Any Updates?

It sure don't sound good...it fact there is no sound. Johnnyt

All you have to do is look and you can find a little information.
Here is the web site.
http://www.milliondollar9ball.com/index.html

I assume more information will be available after the Super Billiards Expo. I'm sure they are busy with that right now.

I have to think this might be in trouble judging by the lack of any buzz on it currently. There should be at least some qualifiers scheduled by now.

qualifiers

im pretty sure SLATE PLUS (the old chelsea) will be holding a qualifier but i dont know when, my wife is trying to convince her boss to do it for now so ill keep you guys updated on that...

Sarnias rack n roll is hosting a sub qualifier april 19th & 20th $40.00 entry and qualifier june 13th- 15th $200.00 entry information can be found at Azbilliards under tournaments

Myself and a player from out west were discussing this tournament while in VF and according to them, there were supposed to be a few qualifiers in CA that never came to fruition.

Outside of the tournament buffalo bill just mentioned, does anyone know if anymore qualifiers have been held or are confirmed to be held? I haven't been online in quite awhile and VF was my first interaction with pool in months so forgive me if I've missed something.

Thanks

winner of subqualifier Elio D'Andrea he wins entry into main qualifier and cash 2nd Arland White 3rd Gary Wonderham . Good time going to try again this weekend April 26th and 27th $40.00 entry

Congratulations to Harvey Shognosh Gary Wonderham and Elio D'Andrea all three have won entries into my qualifier June 13th - 15th value $200.00.Good Luck to all and thanks for the support in trying to make the Million Dollar Shoot-Out a success ! See you in Valley Forge!

I think it is going to happen in the year 2046.

...the price of gas will be $800,000.00 a gallon.

Updates???

I would call and see how the turnout was for these qualifiers.. if they went off and had a good turn out I would bet that it is going to go off, based on Allen Hopkins past reputation of promoting quality events.

This event is definitely going to happen, so if any of you have been wondering - here is your answer. Our anticipated turnout was 200 players originally, and we are still hoping for that. As of now, over 140 players have signed up on our website, expressing their interest in playing...

We have posted some different scenarios on our website, be sure to check it out. Keep in mind, this event will happen. Even if we only get 10 players, then 10 players will play for a piece of $50,000.

We realize that there are many great players out there who may not have the cash required to get in, well - now, they can still play! We have devised a system for potential sponsors/backers to get involved...

You choose your player, Allen Hopkins will personally contact them and inform them of your intent... If the player accepts, you pay their entry directly to Allen Hopkins Productions. You are not responsible for anything other than entry fees.

Check out our site for more info, this is a great way to get involved... you can get a piece of great players around the world... This is the nuts, be sure to look into this!

And many thanks to the places around the world that have had qualifiers...
