this event let me say Welcome to the Mid-South. The mississippi delta during july is ....... well....hotter than hell and as humid as a steam bath. If you are attending and would like to see and hear a bit of Memphis music while in town, let me know. I have several friends that are musicians here and will be happy to share the Memphis Music Experience with my fellow pool lovers. ........Dan
