This precursor to the upcoming World 10 Ball Championship next week starts tomorrow. Like "practice session" before the big one.
6 of Top 10 Fargorate / 11 of Top 20 Fargorate are playing. Right now 102 players registered, 26 slots remaining.
About 40% >750 Fargo/ About Half >700 Fargo. A lot of dead money :(
Funny that this is 9b instead of 10b.

Wow, this is FREE STREAM on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/csipool
Must be first time CSI hands out free stream. Thank you :wink:

Where is Dennis Orcollo?

Didn't see him on the players list for either of these.

If you were rich, wouldn't it be fun to go piss away some money, and get a player's card at one of these big time events? All that pressure, playing on a big stage, sweating bullets. You could always tell your buddies that you were knocked out of the tournament by one of the top 20 players in the world. Oh the memories!!!

Pretty dumb he (presumably) didn't get an invite to the WPA World 10 Ball. Who were CSI and the WPA's wild card spots?

You can do this at Derby city and you don't have to be rich.

Seems like most of the time they never show the early 1st (10am) matches out there. I'll check back in a couple of hours. Time to go get some sweet and sour.

Point taken. I was referring to the cost of doing Vegas in style overall; not just paying the entry fee and eating ham sandwiches in my hotel room. Go to Vegas and high roll like a pimp with a Meucci.

Went the pool room 2 days ago ready to serve it up to anybody who wanted some. First people I see are Chua and Ignacio just standing there beaming me as I walked in lol. I guess they stopped in LA for a few days first.

Unbelievable. Looks like they did not seed the draw.
The 3 highest Fargo in this event all in same section.Plus throw in Ralf and Wu Kun Lin and this is Death Valley. lol
Round 2 will be SVB v Chang
Round 3 SVB or Chang v Filler

By round 3 , two of them will be on losers side and facing early exit.
