The rooms are about 70.00 a night. The tournament is held where the rooms are. No fare needed. Make your reservations early. Like now.
Esitmate 10.00 to 15.00 per meal.
Last years entry fees:
9ball banks 75.00
One pocket 100.00
9 ball 125.00

Sleuth,

I know you think that the bus ride home will probably suck. It won't because you'll get about 2 hours sleep for the week because of all the action, matches, and activities. You will sleep the entire trip home. I promise it will be worth every nickel.

Ohhh I just now figured out what the "dog" meant. You're taking Greyhound. I guess you WILL need fare from greyhound to the DCC. I don't have a clue what that will cost. My wife and two kids flew round trip to Disney World last week for 400.00 total. You might want to double check the airfare.

According to what days you are there, I'm sure you can get someone from the board to pick you up at the bus terminal. I'll be there for the one-pocket and nine-ball. I'll be happy to do it if you come in during those times. If not, I'm sure you can find someone.

Last time I rode the Dog it was from Omaha to Sacramento. It was Winter, and I still hae dream about the Kid who Pet Rat got loose on the Bus at 0300....

Think I will also check out the Train & Airplanes... BUT I DO NOT LIKE to fly....

For those of you who are driving and seeking less expensive rooms, there is a place called InTownSuites that rents for about $160 for the week. It's not four-star accomodations, but it's cheep.

The Executive isn't close to being 4 stars and if you take into the consideration the food and how rude some of the employees were last yr... it doesn't even get a half of a single star. But.... it's convenient. With the format of the tournament, the action room, and the bar staying open until 4am.... If you partake in any one of those three things, you'll want to stay at the Executive. ;)

Thanks for letting people know of an alternative. Sometimes it's the cost of a room that makes things too expensive for people to go to events. Aside from the convenience, I like to try to support the venue that hosts the events but sometimes it's just not possible. In the grand scheme of things (IMO) it's always best to support the event to ensure it continues. By going to an event, regardless of where you stay, you're still supporting the event. :)

Sometimes the earlier you can get a plane ticket the cheaper it will be. Nashville to Orlando was 400.00 round trip for 4 people. You just can't beat that.

preach on brother....:D

and bring a journal....you have to write the events of the day as you go along/each nite because by the end of the DCC...you take in so much and with the sleep deprivation(it will happen), its impossible to remember it all!!! trust me on this...

this is the single best tournament to goto.....the us open has nothing on the DCC....

i hope they keep the entry fees the way they are too!!

Scruggs... speaks the truth. After last yr, I know that there's no way in the world I would drive to this event.... I could get there just fine but getting home would be an issue. It was all I could do to muster up the energy to go across the street to the airport!

I got there Fri night and by Tue my body hated me...I abused the heck out of myself with the sleep deprivation and alcohol intake. You only live once and it's only one week out of the yr.... If you can go, go and live it up & enjoy it.

That's up to you.

The DCC is what you make of it. Some people go to bed at a decent hour every night and get a good nights sleep. That's their choice....if you choose to do that, you can.

Some people like those of us that have posted so far are die hard pool fans that love the after hours action.... in order to see the tournament and enjoy all the after hours action, we rob ourselves of sleep.

Like anything else in life, it's a choice that you have to make. Obviously most of the people that have posted so far are people like myself that CHOSE to not get much sleep and DON'T MIND IT.

Personally I think it's ridiculous to decide not to go to a tournament because some people choose not to get much sleep at that particular event. LOL :rolleyes:

There are people that get more rest than myself and some that get even less.... what THEY do, does not decide what I do. If you want to go through life letting the choices that others made for themselves dictate what you do & don't do.... sorry about your luck is all I can say.

FYI... I've been around pool on & off for 15 yrs. The DCC is hands down the best event out there. If you don't go.... that's YOUR loss.


toodles!
