Sounds like the facility is a real disappointment, even worse than years past.
Iirc, SBE moved to a warehouse type room last year,perhaps it is time to consider the same for dcc?

Many casinos have pacts with the state they're in. These usually forbid any gambling not run/monitored by the casino and said state agency(s). At DCC's in the past they've kinda held their nose/looked the other way on this. I'm not there this year so i can't comment on level of clamp-down but i've heard its real.
Nothing petty about it. Its all about who's IN. These companies spend millions on these places and ALL action gets whacked-up by the casinos, state, fed, locals. They aren't IN in any way on these pool matches thus the regulations covering it. Ever since DCC moved to the casino they've been aware of these statutes. Its not a big deal until some moron starts flashing his stacks out in the open.
First in history? Id say maybe the 5,000th- Scott Simonetti of NJ lost a hand and foot and now plays 'A' speed with prothetics.
What about the dress code??Seemed like it was a major topic the other day. Is everyone being good and wearing their collared-shirt pool uniform?? The no-icecream deal must be brutal.
Not a collar in sight. Haha
There was a guy who won 6 Three cushion world championships with a prosthetic leg.
Robert L. Cannefax was his name, about 1917 to 1923 I believe.
He had a booklet called the Cannefax Charts, that showed the tracks on a billiard table.
Not even in the tournament area? Imagine that.
Larry came thru Tallahassee and spent a few months there while I was in school. Our pool room had some bar boxes downstairs that we barely used. A couple of Gainesville road runners stopped by and Larry would spank their butts and send them home crying and broke. Damn that guy could play with that big cue ball. I seem to remember his wife/girlfriend had some pretty serious demons that distracted him at times but when he was “on” Larry could find an extra gear.
The Horseshoe is a great venue for the players spectators and gamblers. The overhead seating over the main floor is very cool. The action and practice rooms spread around are great for money matches. You just need to be a little cool about flashing money.
The downsize is the somewhat remote location from town and the long walk from hotel rooms to tournament room.
Im not sure of anything but id bet that Greg is getting at least a cut of the room revenue which allows him to add $$ to the pot which he does.
Ya think? First i've heard of that.
Well maybe not directly, but heavy discounting to rent the playing venue thus enabling DCC to afford the added money to the events.
See at the bottom of the main page SPONSORS = Horseshoe Southern Indiana, Diamond, Simonis, etc..

just a curiosity question here
do you see a lot of pros/top money players playing with carbon fiber shafts?

Yeah, that's probably right.
Dennis didn't use it on the Bigfoot. Watched Busty, Morra, LeeVan, and Filler didn't use it. Filler did use it at the Mosconi cup. Shaw didn't use it. I'm not sure if he used at the MC. I think Melling uses the revo, but I didn't watch his match.
Melling, Mika, SVB, Thorpe are a few that use cf shafts. I think Chang Jung Lin started using a Mezz cf in the last year or so. Used one at the Int'lOpen.
