Please accept my apology for putting this in the main section, however Mr. Bill Haley, the owner of Comet Billiards and a tremendous supporter of pool and billiards for years by supporting tours and the players has generously taken up the task of running this event with only a two and a half weeks notice. The previous host room called today to say his tournament director, Jose Burgos is not available and felt he could not continue with the event. Below are more details about the tournament at Comet.
