No wonder you always bring that Samsonite brief case.

I wonder what you have in there.

Right Bob

There are lots of things to see in person that will never be in the stream. For example, I've twice seen rain on the tournament tables at world championships. I think that has not been on a stream lately. For me attending a tournament nearly always includes picking up something priceless.

Like when Steve Lipsky played the opening safe on Johnny Archer. Johnny looked at the stack and said I am playing a combo...Steve does it look dead...that was on a non streaming table...priceless. The combo wasn't dead...as Johnny found out after he shot it!

Also after Thorsten beat Mika 125 to 1 in the semi finals and Schmidt beat Archer 125 to -1 Johnny said to Mika...if we add our scores together we got zero...the price was cheap for the talent at this tournament!

charge

They only charged 10 dollars

MD State 14.1 tournament!!!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that came to support us!!!
Also to all the players that came. This was the absolute best we ever had!!! And to watch all the talent in person was cool. The door charge was to try to make back part of the added money (which was huge!!!) and we did pretty good people!!! The seniors we charge only $10 anyone else got in for $20

Thanks for your support people it's not an easy task getting all those world champions!!

I wanted to say thanks again people.....and I can't wait for next year!!!!

PS- Next year we should get Efren and busty!!! WOWWWW!!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks, Rick & Cindy!!

I wanted to say a special thanks also to: Megan for running such a great tournament!!! And also to Robert Cord for helping me with the tables!!! Plus, a huge thank you to Peter Burrows for recruiting all the BIG GUNS!!

One more... a huge THANK YOU TO JR.CALVERT AND ALVIN FOR THE LIVE STREAM!!

Thanks to you all for putting on a great show.

Great show!

I watched the stream. If I could have been there, $20-to see the best-no problem. (I am a senior but would gladly pay young 'uns' prices).Hey, for $20, you couldn't buy a piece of chalk. (Kamui, that is.)

My wife and I are seniors but we were asked for $20 each at the door and paid it. I guess we look young.
This tournament was worth every penny.

On Sat. and Sun. I tried any info on the Live Stream for the tourny, I could not find any. I was really surprised!

Did anyone else have issues?

I think that after John won that first tournament the monkey is off his back. I think we will see great things from him in the future.

what were the payouts?
