This is a wow and great statement to 1p, the organizers, the players and Classic Billiards. The players speak for themselves. Classic Billiards is a great pool room, plenty of parking. Jimmy Lawless runs a great room. Good luck to all.

THANKS,I am trying my best to make this a real good event..

Was talking to Jimmy yesterday. He's pretty excited about the event. I won't be playing but I'll be there for sure. Quite a field so far. Our local rooms need all the publicity they can get. Let's keep em profitable.

If you are gonna make it 2 days and true double elim, why not extend the race on the losers side to 4.

I'd like to come, but as a duffer, I need all the extra games I can get :)

This is super exciting and awesome.

I only wish I was good enough to participate. I might even make the trip up to be a spectator.

Thanks for doing this.

Keith McCready!

I don't know how you did this but that is a feat in itself. This alone should spark a little interest. It's only been about 10 years since he disappeared.
