Music City Open- Nashville, TN JOB Billiards.

Annual Music City Open in Nashville, TN, at the infamous JOB Billiards. This race-to-11, double-elimination tournament boasts a guaranteed $6,000 added to be played for on a collection of 3 ½ by 7 foot Diamond pool tables, with the first-place winner receiving a Gibson guitar on top of the prize fund.

Just in case no one added this fine tournament....

Shooter's Billiards, Olathe KS $5,000 added...

Midwest 9ball Tour, at least the Olathe stop (haven't been to any others), usually has a pretty hefty calcutta. They do a final 16 (32? 8? - can't remember for sure) auction, too. They're a lot of fun and draw some really heavy hitters.

All divisions at the Derby

This deserves its own post:
The massive 128-player field that came to play for the $25,000-added prize purse at the Turning Stone Classic XIV

http://www.tournamentguidemag.com/2009/02/05/billiards-25000-added-turning-stone-classic/ Although this was from 2009, it had a good flyer..

I believe this tournament happens twice a year and sells out quickly. 128 players,.....

FLA tournament

The best tourney I've seen in a long time was at Capones on Springhill FL, Rocky the owner, had $1,000 added weekly 9 ball events I think Monday night tourneys, that's $52,000 added in a yr, and it was only $20-$25 to get in, no greens fees.

Why did you leave and go back to Colorado?

I was just wondering if any of you had thoughts about which tournaments paid out the most money. [...]

It's not quite up to the standard of some of the biggies here, but this will be a really good tournament weekend in Fargo. Great time to plan a road trip.

Fargo Billiards Summer Shootout - July 23-25

$3,300 added for the weekend. Over $14,000 cash out for the Winter Shootout.

Besides the 35 Diamond 7' tables, plenty of 9' tables to keep folk busy between matches.

Joey - we are adding Jambalaya as a regular menu offering, and we sure would like to get your opinion/input...

Sorry I missed this post Mike but if you make the Jambalaya again, be sure and send me a CARE package for review purposes.

$3300 of added money is very serious for a weekend tournament. Hope the event went well.

What is the Winter Shootout looking like at Fargo Billiards?

 

[mikepage]

The Fargo Midwinter Shootout is scheduled for January 21-23

$500 added 9-ball Friday 6:00 pm - $40 entry
$2500 added 8-ball Saturday/Sunday - $60 entry

--will be a really good weekend...

Mike...I know I sound like a broken record (or your personal cheerleader), but...if you are traveling on I-29 or I-94, and you LOVE pool, you would be an idiot if you didn't stop in to experience Fargo Billiards. Mike Page really shows how it CAN be done! Great food & drink; great equipment; great atmosphere; great tournament action...Fargo Billiards has it all! :thumbup:
