Hollywood, FL - Get excited for the 2008 Seminole Pro Tour! This season marks the year the Seminole Pro Tour expands out of Florida and into the Southeast. The season includes eight monthly tournaments starting in March that lead up to the season ending event, the Steve Mizerak Championship at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in November. A stop at Mr. Cues II in Georgia and Fast Eddies in North Carolina debut on the schedule. We also welcome two new Florida rooms to the schedule, Diamond Billiards in Cape Coral and The Art of Billiards in Gainesville.

The Seminole Pro Tour is a series of 10-ball billiards tournaments held in various cities throughout the Southeast. Players not only compete for prize money, but against top-level professionals like Corey Deuel, Stevie Moore, Tony Crosby and Marlon Manalo. The tournaments are open to all men and women, and a tour card is not needed to participate in our events.

The biggest contributor to the tour is the Seminole Tribe of Florida, adding over $25,000 throughout the season. Although the Seminole Tribe of Florida has financially supported the Seminole Florida Pro Tour since its conception, this is only the second year the Tribe has managed the operations of the tour.

Seminole Sports Management has officially launched a new website! You will be able to find out Seminole Pro Tour information such as results, rankings, upcoming events, and even see pictures! Please visit us at www.SeminoleSportsManagement.com

Seminole Sports Management, an elite event management and sports marketing company owned by the Tribe, was brought in to improve the Seminole Pro Tour with each coming year. The goal is to get more support for the Tour through sponsorships and vendors, expand the events throughout the nation and to compete to be one of the best professional tours around.

That is some great added money, Kevin. Are there any particulars that remain constant thoughout the entire tour, such as percentages of payout, entry fees etc. ?

That is some great added monies. The Seminole Tribe always gets two thumbs up from me. They are the best pool sponsors around.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Please drop in the main forum often.

We sometimes forget that the Seminole Pro Tour has their own Forum here on AZ.

Thanks Joey

Entry fees are always $150 in advance (not the Mizerak event), and $175 if you register within the week of the event. We do this because we have been timing the matches throughout the event to make for a more enjoyable experience for all parties involved. Ideally, we would like to get the field to fill up as far in advance as possible. Most of our events will be capped at 72 players, but a few of the events wont be due to a large number of tables.

As far as the payout goes, its not an exact percentage eevry time, but we do make sure to help out the lower end of the cashed players.

Thanks for the support again, and I will try to post any updates on both forums to keep everybody in the know!

So the entire tour is now going to be 3 day events or more? Except for the final event, they all start on Fridays. None except the last tournament are in South Florida either :-(

Damn, it looks like i'm sitting out the entire tour. I cant take that many vacation days out of the year to go play pool.

^^ Very disappointed these are not on the stops. Infact I don't see anything down this way besides the HR final. I'm happy it is expanding, but very unhappy it isn't hosting events down this way.

Also if you guys need any design/print/web work from now on, please contact me.

There are reasons for choosing the rooms that we did, and not going back to some rooms. I know its unfortunate for those locals in that area, but we have to think about the bigger picture here when looking at the Tour. You never know what will happen in the future though...

As far as Friday night starts, we did this for amlmost half of the events last year and found it to be very successful. Most of the players enjoyed it as we were able to knock out some games on Friday and not play until 3am on Saturday. Again, it is unfortunate for the players that are unable to play at all until Saturday morning, but we must look at the overall professionalism of the event as well as the # of players.

Thanks for your feedback guys...
