Having booked Friday I was unable to get a room the night before the start. They are booked up for that Tuesday. Some other event going on. But was still able to book for the whole week.JAM said:The buy-back format provides incentive to all, the "recreational player" and "champs." The money payouts cover a very large percentage of the field as well, stuffing the pockets of many a player.
Last year, a new software was utilized for the designated match times. With the uncertainty of WHO may desire to buy back, if and when a buy-back may occur, it was difficult for the TD's to let the players know when to show up for their matches. Word of advice, get plenty of sleep before arriving in Louisville! There is never a dull moment.![]()
This will be the third year for the Annual Louie Roberts Award to be bestowed on the most entertaining player in memory of St. Louis Louie Roberts. Alex the Lion won it the first year, and Tony Watson got the honors last year. Tony stole the show last year providing many hours of rail-side entertainment!
It is convenient to stay at the Executive West, the host hotel. Last year, some folks waited until they arrived to book a room and were saddened to learn that the place was filled up. Anyone planning on attending should take advantage NOW of the special $69 room rate for the Derby City Classic.
