There will be a desk to the left of the outside of the tournament room. That is the desk where you can pay entries and buy backs and get your player id badge. The ID badge gets you in to the tournament room all week and I believe it comes with +1 pass also

Thanks so much for all the replies and tips, everyone.
One more question: I want a new jump cue, and my thought was I'd hold off and get one at the classic because I expect there will be an opportunity to try out a number of them? Is that true; are there tables in the vendor areas to test-hit a jump cue?

No tables in retail area!
Best to try and test out local players jump cues! Daniel Morror was selling a few jump cues! Shuff and Mike Davis swear by henshaw! I bought one!
I agree about trying before buying! Just not sure if they will allow testing it out on a low dollar ticket item.

After he invited me over and beat me for the King of MD crown.
I still havent recovered.
It's been a couple years Scott. Most of us (certain quoted miscreants notwithstanding) miss having him around.
There are some tables in the retail area, although they are not there for public play. I test hit a Joss cue that I purchased there last year. I can think of at least three tables that are usually there for testing the vendors equipment.
Not sure how they would feel about testing a jump cue!

That is quite a lineup.
Mike...Jacoby Cues ALWAYS has a table in the vendor area. They have their own jump cue too, but I've seen lots of other cues tried out on Dave's table. He usually has Little Joe there too, teaching on that table. Last year Joe got into a car accident on the way to DCC, and missed it. I'm sure he'll be back next month...at least I sure hope so!

Hi Andrew! Guess those lessons long ago are still paying off for you. I wish you well in your quest to "go pro"! You, if anyone, are smart enough to know this is still a hobby...and your real job supports your pool playing! Go out there and knock em dead buddy! :thumbup: It will be good to see you again!

Roberto is having Visa travel issues getting into this country and hopes to be able to make it back here in time to play in the Derby and the Big Foot Event.
Roberto Gomez is a great player and a really good guy one of the goods guys in pool.
Wow, great field. I don't recall ever seeing JL Chang at the Derby before, wonder if it's his first.
They set me on a good path, to be sure.
And yes, anyone who knows me well enough to care will know I was kidding about going pro.
Any word if Gomez resolved his visa issues? Thanks.
I try to avoid eating food from the casino, going so far to do the whole cooler, crackers, cheese, fruits, etc thing.
Why? Because this casino/hotel doesn't give two wet, hot sh1ts about the players or the event. I reserved two rooms for the full 10 days so I can have my son and father with me.. I fly in at midnight, get my rental car, and get to the casino by 1AM on the 24th, the day of my check-in. The front desk says that "today doesn't start until 4AM, so it will be $119.00 per room if you want to check in before 4AM."
I was told this at approx. 1:20AM. So the Horseshoe, for a customer laying out 3 grand in room costs alone, was perfectly willing to screw over that customer to make an extra $250.00. And otherwise, the room stays empty.
So, we dragged our ****ton of baggage down to the valet storage, drove 30 minutes to WalMart, and stocked up on food. I will do everything in my power not to consume a single ounce of food or liquid from this total sh1thole of a venue.
I truly, deeply wish that the Horeseshoe had been completely destroyed in the flood so that Diamond could have been released out of the contract so they could find another venue that appreciated the business. Literally any other appropriate-sized venue would be better than this place.
So you expected them to let you into the room at 1AM on the 24th when you didn't the rooms reserved for the night of the 23rd? You asked them to give you an extra night for free, and you hold a grudge that they didn't?
