I doubt that DCC happens. Its possible a vaccine might be ready but how many will have gotten one??? You really want to go in a hotel full of pool players?? Personally i just don't see it happening.So I just booked my stay at the Caesars Southern Indiana for the Derby City Classic in January. What do you guys think? Is it going to happen? Will this horrible pandemic be a bad memory by then? Are all the great players going to be there?

It will probably happen if for no other than contractual reasons.

Does anyone know if the World 14.1 in November in Virginia has been cancelled?
You probably mean the American 14.1. I've seen no announcement yet, and I don't see any mention of a cancellation on their website. But since their strong field depends largely on the proximity of the International Open 9-Ball event, which has been postponed for a few months, the American 14.1 will either have to do likewise or proceed with a drastically weaker field.
Maybe they can get the US players to London early to quarantine for several days and test them. Perhaps they can play without fans. I hope the MC still happensWow, already booked! I'm impressed. Your optimism is a breath of fresh air in a year in which we've lost the US Open 9-ball, Turning Stone, The International, The World Cup of Pool, The World Pool Masters and many other fine events.
I've got tickets to the Mosconi Cup in December in London but have to wonder whether the event will take place at all. Presently, Americans aren't even allowed to fly into the airports of European Union countries. I wonder whether this will be resolved on time.
As painful as it is to say, I think you are right to be concerned about the Derby City Classic. Places with significant indoor gatherings, such as gyms, hotel convention centers, movie theaters, libraries, museums, and indoor dining establishments, will be the very last things to open. Here in New York, these have all been expressly excluded from Phase 4 of the Reopening Plan and, thus, are not yet on the reopen calendar.
My fingers are crossed with respect to the 2021 Derby City Classic.
You mean this year?? Don't see that happening.Maybe they can get the US players to London early to quarantine for several days and test them. Perhaps they can play without fans. I hope the MC still happens
I believe it will happen and I will be there, by far my favorite tournament.
maybe the fields will be limited to 100 per tournament.
