do you really think the 14 all ready signed up are all gentlemen, Earl is a gentlemen compared to a couple of those guys.
This should be based on skill anyway.

Shuff got 2nd, that's like an automatic spot in my mind
I have to agree about Shuff.
Brandon was second two years ago to Efren. Now he's IN! One spot left. It will go to Francisco or Efren. Unfortunately in a sixteen player field, some good players will get left out. We are seriously considering going to 32 players next year (2013). Space and time are the major considerations in making this happen.
yeah Brandon!!!!
Great Choice Thanks Jay!!!!!

Yeah, it's kind of a weak field, isn't it? Guess what denzy, you don't have to watch! :thumbup:
This should be opened up to 32 man field this year. I'm sure they would be able to make it work. Wouldn't it just take an extra round to be played? I'm sure there is time for that.
Why wasn't Earl invited?
Let me get this right...people don't watch pool because you have the right to not watch pool? hummmm???
If I were Eric, or whoever it is that put up the added money, I would keep it at 16-man field and invitational only. At 16, It's got a more "exclusive" feel to it. Truly the top talents in the world and a highly prestige event.
Sure, there will be several players worthy to be in the 16 that are left out. But that's the beauty of it.
Besides, even if the field is opened to 32-invitational, there will still be players left out who are worthy to be in. So the argument is back full circle.

I like the 16 because it will always be filled. 32 and you might have trouble filling the field. It's kind of like the small restaurant packed every night, with a waiting line at peak times. They decide to double their size with added parking and now, never seeing a waiting line, people start to wonder, "What happened to the good food? You never see anybody going to that restaurant any more. Let's find a better restaurant."
Huh???? Say again please. This makes as much sense as your "joke" comment. We've got sixteen of the strongest players in the world playing long matches for serious money and you're the only guy complaining about that. I think the joke is on you. Maybe you just don't like pool. Have you thought about joining a chess forum? Or maybe checkers, now there's an exciting game for you.
:thumbup:Ok for the third time - when is the event?
