Allen Hopkins Valley Forge 8-Ball Barbox Championships

) Didn't look too successful to me, but what do I know, he's doing another one
It looks like a great event, and being that it's only about 2 hours for me, it is very inviting. 
I wonder if the Radisson and the Scanticon are all filled up with vendors attending the event. I don't like staying at hotels off site. The parking is too brutal at this conference center. It is difficult to get a room at the Radisson adn Scanticon, if not impossible. I can't take all the miles and miles of walking anymore. It is so much more comfortable to have a room on site.

Thanks for posting this, Claymont.
I don't see it listed on AzBilliards Tournament Calender on the Main Page, unless I missed it.
Somebody in Allen's camp needs to get a little PR going! I am usually pretty cognizant of what's happening nearby my neck of the woods.
I may just have to check into this event, if I can get a hotel on site. I refuse to stay off site and then have to walk the miles and miles like a mountain goat.

Jen, I didn't go last year, but from what I understand, this event is no where near as large as the SBE in March. There are only a handful of vendors. IIRC, there are some league events, so rooms may still be tight, but not as tight as for the SBE.
I believe it is free to enter and watch. Of course, there is a fee to play in the event.
If you go, please report back. At this point, I don't believe I'll be going, but I would like to know if it is worth considering in the future.

I don't understand why it wasn't advertised better; I didn't find out it until a registration card arrived in the mail last week.
I live about 25 miles away, so I usually drive back and forth, but that drive gets a little long at four in the morning. With the gas prices going up, I just might consider staying this time.
