I think it is more than obvious you would need to be rated by the pool room that is holdling the tournament. And giving your NAME when asking what you would be rated most likely would be helpful.
No, problem...either way is fine...didnt know if I had to do anything special if they would take my magoos rating...be alot simpler to just be rated there....im sure I will be able to play up to my crappy C speed

Oh, and my name is Shawn Smith
