Hey Marissa, It was good to meet you too. Didn't get a chance to tell you that I loved your outfit. Wish we had had more time to talk. Hope to see you again soon.

PS
Dead doesn't have all the facts on things and has been put on my ignore list. I now do that to people that I believe just want to stir up trouble. It works really great.

As for the equipment she had to work with, they were equivalent to what you would find in a dive bar, and there was nothing Kay could do about it. To my knowledge, Predator had nothing to do with that either, since I saw someone bring them up. Dragon Promotions had a table sponsor, and I would think that they could have done something to help the situation but didn't for whatever reason.
I noticed that the ref waited until Saturday to pick on Corey Deuel about his break, when at no time was it stated that three balls had to make it completely past the side pocket.
By the way, there was an amazing female player from Spain who finished in every event she played in. I forgot her name, but I'm sure someone could post it, and her finishes, as she will be someone to look out for.
I don't understand the lack of quality equipment in the amateur event, which made it painful to watch so I didn't. I hope a lesson was learned and we'll see a change in future tournaments.

They waited until the last minute to get tables for the amateur events. Once again the people who set up the tables for the pro event said they had tables ready for the amateur events but they also said "someone" and we all know who that is, Didn't want to pay for them. They didn't want to spend a penny on the tournament yet make as much as they could by taking a lot of money out of the amateur events and pocketing all the money spent in quarters for the tables. It was the same thing with the cue balls we had to use. They had 5 or 6 regular size cue balls and 11 of the oversized cue balls and elected to use the oversized ones because they didn't want to spring for a few more cue balls. This is true. I am a good player and have played under many different conditions but I can tell you now I will not be attending another one of his events for a long time to come if ever. I usually wouldn't even care but it was just so poor and all the money that had to be spent to attend this event was just over the edge. Just think if you were one of the people who paid $100 a night to stay at the Hyatt as they suggested, Then another $65 and $75 to play in both events. Oh, Let's not forget about paying $1.00 per game to play on this fine equipment and your time spent to travel to this event. Marissa, I would have to agree with you. Penalizing someone who has perfected a break that many others don't have down is a joke. Also, The girl from Spain was Amalia Matos. Not positive on the spelling but I think that's how. She sure was cute.

Wow, I'm glad work kept me from attending now. Tell me, how did the Junior Tournament go? I thought it was great that they were having a junior tourney, but I also thought it was silly not to include it as a qualifier for the BCA Nationals coming up this summer. Oh well,...
PS..Congrats to Cue Chick for the good finish. She seems to be playing well lately, regardless of the conditions....Great to see her playing well!

The Junior event was small but they did well. I'm not sure who won it but they did have fun. I got up at 8 am
after calling my last match at 2 am to open the tables for them. I went back upstairs freshened up and was back by 10 am. The guys that saw me that morning early and then saw me later told me that I cleaned up fairly well 
.
The cute chick was Amalia Matas from Spain. She was very sweet and did well in all events. On certain occasions I had to have an interpreter to help me out. My spanish was as broken as her english but a very sweet girl and got a lot of respect from the players with her abilities. And yes a lot of the guys were checking her out.

Thanks for the info Kay. My son and about eleven other junior players decided to pass on the weekend event and go to Highpockets (Memphis)last weekend for a BCA qualifier instead. The competition was very good with a friend of mine, Joseph "JOJO" Cole taking the top spot in the 19 and under division. You guys better look out for this kid, I think he will be a threat for the National Title this year.
As for the Cute Chick, I actually mean "Cue Chick" she is a female amateur from the Atlanta area that is a tournament regular and posts here quite frequently. She was a top finisher in the WPBA Amateur Nationals several years ago and here lately she is starting to play very well again. She's a cute chick too (smile), but that's beside the point. To me, she is an AZ friend that is working her way through the fish bowl, and I'm proud of her recent progress and high finish in the ladies amateur 9 Ball Event.

amalia matas
Miss matas is currently ranked 11th on the euro women's pro tour. She plays against Wendy, jasmine and the rest. I certainly don't think she is an amatuer player. Pros and top regional women players were not supposed to play in the tournament. Amalia is at that level and by playing, it was the equivalent to stealing.

amatuer said:
I'm glad someone finally said it. The fact is that Predator flew her in to do just that-steal the money. I heard someone say that I shouldn't have been able to play. I AM an amatuer. I play maybe once a week and I don't play in any big tournaments. I lost both finals to Amalia, and I'm sure that some of the people that read this are going to assume that I am a poor loser, but I promise that is not the case. This is the first I have said anything public, if you will, about it. My point is simply that if you set guidelines for something- you don't just push them aside for one person. If she was allowed to play then there should not have even been an "ineligible" list of women.
I would also like to share that I have tried twice to contact Dragon Promotions via their website. I addressed some of the grievances that everyone had, but mostly I was looking for an answer that I was supposed to get from their staff (regarding the purchase of one of the pro tourney tables) during the tournament. The girl took down my phone number and they now have my e-mail address........no response. IMAGINE THAT! I guess I shouldn't be surprised! Memo to DP: Good business comes from good management, good marketing, good public relations......any of this ringing a bell??

She is sponsored by Predator- they were one of the sponsors of the tournament- they knew the criteria for the event- they flew her to the tournament. You do the math. I don't feel any ill will towards her or Predator, but you gotta see that they knew better.
