Some of the registered players have dropped out and Matchroom has a few spots to fill in the field. It's on their facebook page now. This is an opportunity for someone on the "waiting list" to get in, but they must act quickly.
Matchroom looking for players for the U.S. Open
- Thread starter jay helfert
- Start date
If that's true it really sucks, I've been done with work for 2 weeks and would have played for sure.
I miss everything because of work and could have made this with 2 weeks to get in "stroke" lol.

That is not, IMO, a good way to do things.
The players and their $$$ should be "confirmed" before being added to the list.
To me, ^^^^^^^ is just common sense.
How can they expect ANYONE to feel comfortable enough to do business with them if that is common practice for them?

Well, it all "sounds" shady and dishonest.
I thought they were gonna do "good things" for pool and its participants?
I know several people that have $$$ on some of the matches. It would suck to have your horse to "not be there".....when they, were "on the list" as a "confirmed" entrant.
Again, very shady.

Very confusing here. At almost every event I've ever attended, the draw was done after the players meeting. Even players that have committed to an event shouldn't be drawn into matches until they show up to the event.
Growing pains here. I hope they get this mess sorted out.

Which players? Did they ever contact Matchroom?

Ditto. I was dying to play and very surprised at how early it filled. I get into a funk every time I sit out a US Open. Playing the ghost at home, kicking myself for not being a part of this. To find out there are a bunch of unpaid players taking my spot, some of which might not have even signed up, is disappointing.
I don't like it gang, but I still say let's give Match Room time to run the event to the finish line before we lynch them. I'm not going IPT and wanting it so bad I close my eyes, but I do think they have a substantial track record and I'll see where they go with this.

Honestly, WHO CARES. …. Anyone who's ever planned so much as a large dinner in their lifetime knows there's a certain amount of "finesse" involved in the organizing process ... Clearly there's a couple Matchroom haters who like playing up the drama here like a broken record.
The fact that some gaps need to be filled is nothing new. Just about anyone who's anyone is/has been in Vegas all week already anyway.

Well, I sure as F ain't one of em, been looking for flights in the AM but it's not gonna happen. Think I'll go back to AC and play more poker.
Not out to hang MR, this coulda been avoided though.
Still gonna enjoy the sh!@ outta watching from the poker table. Might fly there on Tues or Wed anyway.

Why did they not work with any of the known organizers, hire them as consultants, and avoid this bs?
