One bump for the Missouri players. I probably won't play this year for a number of reasons - the main one being the no smoking situation in Springfield. Yes, I am THAT addicted.
I'm in very north central Arkansas. Just below West Plains, MO. Wish these events didn't require Missouri citizenship. Sigh.

I play pool in Mizzou every week, does that count? lol
Wonder if they will get enough word out? Didnt have enough interest for the eightball,although i attribute that to them not mailing out flyers. Believe it or not not everyone has access to a computor. We are talking about poolplayers here. Also it sounds like springfield has gone smokeless,i remember how that turned out in columbia.
I believe there is a typo in the flyer with regard to the races - should be race to 6 instead of 5.
Thanks for the kind words, Sam, and I hope you don't have too many lingering issues/pain from your wreck. I will probably see you down there.
Take care,
Aaron
Corrected.

If your getting married in june ,than you might want to change that, "my way" under your name. Congratulations.
This hasn't stopped them from letting quite a few out of staters play repeatedly. If Phil likes you, give it a shot.
These state tournaments take money OUT of the prize pool - good luck with your dream of added money to anything.
Bring on the hate.
Bring on the truth.
Don't know how long you have been around but would you give me $500 for every out of state player that has played (and placed high) in this event?
Speaking of $500, that is what was removed from the prize pool to pay for the trophies - the same trophies the players got charged for on the 1099.
As for how long i've been around, i've been going to columbia and springfield since 82. Don't have any illussion's of ever winning just en joy seeing guys i've known since i was 21.I'm now 52, know theres money taken out ,but just cant see why you have to knock this tourny every year. You did the same thing last year.
Knock the tournament?
I think that the facts are just being thrown out, players do NOT want a trophy, they want CASH.
Just put up a plaque and put the winners name on it each year.
This tournament drags in lots of players, like watches says, they all are NOT Missouri residents. All you have to do is secure a Missouri ID and you are in? perhaps not even that.
I know a bunch of players that make the trip, year after year.:grin-square:
