If you are looking to play in the 8 ball open, I think you can just pay the $425 entry and get a spot. I could be wrong but I dont think the 8 ball ever fills up to capacity.
Try emailing Sue or Odie if you are interested.
$425 is a little steep for me to justify.
Emailing Odie is a waste of time, WORST people skills on the planet. Very rude at the qualifier this past Saturday at Millsy's. Got very loud for no reason on very easy questions.
S: "I havent played in 15 years (canadians) can I play in the AM event?
Odie: "How did you do last year?"
D: "How many people played the 9 ball open division last year?"
Odie: "Dont you tell me any questions!!!" (EXACT quote)
Many others can confirm this.
